Reports that assaults on Police, and not by Police, have tripled in the last five years. That means that that there have been three times as many attacks on the Boys and Girls in blue. What is going o here guys. It's all over the news

They've lost all respect. I have my views on why, which I'm sure will differ to others.

The people that want protecting and would instantly run to the police when in need also think they are above the police and don’t need them

Or

The police are working harder to apprehend criminals who've been getting it all their own way but don't like it when they are treated heavy handily then attack the police.

A symptom of police losing both respect and consent from the wider public I suspect. Some (hello Met) are acting more like a paramilitary security outfit than police. They’ve got work to do to earn trust back.

I’d imagine given mobile phones and the fact as soon as police are involved in anything the mobile phone brigade are out, and the fact they all have bodycams…… not many abuse powers. There will be a percentage as weirdly I’m sure they are humans, and as we know there are good and bad in all walks of life. So let’s put the shoe on the other foot, bad doctors who take drugs or bad nurses who take drugs etc. Do they deserve to be assaulted for doing their job? Regardless of their recreational activities/professional practices , I say no they don’t and therefore police don’t either. Let police strike like other industries and let’s see what happens over a 72 hour period. I’ll sit back and watch it unfold me and laugh at the haters that all of a sudden cry as they are burgled, assaulted or much worse!!

In 2021-22, around 41,000 assaults were recorded against officers in the UK.

Tell me anyone else who gets assaulted more not because of who they are but because of the job they do.

If there were 41,000 assaults on any particular race or religion in a year there would be a national outcry and demands that something should be done.

Then again, these are just people trying to protect us and it is there job to be assaulted every day.. isn't it?

They’ve lost a lot of the public’s trust and respect lately.

Truth be told, I put the blame squarely on the Met Police, the largest police force in the UK, for the destruction of trust.

I think this is indicative of a wider and more general lack of respect within British society amongst a significant proportion of the population

Because there's more criminal and individuals that think it's better to report that criminals have been hurt rather than jail

Unfortunately there are alot of police who are doing wrong and it's giving the rest of them a bad name

A few years ago I witnessed a woman getting beaten by a guy with his mate standing watching, a known street in Southampton frequented by drug addicts.

I was doing a fencing job on a house next to where the attack was going on I'd been to my van to get some more tools as I approached I could see it happening, before I had a chance to do anything two plain clothed police officers who had been patrolling the area ran up and dragged the guy off the screaming woman.

Hey presto his mate suddenly decided he was a decent person despite watching his mate beat up a woman, pulled his phone out of his pocket and started recording the arrest, shouting claims of police brutality and getting up in the way of the police.

He ended up getting arrested for obstruction lol.

So don't assume that you know the whole story when someone decides to record an arrest after the act.

What was funny/pathetic was the guy doing the beating started crying like a little baby as soon as he was arrested.

Two minutes before his was giving it Charlie big potatoes in front of his mate.

And the fact we have created a society where people don't like being told "no" giving a sense of entitlement and arrogance thinking they are above the law.

So when they do come in contact with the police they kick off.

And let's be honest it's a known tactic by criminals to claim police brutality to try to get out of a conviction particularly at the moment where everyone is crying foul at every opportunity.

Well that's not what I am referring to I'm referring to the police officers who actually do harm to the public.

Why?"

Because the Met is one of the oldest police forces in the UK, they should be setting the standard for others across the UK, but they’ve proven time & time again that incompetence is rewarded and those wanting to do good are thrown to the wolves.

The recent issues that have come to light within the Met are doubly horrific and instead of it being dealt with under Cressida Dick’s tenureship, she gave it to someone else and brushed it under the carpet.

Is this referring to assaults outside of the arrest, or assaults including the arrest? Because I can imagine that while arresting someone, most officers will be assaulted at least once a year.

In my job and in life. I have some experience of why this is.

They complain about the lack of respect and help from the public.

However this is a result of the way they treat those they are aid to serve.

I had a roge rage incident where a nan followed me for miles and then kicked my car when we stopped I was on to the police at the time I didn't get our or retaliate as advised. Despite damage to my car had I got out it would have been more than that. The police had the number but because there was no CCTV refused to do anything.

Recently around where I work there has been a very organised spate of thefts of Yamaha motorbikes that are stashed around the estate as well as mopeds. These are worth more I'm parts than the actual bikes.

Despite calling the police they have no interest in investigating or even sending a unit to recover them.

Also there is drug use anti social behaviour vehicles that are I know are driven with no tax or insurance knives found some with blood on the blades.

All this and more and they do nothing.

Whenever you report something they treat you like you are a nuisance.

If police show no interest or respect towards those they are supposed to serve then they can expect none back. Remember Arthur Libingo Jones the little boy beaten so bas and starved to death by his stepmother?

The boys Grandparents reported it to the police he was abused and then said if the grandparents went to rescue him they would be arrested for breaking covid laws.

Not l mention the murder of the woman by a police officer. His colleagues knew he was a lredator his nickname was the rapist. Yet no one reported him.

The Met alone is on special measures and under Cressida Dick was embroiled in scandal after scandal where they would do nothing and the Police Federation was complicit in covering for these corrupt officers.

The police reap what they sow.

Majority of those that assault police are the same types that would have no issue doing the same to a paramedic and vandalising the ambulance, or any other person for that matter. The largest difference is that the police are more often involved in situations that have the high potential to get out of hand.

Exactly their job means they have to get hand's on and people more often than not only see the aftermath of the incident that caused the police to arrest said person so all they see is someone being arrested and assuming it's police brutality.

If someone is going quietly he or she will be taken quietly.

To be fair some/lots/a few/whatever police will no doubt antagonise and provoke people to react. They are not all perfect officers. Sometimes they use far more force than is needed for a situation.

But yes lots of times people will be resisting or being uncooperative which then requires it to be taken up to another level. Some people (both sides) simply don't help the situations.

8 or 9 times out of 10, doesnt matter who you are, if you cooperate things won't escalate.

It wasn't terrifying as muchnas annoying because I did the right thing and called the cops and followed their advice. Next time I will simply wait for him to get out if his car then run him down.
