Immature kids who shout “pig’s”, I can put up with.
People who argue over tickets “I’ve only been here I minute”, I can deal with.
These are all everyday occurrences and ones that although they can be slightly irritating, do not make my job nasty.
A 16-year-old who is pregnant with her second kid and has been slapped around.
Indecent pictures of children.
Elderly people who’ve been robbed.
These are the things that get me down.

Very true, but wouldnt that be solved by legalisation?
www.crimelibrary.com
It has all the details on many, many crimes. Until I read it on there, I'd only heard here-say and conjecture on what they did to him.
I'm not a macabré person or anything, I just try as hard as I can to understand why people do these sort of things. As yet I am still drawing a blank, and I suppose I should be happy about that.
In my opinion those two should have been put down like viscious dogs would be. It sickens me to the core that they now live the life of VIP's.

You are most likely right but it is still my decision. I dont think a police officer has the right to tell me to wear one as this decision does not affect anyone else but me, and I see this as the basic idea of freedom? I am just using this as an example that SOME police officers have their priorities wrong and let power go to their head. I had no intention to turn this into an anit-police discussion :)

With all sorts of perks.
That's a story that has disgusted me for many years.
You're talking about the Jamie Bulger case, yes?
His father is still hunting them down, and swears he'll kill them if he finds them.

Fair enough, I wasn't serious about giving them a kicking, it was just some indulgent fantasy - you've got to hate people who make it unsafe for your children to play outdoors, like they should be able to.
Of course I really believe they should be punished properly, but that's the thing, our justice system is so full of political correctness and red tape, that people are scared to punish people properly these days.
And I really don't think prison is effective enough a deterrant. It breeds criminals.
i stress the word merely to massively.

Actually, what would be anarchy? Something like Haiti, where gangs go along and kill anyone who does not agree with them.
Hmmm. Vigilante or what?

Why don't you wear a seatbelt? I personally think it is idiocy.
