This seems to have caused a bit of a stir going by replies of another forum. Merseyside police. Seems like someone was trying humour but has backfired. So whats your take on this kind of thing. Its out of order. We want action? Humour in bad taste. Nothing more? You see far worse everywhere on the internet? Its quite funny? Its funnier watching the faux outrage at comments like these? ****er needs hung drawn and quartering? More twitter ****e. Anyone who uses it should have a ragworm shoved down their japs eye? Whats your view?
Not bothered. When I read the headline I thought it was rating o Adam Johnson or something but turned out it was light hearted humour. But then again, I've never been raped or known anyone who has. Might feel differs to them.
Jokes like that don't offend me in the slightest, I've heard them all and never been bothered as a joke is a joke, however you'd like to think the police would have more dignity.
To all those getting 'outraged' at this piece of banter. Why don't you get 'outraged' at the 1400 real abuses (still) going on in Rotherham and all the other places like that where little girls are being abused and raped on an industrial scale. I thought the tweet wasn't funny, pretty useless joke really, but all these attention seekers and virtue signallers are falling over themselves trying to out-outrage each other.
Merseyside police, I'd expect nothing more from them. It's not offensive but if there's one group of people who can't make rape jokes at any time in any context it is the police. You were butchered in the arse yesterday mind, without consent.
It only further destroys the myth about the incredible 'Scouse wit' ......... not offended or outraged but it's idiotic and they'll be punished.
The problem with social media. People cannot transfer their meaning and interpretation of the thought into the written word, and others cannot see what was meant to be behind the plain black and white wording. Police need a stupidity bollocking. ‘I KNOW THAT YOU BELIEVE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU THINK I SAID BUT I’M NOT SURE YOU REALISE THAT WHAT YOU HEARD IS NOT WHAT I MEANT’
I'm not offended in the slightest. I don't find it funny but then I'm not a spotty school kid so why would I? The fact that it's the police is just cringeworthy. What ****ing idiot thought it would be a good idea for the police to start joking about rape?
Maybe we should bring back the 11+ for the Merseyside Police just to make sure they have a modicum of intelligence before they offer them the job.
For me Social Media is the platform of everything that seems ****ed up in the world at the moment. You have fanatics using it for all kinds of propaganda, recruitment and bragging, you have a pool of millions that see it as the cyber 'X-Factor' to come up with some wit or the exclusive post that sends them into some kind of superstar mode if they get the re-tweets and likes, which in itself shows the sheer shallowness and attitude of the individual and then you get footballers with photos of them practically having a **** and the likes of look-at-me-listen-to-me Jeremy Clarkson's who write something and wait for a cyber round of applause.. You have a front door, walk through it outside, leave your smart phone at home and go and talk to some people.. Just my opinion like..
Bloke at a firm I used to work for got signed off sick for "stress" after getting a bollocking for being a lazy twat. The day after he went on Facebook telling everyone that it was "carnage" out clubbing where he was on holiday. P45 was out quicker than the mag rioters on derby day...
I can probably give you a dozen scenario's over the years when people were caught skiving long before social media existed, what you get now is a stiff in a suit, built like Rodney Trotter that thinks he's Rocky.. Sad world in my eyes now, all this technology favours me not one bit with a bed bound, seriously disabled CP..
Merseyside Police 'rape joke' tweeter quits force http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-34703375 Following the incident, Jo Wood, from the Merseyside Rape and Sexual Abuse centre, said: "I think it's a real shame. We work closely with Merseyside Police and we've come a long way. "Something like this could set us back years and sends out completely the wrong message.
It's a typical example of what we see on forums like this every day mate ....... ...... people hiding behind the safety of a screen and saying things they wouldn't dare to your face. The same kind of people who 'troll' celebrities etc, and start weeping & wailing when they find themselves in court. They think they live in a consequence free world where they can act the big shot they'd love to be in real life. This will be some office dwelling keyboard basher who thinks working for the police makes them Robocop.
