Hating the bizzies

[Martin Alvito]

Can I vote "I'm just happy I'm not black and living in the US" please. Their police proper love filling innocent black men full of lead. Our police? Not arsed, don't seem particularly good or bad.

Saw a woman on Monday pulled over for DWB driving a pregnant roller skate. Its top speed could not possibly have been as fast as half of traffic was moving.

But without opening a can of worms, imagine being a Police in America, it really must be a truly terrifying job, even the old ladies getting mugged are strapped.

Not wrong at all, but there are too many bad cops there, including those who refuse to speak out or stop the real bad cops from actively breaking the law.

The gun culture in the US would petrify me if I were a cop there like. You just wouldn't know when somebody would whip their pistol out of their arse pocket.

An old mate of mine is a Traffic Warden, havent seen him for about 30 years now, hes a kopite and hes the fella that murdered a kitten years ago, well not murdered as such, he basically jumped down some stairs right on top of the kitten, total accident and I know, cos we were at the front door when it happened. Horrid day that, but that tells you the type of people who become Traffic Wardens.

Please describe a scenario in which you need the police and they effectively help you, and further, please keep to real life rather than rehashing the plot of one of the countless police dramas from film and television.

I got a talking to one day many years ago about the tow bar on my ute partially blocking the number plate if viewed at a certain angle by a pair of punks in blue on a power trip. It wound them up even more when it was pointed out on the little metal plate on the bar itself saying Ford factory fitted tow bar for some reason. As I'm not a criminal i don't have a problem with them but i do think they are a workforce in this country mired in utter laziness and told to simply meet quotas unfortunately.

Don’t know whether to laugh or just send a like and move on.

Foreign bizzies are the worst though. All eyes on greece. Sorry @marnie

The "don't snitch" nonsense is why housing estates are terrorized by gangs of little rats and people's cars and houses get robbed regularly.
3 houses near ours when I was a kid were robbed. Everyone knew who did it but didn't say a word due to fear of being a snitch and the repercussions that come with that.
Thieves aren't 'one of us' they're the lowest of the low, preying on normal hardworking people.
But FTM I guess...

I've had too many scary times in life to list so here's a few extreme ones.

Went to a fancy dress party in Norris Green, i dressed as a Mexican Bandit and had a great time and afterwards got in a taxi on me own to go home, we drive for a few minutes and the taxi driver gets a phone call from his tart, she's in hospital and is gonna give birth to his first kid so the driver asks if i mind getting out so he can go see his bird and he was gonna blow through for another taxi to get me, being the most heartfelt of Mexican bandits i obliged like.

So i'm standing there on some mad estate in Nogsy waiting for me second taxi when i hear voices and spot they belong to a firm of lads who have noticed a stray mexican on their turf and were now heading in my direction. "where are you from lad?" i was asked, "Mexico LAD" i said, "no ya not lad your obviously scouse, dya live ere like?", "Nah mate i've just been to a party and me taxi's done one". "Giz a go on your sombrero lad", i pulled out me jarg revolver and pointed it at him and said "a bandito never shares his sombrero" obviously intended as a joke i thought. Joke was on me like cause one of them pulled a ****ing handgun out his kecks and points it at me, "mine fires real bullets lad i'll take that sombrero right off ya", i was hoping he was joking round and in case he wasn't i did give him the hat, he was made up with it.

The lad then was running around with me sombrero on pointing the gun at his mates, who were fuming at him so it must've been real, meanwhile i can see a delta aproaching from the distance, salvation at last i thought until it got closer, saw a firm of scallys and a drugged up mexican, spun the car round and ****ed off, BOSS.

"was that your taxi lad?" one asked, "yeah mate", "so how are you getting home where was the party?", "I dno mate and it was at the Broadway club", "heavy that lad". Next thing a Matrix van pulls around the corner and speeds up on us, the scallys started legging it except for the one i was talking to and a fat lad who probably couldn't be arsed, it was amusing like cause the lad with the gun jumped into somebodies garden whilst still wearing his new sombrero. Some of the police jumped out to talk to me and the other lads, and the rest stayed in the van and spun off to try and round up the other lids. I got questioned, searched by a clearly amused officer "So whats a lad from Maghull doing dressed like that round here at this time, i explained briefly what had happened, the busys talk to the other lads and eventually the van comes back and the officers get off, leaving me stranded with two lids i don't know.

"Did you say you're from Maghull lad, that's a stretch on foot that lid?" he asked, "do you know (lads name here), me cousins from here but lives there with his bird now in Maghull?", small world like cause i actually knew his cousin and had bought weed off him a few days earlier. "Tell yer what lad you're a sound fella i'll get you home yanow". A few minutes later, some lad pulls up in an Audi RS4, the driver looked like he was age 14, i didn't need to ask if the car was legit, at this point i couldn't have cared less i just wanted to get home. "Where dya wanna go mate i'll get ya there fast lad, rapid these RS's", i told him to get on the M57 and then i'd direct him.

Despite looking like a little kid, this lad could drive really good, after doing a bit of rallycross around the estate we ended up on the east lancs and then onto a 57, 147 mph we did on the way home, "it can go faster lad but i'd need more road mate". We got to Maghull in no time atall so i got dropped off at the Square, give the lad a tenner for doing a stranger a massive favour and started my walk home whilst trying to digest the nights events.

took me ages typing this up lids so enjoy.

I grew up in the middle of Liverpool 8 through the 70s and 80s too.
I ain't got any love for them and have seen and experienced them at their worst.


Still, i shudder to think what a world without them would be like.

As a person who isn't sometimes seen as White (I have Blue eyes but have been racially assaulted by skinheads) I have to agree with @tommye, growing up in the 80's in L8 the police certainly weren't a force for good to all people.

I hadn’t seen that and I truly think it is THE greatest post ever made on GOT.

I’m in awe. Going back to read it again repeatedly.
