Please do not use terms like "Policeman" or "Police Woman", instead please use non-gendered terms like "Tool of the Bourgeoises" or "Enemy of the People"

It's a general feeling of mistrust and resentment towards them. Think of it a catharsis

Two of these 'tools' came to the rescue of my elderly mum after a fall last week.

Honestly I expected exactly this result. But it made a few people laugh, so it was worth it.

I'm sure they're tough enough to handle a bit of name calling on the internet.

I was brought up to believe that courtesy is automatic, respect is earned. I'm not sure police forces have earned respect, and I'm sure I'd feel stronger about that if not for my inherent privilege.

Young people are taught respect fine, the problem is more and more people don't realise they have to earn it and not just demand it.

Because so many young people are moronic and glued to social media (living in echo chambers ) in my experience of interacting with them , or full of entitled behaviour.

Well plenty of those around Swindon are quite in this camp

No, what the real problem is what's seen in the news and on social media is labelled against every single person in those professions by people that are classed as adults.

You cannot label every single one of them as a "wrong un" because of the actions of a few of them.

And thats clearly what people are doing.

Yes exactly what I was going to say .. There's bad ones in every organisation and its unfair to label the entire force as untrustworthy..

Not that it matters as it was only a " joke "

No, because I have more common sense and a brain in my head to not need to say anymore.

People need to stop living off social media and putting everyone else down because of what they believe to be true!

Nope I am using the "The institution is demonstrably corrupt, racist, transphobic, homophobic and all around bigoted, even if there are good people that work there" approach.

Why can't it work both ways? Why cant you criticise the establishment and the bad parts of it while acknowledging some are good.

Why does it have to be that you cannot criticise because there are good people?

Every last one of them. I am surprised you felt the need to clarify, I have been pretty clear in my disdain for the institution. I however didn't really mention real people within it, just a hypothetical person or two in the original joke.

That is why I wasn't wrong and you were. I never actually said there was no-one good in the police.

You imagined that up all by yourself.

No one would suggest that the police are perfect by any means, but it’s a shame that the actions of a few tarnish the reputation of the many.

I couldn’t imagine some of the situations they have to deal with and the sights they must see.

The police are one of those professions that are easy to criticise and disparage until you actually need them.

Every last one of them. I am surprised you felt the need to clarify, I have been pretty clear in my disdain for the institution. I however didn't really mention real people within it, just a hypothetical person or two in the original joke.

That is why I wasn't wrong and you were. I never actually said there was no-one good in the police.

You imagined that up all by yourself.

Yep, guilt by association..clap trap…"

Your words, not mine. you are making the all or nothing, not me...

My friend said to me 'The Tory party is just cuts after cuts after cuts!'

I told him 'You're one letter off.'

"Or Police Officer like they're called.

But what we want and what we get are really not the same thing Dreamy

Neither is calling them "tools" when you don't know them surely?

It's a general feeling of mistrust and resentment towards them. Think of it a catharsis

Were you not brought up to respect them? Or at least not give them any grief?

Not many seem to be taught respect anymore from a young age.

Young people are taught respect fine, the problem is more and more people don't realise they have to earn it and not just demand it.

No, what the real problem is what's seen in the news and on social media is labelled against every single person in those professions by people that are classed as adults.

You cannot label every single one of them as a "wrong un" because of the actions of a few of them.

And thats clearly what people are doing.

are you genuinely trying the "one bad apple" defence?

Are you genuinely trying the “ everyone is guilty by association” prosecution?

Nope I am using the "The institution is demonstrably corrupt, racist, transphobic, homophobic and all around bigoted, even if there are good people that work there" approach.

Why can't it work both ways? Why cant you criticise the establishment and the bad parts of it while acknowledging some are good.

Why does it have to be that you cannot criticise because there are good people?

Your answer is yes then… try reading what you just wrote and go by your own rules.

I cannot stop you from being wrong

Aaah you are moving the goal posts... common tactic for those who cannot make their original argument.

You are right I mistakenly said I hadnt said anything about individuals, I should have clarified I was talking about this thread.

Regardless you original assertion was I was using a dislike of the institution as a cover for disliking the individuals. You couldn't prove that so you moved the argument to where you could be "technically" correct.

