Manx Bean Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 For me, the bottom line is that two members of the public - of whom the Constabulary are paid to protect - were not only let down, but also ridiculed on social media. OK, an apology has been issued, but it shouldn’t have been needed in the first place. As previous comments have said, the use of social media by such a public agency shouldn’t be accessible to any old pillock to use for their own entertainment. If these were my daughters and they were humiliated like this, I’d be down the station giving the Chief Constable a piece of my mind. But respect to the two young ladies who called them out on their unacceptable behaviour. OK, you could argue the girls may have been naive, but that it not illegal or worthy of humiliation by PC plod. Dickhead. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That also makes you somewhat vulnerable and worthy of special care, IMO. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope both parties ( girls and police ) do learn lessons from this. As for smartarses suggesting that the girls should have said they had some weed in the car to get a better response, hopefully they will grow up a bit too. The person, who in another thread, tries to belittle the Haka, for a reaction, says "grow up". And what are YOUUUUUU smoking? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the absolute pinnacle for Facebook wannabes - reality tv photo-shoot: I would say, un-cynically, that the person in that photo is desperate to be in the new tv show "Best little police force in the UK".
