2 year old gets shot in Harlesden last night, along with 3 others. Saw the job coming through and thanked **** we weren’t sent.
But yeah, let’s physically attack the police in London over something that happened miles away in another country.....’cos that’s were the problem lies.

I think it’s about a lot more than one man’s murder. Obviously some people will use legitimate protests as an excuse to kick off but there’s plenty of inequality and prejudice here.
No doubt.....but communities also have to look at themselves as well as others to seek were problems lie.
I'm puzzled by your attitude over these protests, Stainesy. Do you think they shouldn't be happening? People protesting here are not just doing so in support of George Floyd, but every oppressed minority anywhere.

If I’m totally honest my view is probably ‘Cos of 2 reasons.
Firstly, as you know, my lad has recently joined the OB. Now you couldn’t meet a nicer lad, polite, kind, passionate about doing good in his community and extremely anti-racist. When I hear the usual ACAB blah, blah, blah bollox and hear the **** he gets it obviously pisses me off somewhat that people would be willing to attack him solely for the uniform he wears.
Secondly, since in the Ambulance I’ve seen with my own eyes the abuse and violence that gets given to the OB, the absolute vast majority of it totally unwarranted. I have NEVER seen any OB on the job, lose their rag and have seen them use the most minimal force possible and always trying to respect people.
I’m not stupid and realise there are always gonna be ****s in whatever organisation, however this current trend of ‘all coppers are ****s’ is just plain wrong.
In your last point Strolls, I don’t really think spray painting graffiti on a war memorial or looting Louis Vuitton is the greatest of ways in supporting an oppressed minority.
Hope that answers your question
The Cozzers round our way put up with a lot, especially when Portsmouth are at home. I will always give them a smile, when I see them.
at least they are better dressed whilst being oppressed
I'm not sure it does answer my question fully mate, but it does give me a better idea of where you're coming from. My family is steeped in Old Bill - there's a picture of my grandfather standing guard outside 10 Rillington Place, my brother was involved in major child sex abuse investigations in the 80s, and my nephew is currently in the Sweeney - so I fully respect and admire your son's career choice (as I do your own), but I don't think you should necessarily conflate the George Floyd demonstrations with an anti-OB sentiment in this country. Most people here will recognize that the standard of policing here is vastly different - and superior - to that in the US. My ex-OB brother now lives in the US and is scathing about policing in the States as compared to the UK, which he puts down to poor standards of selection and training.