Someone said earlier that young people have respect - not sure what age range they were using for "young people". Baseline dependent, young people don't have the same level of respect of previous generations. The Children's Charter (which is a good idea) teaches children what they are entitled- with which I agree. However it falls short, in that it does not tell them what THEIR responsibilities are. You can see how this goes.....

in regards to respect I bumped into my old English teacher recently and I still addressed him as sir I have massive respect for my employer as he’s been good towards me in regards to my health at the moment he’s been brilliant in helping me to do my job he didn’t have to he could of just said on ya bike so I’m my opinion I owe him respect

I think I am. As soon as you say that, it suddenly because about your political leaning and people get primal as fuck trying to defend their side. It's almost like saying "It doesn't matter if I agree with you on this, I'm on this and you're on that side so I'm going to argue my case regardless".

Like I said my recollection is about last week and a lot has happened since then.

Perhaps I should expand on what I said. I see respect and courtesy as linked but not the same. I think upon meeting someone you should (not always easy I know) show them courtesy. But proper respect is earned over time.

Demanding it is a sure fire way to lose it if you haven't earned it. But thats just how I think

It is a shame, especially when some of those same voices espouse the right to have differing opinions and people should be ok with that.

I agree, they're not. But it's a joke, after all and it's not going to land with everyone so wouldn't it be better to just pass the thread by and that way, you wouldn't be so angry with it

"I wonder if this thread would've caused as much controversy had the term "leftist" been left out and it was just a joke about the police.

Yes it would have because it is still disrespectful to label ALL police officers the same which is what was said at the start.

They are not all the same!

You are welcome to that opinion, and I am sure I will never see you make a generalisation on this forum ever."

This is what I struggle with. Fact isn’t opinion. Two different things. Too many people can’t grasp that.

I was stating that it was opinion that I was labelling all police under the same brush, not that labelling all under one brush was disrespectful.

Say what you like, you are the one that needs to realise not everyone in this world is the same as those people that have no disregard for anyone else.

It is not fact what you are saying.

Listen to that point and you wouldn't have such negative views against people you don't know.

I have no negative views against you, but you probably do towards me for no valid reason.

I'll be honest, I didn't think people cared about the police that much. They're there, they do a job and that's it, maybe it's my own ignorance in that I've never been negatively affected by them but I had thought more people were focused on the political side of it, more than the joke itself

Or you don't see the thread as political. Which is fair, a lot of people with right leanings don't see right wing ideas as political, they see them as ideas they agree with.

I almost always (I would guess 80-90% ) post on political threads. And we do converse at least semi-regularly.

"Or Police Officer like they're called.

But what we want and what we get are really not the same thing Dreamy

Neither is calling them "tools" when you don't know them surely?

It's a general feeling of mistrust and resentment towards them. Think of it a catharsis

Were you not brought up to respect them? Or at least not give them any grief?

Not many seem to be taught respect anymore from a young age.

Young people are taught respect fine, the problem is more and more people don't realise they have to earn it and not just demand it.

No, what the real problem is what's seen in the news and on social media is labelled against every single person in those professions by people that are classed as adults.

You cannot label every single one of them as a "wrong un" because of the actions of a few of them.

And thats clearly what people are doing.

Yes exactly what I was going to say .. There's bad ones in every organisation and its unfair to label the entire force as untrustworthy..

Not that it matters as it was only a " joke " "

It was really funny too. So it's all OK.

No that's not how it works, the fact you seem to think thats how I think it works is baffling.

When a group makes jokes about those who oppress them or hold power over them, that is punching up.

It is bad when you punch down. To those who are marginalised oppressed, and/or underrepresented in society, it isn't a difficult concept.

Exactly what would the police do? Come round after it had all happened, ask a few questions, go away and 95% of time say they couldn't solve it?

I would only call the police so I could file the report with the insurance company

No I don’t shield them from deserved criticism.

Comedy theory… you mean someone’s opinion of comedy.

Try fact based constructive criticism not insults and innuendo..

I mean the Soviet Union and East Germany were pretty 'leftist' and I'd argue their police were a lot more a tool of the state and did a lot more harm to the average person then ours do. Also find it weird how many apparent lefties talk about defending the police. Cutting spending on a public service is literally one of the most tory policies you could adopt. Yeh let's put over 200k, mainly working-class, people out of work. I think the police are definitely deserving of a bit of ridicule sometimes and there is a few problems instutionally, but overall they're a much more positive force for our society than a negative one. I think the most offensive thing about this joke was that it wasn't funny and sounds like something a sixth-form student who's just read Das Capital would say in the common room, whilst wearing beret

"Please do not use terms like "Policeman" or "Police Woman", instead please use non-gendered terms like "Tool of the Bourgeoises" or "Enemy of the People"

Should Billy Burglar take it upon himself to let himself into your house and “liberate” you of some of your possessions, make sure you show the police this post so you get the service you deserve.

