Police officer 'sent racist text and contacted prostitutes'
Pc Christian Fereday, 44, drove a police car to some of his appointments, with two of the six waxing sessions taking place during the lockdowns of November 2020 and March 2021.www.dailymail.co.uk
Reminds me of this
This is more about the courts than the police but meh... might as well put it in here:
Good news on the part of the police to be fair, Abdu-whatever got on a train and assaulted a 13-year-old girl then was immediately detained by plainclothes officers... bad news is he's been sentenced to 18 months, which in the UK (AFAIK) can actually mean as little as only 9 months in reality... for assaulting a 13-year-old!
Maybe it was a low down the scale in terms of seriousness (relatively) and maybe it was his first offence or something? Oh... wait:
Three previous convictions, out on license for one of them and "apparently ran an internet forum on which... men boasted about sexually assaulting women" WTF????
I think after three separate sexual offenses they ought to be able to consider chemical castration... or at least a sentence more like 18 years reduced to 9 years rather than 18 months! FFS!

Almost as bad as this case:

It seems some police are using tazers like guns.
The police officer thought his life was in danger from a 95 year old woman using a walking frame who had a knife, in a care home.
He must have thought it was impossible to disarm her.
Now she's in critical condition.
It's a pathetic over reaction to an old woman.
When I was in the 'special schools ' system here there were strong 17yo boys with brain damage who would sometimes go out of control attacking people and smashing things up. Most of the teachers and care assistants were women. They were fearless in getting those situations under control, even if on one occasion one female teacher got a broken nose.
So I'm looking at this incident from that background.
What the hell is happening in this world these days!?

Aussie police have been getting heavy handed the past few years, I remember a video doing the rounds during covid where they were choking out a 14 year old girl for not wearing a mask. Just goes to show that every country has **** coppers.It seems some police are using tazers like guns.

Tasering a 95 year old with dementia is outrageous.

The Ausies do have guns so no they arent using them like guns they are using them instead of restraint.

So that's outrageous but an 11 year old with developmental illness(s) is fine?
Yes, a 95 year old is frail and weak, Dementia means they literally are not in control of their actions. The 11 year old fully understood the instructions and was physically capable of hurting someone with the knife.
Absolutely. Does a claimed developmental illness make wielding a knife less dangerous? I'll give you a clue, no, no it doesn't.
Both are shoot first and ask questions later.

She was also 5ft 2 and weighed less than a hundred pounds.
So tiny in addition to being frail.
Well, why do you need to disarm a 95 year old dementia patient? You can essentially just slowly walk backwards, they present no threat, you'll disarm them just by having patience and waiting them out. Then you ensure they don't have access to any knives, just like you would any patient in a secure unit.

They have batons, training and experience. If she's 5"2 and that old she'll have no range, strength or quickness. Smash her knife hand and turn her.
Alternative is clear the room and then de-escalate. Risk of self-harm is an issue with this.
If you can't get a knife off a 92 year old, seven stone woman without a taser, you'll have real problems dealing with a grown man who is non-compliant.
