Not guilty but fired eh.

I think the point being made is that it doesn't matter to sooey who has the more dangerous job and is more likely to be killed doing it.

As for who goes to work every day in the knowledge that people want to kill them, I reckon an infantryman in Afghan has it worst.

 

[sooey]

You miss the point entirely then.
This thread was about police, not soldiers.
People who work in the community every day, and without whom we would all be a lot worse off.
No one is saying that they are all perfect, but for joe90 to dismiss their job as a "doddle" and an "easy life spent mainly in the tuck shop" shows his stupidity. And that was most certainly rammed home by the terrible killings of those two young women yesterday.
That was the point being made. Would you like to argue against it?

This thread was about...

...Not guilty but fired eh.

It was about someone losing their job for being found out behaving in a completely unacceptable way, even though they had not been sent to prison for it.

If you want to introduce the idea that people are entitled to be violent thugs, provided that some other people doing a similar job lose their lives at work, then that will be an entirely different discussion.

That is not the point you were trying to make in your previous post though is it?

You were assigning a completely false viewpoint to me.
Don't do it again if you please, or I'll have to pull you up about it again.

A building site worker is killed weekly. Which has the higher mortality rate? Police or builder? Which is the most dangerous job huh? Well?

No building site worker has ever gone to work in the certain knowledge that there are people who he may well deal with that day, who would like to see him dead, or badly hurt.
You are a sad little man.

To Sooey it doesn't matter that there are lots of other people doing more dangerous jobs, it only matters to him if they are policemen.

Is that better?

 

[sooey]

To johnd

No, it isn't better.
Are you presuming to speak for joe90 now as well as me?
And where did I say it matters that there are others doing more dangerous jobs?

 

[JohnD]

You didn't

You brushed aside the fact that there are lots of people doing more dangerous jobs.

Just as you brushed aside that the fact there are other people who are in more danger of being attacked and killed.

You're very happy to bring in these points as long as they're about police, but dismiss them otherwise.

 

[sooey]

I also brushed aside the fact that astronauts and base jumpers do far more dangerous things.
Why did I do that?
Would it be because they weren't relevant to the point that me and joe were discussing?

 

[sooey]

I also brushed aside the fact that giraffes have long necks.

 

[JohnD]

Have you decided then that the danger of a person's job is relevant to whether or not they should be sacked for assaulting an old man peacefully going about his business in a public street, and trying to make his way home?

Or did you choose to introduce the concept of some jobs being more dangerous than others for some reason irrelevant to the question at the top of the page?

 

[sooey]

In the meantime I'm still waiting for an answer from joe90 as to whether he still thinks that being a copper is a doddle given the events that happened on the very morning he posted it.

Would you have the bottle to do their job? (he wouldn't)

It's an easy life spent mainly in the tuck shop.

Then you retire early on health grounds.

It would be a doddle.

Obviously your comprehension in't too good.
If you read the thread I introduced the concept of POLICING being a dangerous job to joe90 because he was generally dissing the job.
Nowhere have I commented on Harwood as to whether or not he should have been sacked or prosecuted. Obviously the answer to both is yes.

Yes. By and large it is a doddle. A very safe job. Few die whilst on duty.

Its not just about people dying, on average, a police officer is attacked resulting in injury every hour.

I've been injured a few times by the police, one mate lost his front teeth, my brother received 64 stitches on the head and cracked ribs because of the horses, totally innocent.
the stitches were due to the police dog chain, when examined, the chain which had blood on was there from the manufactor and therefore animal blood ... yeah right, they deserve everything they get.
