If I hear another person tell me, or say that a (CEW) aka a taser is an appropriate use of force for someone armed with a sword or an edged weapon. I’m going to loose my mind. In 12 years of being armed with both, a taser, and a firearm, a taser was never, and would never be…

This is an awful incident. I’m once again left thinking that police officers should be appropriately armed to defend themselves and the public from knife attacks. news.met.police.uk/news/update-st…
My statement on the incident in Hainault this morning.
This is an inaccurate headline that will only fuel community concerns. The decision to cover the memorial was taken by park authorities, not the police. As the paper’s own article makes clear, it is a precaution Royal Parks have taken for a number of different events.
Ok let’s talk about desensitisation…👀 I don’t know how many sudden deaths I’ve been to. I can’t tell you how many dead bodies I’ve seen. That’s not a normal thing to say is it? (⚠️ Health warning for the rest of this post. ⚠️) But that’s my job. As a Response Cop and now…

An update following this morning’s incident with Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment horses in London. Three of our soldiers are being treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Our horses are also safe, and are undergoing veterinary care. (1/2)
Good to hear @NotThatBigIan on @BBCRadio4 discussing the sorry state of the prison system. Great interview, Ian. Looking forward to reading the book #screwed
Astonishing interview. The @reformparty_uk policy would be to let migrants drown rather than save them. Even @JuliaHB1 seems more rational than @benhabib6 These people are apparently attracting 15% of the vote. 🤯 youtu.be/7Ik-WDwdf1g?si…

@__theskipper__ I don't think with current standards we would be able to upfit every officer with a firearm. So much would have to change like fitness standards, medical standards even colour vision standards could mean losing thousands of cops which we can't afford
If I hear another person tell me, or say that a (CEW) aka a taser is an appropriate use of force for someone armed with a sword or an edged weapon. I’m going to loose my mind. In 12 years of being armed with both, a taser, and a firearm, a taser was never, and would never be…
5 people have been stabbed in hainault by a man holding a sword. A 36 year old man has been arrested.
@__theskipper__ Agree, but in the 1st instance L2 training is quicker and the Shields option is quicker to role out and it's a start imo.
@Tonymay1269074 @__theskipper__ Do what the most of the rest of the world do - sidearms for routine patrol - it doesn’t affect policing by consent - it’s normal.
@__theskipper__ Absolutely heartbreaking for that child’s family and people involved. I hope the officers surgeries go well and as always thank them for running into danger.
Business as usual for the uniformed cannon fodder. Unarmed police intervening to save life whilst risking their own. The usual platitudes of bravery and heroism will follow from MP’s and the media. Yet they are responsible to the decimated service & diminishing public confidence
Police and emergency services are in Hainault at a serious incident in which a man with a sword has been arrested. Read and share our latest update below. We do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the wider community - this incident does not appear to be terror-related.
My statement on the incident in Hainault this morning.
@__theskipper__ @GBNEWS Perfect guest for GB News, then
@GBNEWS Factually wrong - Lord Mann confirmed he advised & article confirms a Royal Parks decision. His knowledge & experience of policing marches is virtually non - existent. I doubt he has worked on one since the 70's. Appalling commentator. Counter protest/opposition yesterday 👍
@BenGoldsmith A university education was the right of the ruling class, they never did get over the emancipation of the universities.
@__theskipper__ @LozzaFox "coz you fucking ain't" 😂 Imagine how much effort it takes, to move that silver spoon to be able to imitate "a man of the people" 🤦♂😂
Ok let’s talk about desensitisation…👀 I don’t know how many sudden deaths I’ve been to. I can’t tell you how many dead bodies I’ve seen. That’s not a normal thing to say is it? (⚠️ Health warning for the rest of this post. ⚠️) But that’s my job. As a Response Cop and now…

@SinEatersGuild @__theskipper__ @InspGadgetBlogs What's really making them leave is all the issues highlighted in this thread. It's no one thing in my experience, but whilst we don't join for the money, experienced officers have suffered a real terms pay cut of at least 17% in the last decade.
@__theskipper__ @InspGadgetBlogs Very difficult to watch as an outsider.
A rail service does not need to make money for shareholders, it needs to provide a service for customers. As long as any revenue goes back into the service, this policy has a chance.
🚨JUST ANNOUNCED: Labour will create Great British Railways. Under Labour our railways will be: ✅Publicly owned ✅Passenger focused ✅Fit for the future Only Labour has a plan to get our trains back on track: labour.org.uk/get-britain-mo…
@__theskipper__ @InspGadgetBlogs Feels correct. From speaking to people in job now, it seems a lot of inexperienced officers being pushed through beyond what most are able to cope with. This is as unfair to them as it is to the public who expect them to be capable.
@__theskipper__ @InspGadgetBlogs I've heard stories of officers not long out of training themselves, in supervisory/mentorship positions for those on probation. You can see why this happens with manpower shortages, but it's got to be contributing to how the public see the police.
