wanted. cops with no opinions. must be pc.

Question.
Why can’t off duty police logged on to Facebook or Twitter make unkind remarks on what they see? I Don’t understand why they can’t.  OK, some remarks may not be fair.  In this case, I’m sure not all of the ladies were actually “tramps” as described. Perhaps many looked it though.  But what got my attention was another issue where some cops are, “under investigation” for comments about wanting to beat up rioting students and describing a suspected paedophile who flashed at children in a play area as ‘a dirty scum pervert’.

They didn’t say they’d actually beat up anyone. Only that they’d like to.  Is there any cop alive anywhere who wouldn’t like to smack the hell out of some of those grinning, smug stone throwing punks who, ‘know their rights?’ You know the type. You’ve all seen em and many of you would like to take a bat to them yourselves.  Cops who talk that way are an exact mirror of what the public thinks and wishes they would do. And what’s wrong with describing someone who flashed children as perverted scum?  What else are they if not that?  I’m not suggesting we revive the Gestapo but hell, I think the police need to be given some kind of slack.  If authorities find inappropriate behavior and clear breaches of law, that’s one thing.  But holding opinions most of the public also have shouldn’t be cause for investigations.  Should it?  Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I have the wrong slant on things. Alright. If they can’t express what they think between themselves on a social networking site, where would it be okay? In the privacy of their homes?  How about out with the guys for a pint and they get talking among friends and fellow officers. But then are overheard by a hand wringing member of the public. 

As for remarks made about race goers, they see the worst cases of public drinking and bad behavior. And based on photos we’ve seen here and there over time, because those are the pix the papers just love to publish, there’s a bit of truth in the charge they make. 

I’m surprised anyone would want to be a copper these days.

Constable faces inquiry after tirade at Ladies’ Day ‘tramps’
A constable with Merseyside Police is under investigation after launching a tirade against women attending Ladies’ Day at Aintree - accusing them of being heavy drinkers and bad parents.

By Nick Britten

Pc David Crawford took to Facebook to mock the women, calling them “tramps” and accusing them of being cheap and common.
He finished his rant with the words: “Ladies Day - more like Halloween”.

Ladies’ Day at the Liverpool course, held two days before the Grand National, is the most high-profile event of its kind in British horse racing and a highlight of the British fashion calendar.
the day clearly did not go down with Pc Crawford. He wrote: “Enjoy ‘ladies’ day – ladies” before accusing them of being “back to drinkLambrini at 10 in the morning watching Jeremy Kyle whilst shouting the kids ‘Britney and Tyson come down for ya pork scratching breakfast’.”
He went on to comment on the use of “ten quid fake bake tan....smeared all over the place” and ended with: “Tramps! Ladies Day - more like Halloween! Rant over.”
He went on in response to a comment back at him to say it “does me head in”.
Whilst his comments may have been appreciated as a bit of a joke by some of his friends on Facebook, Merseyside police have taken a stronger view and have referred complaints of the outburst to the force’s standards department.
A spokesperson from the force said: “We have been made aware of some comments made on a social networking site by a person who may be a serving police officer about an event.
“The matter has been referred to the Force’s Police Standards Department.

ORF TO THE RACES

Fact is, his statement with regard to fake tans was spot on, as one newspaper published a photo of one lady with her tan running down her back in the rain.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