Exactly what would the police do? Come round after it had all happened, ask a few questions, go away and 95% of time say they couldn't solve it?

I would only call the police so I could file the report with the insurance company

"

Quite. The ONS website shows that less than 10% of reported thefts resulted in a charge or summons in 2021.

I'll not be holding my breath.

I wonder how some people expect the police to do their job while not supporting them or providing any input to help them enforce and maintain law and order. They aren't supermen. I'm no fan but a the same time I recognise they can only be effective if we are all part of keeping law and order rather than fighting them incessantly. Feels a bit like the NUS from the 70a.

If you want constructive criticism, start a thread for it.

Not moving the goalposts are you..?? To quote you again.

You call it a joke thread I call it an insult thread..

Still not a constructive criticism thread

It was a suggestion that constructive criticism may serve you better than insults.

You clearly prefer the latter..

Give it a rest now.

It was posted as a joke, you took offence and have since been pecking and pecking, trying to make it something it isn't.

You are bordering on bullying.

Why are you so triggered?

Am I bullying or being bullied… no difference..

I took issue with a post well into the thread…

Regardless, your antics here are quite disturbing.

Just won't let go, keep repeating the same thing over.

Determined to beat her opinion down and feel you are correct.

It was posted as a joke, this has been expressed over and over, yet you won't let go.

You don't have to appreciate the joke, but your reaction here is the bigger problem.

Definitely smells of bullying.

Why am I the bully and not the other way round???

And regardless of what..??"

Diverting, well isn't that a surprise.

I explained why I see your reaction as bullying.

It was a joke, you took offence, get over it.

Ah,,, now are those your opinions again or facts…

If it sits well with you it’s fine if it doesn’t fit with your beliefs it’s not.

I call it hypocrisy.

Think what you like, i was quoting comedy theory, it right there on google. But if you think it is ok to shield an organisation that has committed awful things from jokes, just because they are the police... wow

No I don’t shield them from deserved criticism.

Comedy theory… you mean someone’s opinion of comedy.

Try fact based constructive criticism not insults and innuendo..

Now who is a hypocrite, you have offered nothing but your opinion

I have never stated otherwise, you are the one who keeps quoting what is factual..

You know I never stated it was anything other than my opinion either?

Only time I mentioned fact even remotely close to what you are suggesting was when I joked:

"The fact you think jokes about the police and homophobic/racist/Islamophobic/transphobic/etc jokes are even remotely equivalent is the funniest thing in this thread"

You are putting words in my mouth

No I can see two more facts in there again.

I am challenging your opinion with my opinion.

Diverting what exactly..??

Take it in the context of comments made in the US shooting thread and you’ll see it as no joke..

"I wonder how some people expect the police to do their job while not supporting them or providing any input to help them enforce and maintain law and order. They aren't supermen. I'm no fan but a the same time I recognise they can only be effective if we are all part of keeping law and order rather than fighting them incessantly. Feels a bit like the NUS from the 70a.

I'm in support of the police force and appreciate how far stretched and underfunded they've become.

But I can see a joke for what it is."

Of course it's a joke! The op is clearly pointing out the stupidity of leftists who think that every bobby on the beat is a lackey of the bourgeoisie or an enemy of the people, and don't really know about the actual work they do. She realises what thickos leftists are and is gently poking fun at them. Hilarious, and so true. Good one, OP - let's have more

I genuinely cannot remember the last time I saw such a great example of snowflake behaviour. You don't like how I view the police. Tough, Get Over It

I suggested you are coming across as a bully, you turned that away from you, diverting.

You just won't let go until you feel you've won.

You've said nothing new for a while, only repeated the same nonsense over and over, even when it's been responded to.

I clearly do not see them as insults. They are pointed jokes against an institution deserving of pointed jokes.

It is also clear I am not going to change my mind on this based on your argument.

It is your right to think otherwise.

What mroe do you want?"

Ah, so now you admit it wasn't actually a joke, rather a virtue signalling pseudo-political viewpoint. Noted

I admit nothing. The joke was a Joke, my views in the other thread were not.

I notice you missed out the part of your quote where you say "You don't like how I view the police". Nice try

That doesn't change whether something is a joke or not, both can be true.

As much as I would love to continue this fascinating discourse, I have an early tee time tomorrow. With my Chief Inspector brother-in-law. Toodle pip old girl, keep fighting the good fight.
