999 What Is Your Emergency

[jennyjoan]

I only seen above programme for the first time last night.

Terrible grisly state of affairs that police have to intercept.

Also misunderstandings like the deaf man who was misinterpreted against children.

I have always said that when deaf people sign language it looks eerie to speaking persons.

I agree jenny.
I watch most of the police programmes, and some of the stuff that they have to put up with, I wouldn't have the patience for.

What annoys me most, is after all the time they have to spend sorting out trouble, taking verbal abuse whether it be assaults, drunks, shop lifters, domestics, robbery etc, is at the end of the programme they tell you that most have been given a small fine, let off with a warning, or just released.

And also they are released etc because there is far too much "paperwork" and the cops don't want to do it. Know this from a friend's son who actually left the police because of the paperwork.
