And the police wonder why people don't respect them and say things like "All Coppers Are Bastards".
My last few interactions with the police in Notts have been pretty dumb.
My neighbour was screaming some horrible things to a kid like "you're a cunt" and "you don't deserve to be in my care". I called 111 because I didn't think there was any violence happening but I was worried about the kid and the way they were being treated and said if you need to talk to me, they could ring. They sent out a car, was there for maybe 10 mins then rang me back and said it was fine they were "having an argument about something else", whatever that means. Then I was called an hour later and was told I'd asked to speak to someone. I've no idea where that came from, I didn't, I said they could speak to me if they need to multiple times on the call, unsure how that translated to me wanting to speak to someone higher up.
Time before that, they were out to investigate an argument between two 15 year olds at a local school, they sent out two cars and blocked both my driveway and my neighbours for over 2 hours, and refused to move their cars, even though there was plenty of space that wasn't blocking drive ways, and they spent most of that time stood in front of their cars doing naff all.
The time before that I was punched in the face by some addict being a dickhead, I reported the assault, they called me 3 times to ask me where it happened, I gave street names, they said they couldn't find it and asked if I had any CCTV evidence. I asked if I could send them a link to Google maps as they can't find it and was told they're "not allowed to use Google maps". Why I have to do the investigation for them I don't know.
Notts police are fucking useless unless they're protecting the racist mobs that travel here to march. They also brag on Facebook about busting people for cannabis.
