I can't be the only one who doesn't see a problem with the post?

Very good. Truth hurts and i imagine that this is life for a local bobby. Knowing a couple of policeman and their humour i imagine that the dig at the PCSO's is nothing more than good natured banter of which they are all in on and give as good as they get.

Still, (sighing heavily in resignation that this will not end well), someone not connected at all with anyone involved has taken offence. Standard for today.

Obviously that particular force cannot be too strapped for cash if it can afford to waste time investigating a tongue in cheek post. It is actually political correctness gone mad! LOL

That was really quite amusing.

I think it's a great post.

My local police force are useless. My daughter had her mobile phone stolen from college together with around 6 of her friends. It was captured on cctv and the person identified. A week later the police paid her a visit only after my wife had helped them to locate the individual. We expected her to be immediately arrested..................no they told her why they had paid her a visit and asked her to report at the station 7 days later.
No doubt she will have disposed of any evidence by then, got a credible story together and the case will be dropped due to lack of evidence.
Fortunately we have the thief's name and address so justice will be done one way or another.

Was the phone returned?
And what about the six or so friends? Have they been found yet?

Not yet BBJ, they have basically given her a week to dispose of any evidence.

Police aren't meant to have social media profiles so that might why this is being investigated. If it was done officially they would also have to look into it as that would be one officers opinion not the position of the force (Not officially)

Doesn't mean he will get any disciplinary action and it's a bit overblown that it's being reported really.

The wonders of social mesia eh?..... I found it quite amusing actually. It goes to show some of em are actually human...Lol

The police group on Facebook should have been a "Closed Group" if it was then the police officer is in my humble opinion allowed amongst his peers allowed to post funny and ironic stuff.

The fact that it found its way into the public domain is sad and if one of his fellow officers reposted it then he/she is a shit bag.
