I wonder what high quality standards of community support, equality and de-escalatation this will attract? Even the Army, who to some extent are literally paid to kill people, manage to show more class than this. |  |

Smashing down doors, shooting at people, it's like a drunken toff's party. |  |

Guns, dogs, and riot shields. In sleepy Suffolk? It’s a very strange ad. |  |

Did feel very MERICA, I will say. How often do you see armed police about day to day here? We gave tasers to ours and within 3 weeks the police managed to kill a bloke by wrongly tasering him till he jumped in the Thames to escape. You can’t give a load of people above responsibility toys like that but then say you can’t play with them bar very rare occasions, they’ll find a reason. With the Tories ripping up rules relating higher accountability whilst restricting our own freedoms and rights ads like this really aren’t a good sign for the future. Got budget to spend on violent coppers but nothing to inspire mobility and hope. Tories wanna bang the anti-violent crime drum and act like Khan is giving out free knives but the stats have gone up on the Tory’s watch whilst cutting back on basic needs of a functioning society. F**k em all. |  |

AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Guns n Roses, Advert for Suffolk Police, Aerosmith, Metallica, Tom Petty, Advert for Suffolk Police etc etc. Only hairy arsed rockers need apply for Motorbike Traffic Patrols. |  |
| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

This local police recruitment ad is a bit unsettling… on 13:39 - Aug 24 with 1962 views | Radlett_blue | A friend of my son was in the force for a few years & didn't like it for a variety of reasons, notably the shift work. I believe attracting people to join the force is now quite hard, especially as the police now seem generally disliked rather than admired and respected. Hence the force have had to lower their entry requirements & this just seems another desperate attempt to attract much needed new recruits. |  |

This is just how they go after people who offend others on social media nowadays - they don’t really bother going after thieves and drug dealers. |  | |  |

By “offend others” you mean “hate speech” which is an actual crime but hey ho. |  |

seeing some of your comments in this thread (I.e ‘f**k em all’) I reckon some may think you are a bit hateful on here - watch out 😀 |  | |  |

Evidently you don’t understand what a hate crime is. From your first post and your response. |  |

A couple of years ago the Guernsey Police made a recruitment video. It looked like an extract from Miami Vice. Everyone took the p-ss, and it was taken down after a day or two. |  | |  |

Ferrari was talking about this at least a month or so ago. Well I think he was, I haven’t played the video as I’m in the pub - but I suspect it’s about guns and new technology. Loads of coppers were phoning up saying how stupid it was as in reality they struggle to get a serviceable car to take out. [Post edited 25 Aug 2022 6:38]
