Should On-Duty Police Officers Decorate Themselves In Such A Way?

[anotheoldgit]

Recently British Muslim social and political activist Anjem Choudary questioned a police officer about a HELP FOR HEROES wristband that he was wearing.

I wonder what he would have to say about this.

/I wonder how grumpy you would be seeing a policeman posing with his arm around Nigel Farage's shoulder?/

You're right I'm now ***** enraged,frothing at the mouth,sweating profusely, my heart is 200 bpm and I have 43 windows of social media platforms open and boy are the world going to know about it!

/// Some still need the support of others and events like Pride to encourage themselves to come out. ///

Is this what you call "coming out"?

Or this? Notice he is not wearing a seat belt, but all the police can do is laugh.

Broseph...apparently that shot of Farage being escorted by the Policeman was because he is mobbed wherever he goes...he is his own worst enemy, being so terribly popular. The Police are there to protect him from his adoring fans !

Who would no doubt lick him to death in admiration

[mikey4444]

Broseph...I recall that on one of the few times Farage had ventured north of the border, he had to take refuge in a Pub ( how convenient ! ) just to get away from the adoring hoards !

[mikey4444]

Hordes even.

[Broseph]

He has a face and a party only a mother would love.

[mikey4444]

Toad of Toad Hall !

[dannyk13]

If any officer had decorated his face like that I can imagine a few inspectors going apoplectic

Grow up.

[Broseph]

anotheoldgit Have you answered on the connection between tourists mocking and assaulting the guard to this story or have we swept it under the rug and shiftily ran away from the question?

/// By the way, congratulations on not bringing Muslims into his thread....
your restraint is admirable ! ///

Wake up mikey you have not been paying attention.

*** With that kind of thinking, perhaps they should also black-up to prove they have no problem with blacks or perhaps the female officers should wear a Niqab to prove that they have no problems with Muslims? ***

Coming from you AOG, that is very funny indeed !

And I echo Brosephs question....just what is the connection please ? Its not immediately apparent !

[Broseph]

Mikey it appears the "newshound" has sunk his teeth into your ankles and will not away however much I try to sway his diversion with my "truth bone"

[Broseph]

Well I have a Bbq to organise. If the op ever makes a connection then I'll look into it later otherwise maybe the op should ask the mediators here move his post to the "riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma cryptic connection" section.

Good day all.

/// What an odd thing to say. I've been there at the carnvial and have heard positive comments from goers regarding the police joining in and breaking down barriers. People saying things like "I wish they were all like this" and "Who knew the beast could have fun" so if this reestablishes ties to the communities who like I said have once seen them as a cold heartless machine then this is better for community spirit and helps the long plan. ///

/// Would you and the op hoped that they would have smacked their battons across the mouths of any dancers who dared dance with them instead with a oneliner as "Don't touch us WE ARE THE LAAAAAW?" ///

Wasn't it you who typed this, well perhaps the tourist would have seen the guardsman not as a "cold heartless machine" if the guardsman had joined in his joviality?

Much better than jabbing him with his bayonet, with the words "Don't touch us WE ARE THE GUARD?"

See it is so much easy if you pay attention.

[anotheoldgit]

I make no apology for those who are a little slow on the uptake.
