Dig at the police - Sorry

[Admiral Huddy]

I've always admired and backed the police 100% but I'm starting to loose my confidence in them tbh (Sorry Von, Pebs and co.)

About 12 years ago, I was leaving the railway station and was racing for a cab, when this bloke pushed me and I fell down a flight of stairs hitting my head at the bottom. As I got up I did hit him, and he then pinned me down on the floor blood gashing out of my head.. Just as he pinned me down, a shoved two fingers very hard up his nostrils breaking his nose in the process... he then pulled out his badge and i was arrested for Assault and Affray. Not something I'm very proud of. I was later released on bail without charge to receive 6 stitches above my eye.

6 weeks later, all charges were dropped due to no witnesses and the PC having a reputation for this in the past. I got an apology from the Essex Police. After seeking legal advice, i was told just to let it go because of insufficient evidence.

A few years after that, an ex-friend of mine joined the police for a power buzz and actually goes out in town looking for trouble for a similar opportunity.

Anyway, the other night I was on the way home on my new bike, turning right at a mini-round-bout. I stopped behind the white lane giving way to traffic to my right, when a bloke pulled up beside my and started hurling *s and *s, saying i was a **** for blocking his view. As far a I knew, I wasn't in the wrong. I ignored him but the abuse just carried on. Just as i was about to pull-away, he attempted to get out of his car. I said, "If you really have a problem then don't let me stop you". On when the abuse .. then he got back in the car after a brief exchange of words.. Obviously his plan wasn't working.. so he then pulled out a police badge. I said, " put it away there's a good chap, because you look really ugly in that picture". He then drove off. I guess he expected me to throw a punch at some point which never came and he knew he couldn't either.

I know there some of you who are members of the police and you are not all the same but at 42 I could really do without all this grief. I've never stepped outside of the law and don't appreciate police bullys who are obviously abusing their power when off duty.
