Funny, I don't believe Roz was arrested at any point.
But don't let that get in the way of a good story.

I'm not a police officer, but I do work for the emergency services.
Spineless? No offence, but people like you wouldn't last one second on a routine shift.

Why not? Because I'm law abiding?
Incidentally, I've never (until my later years) shirked away from violence (try working in social services or in Liberia during the civil war), but I just think the police force in this country are an absolute disgrace.

Hypocritical, spineless wankers?
I've been called a lot worse.
I don't know the exact circumstances of what happened to you and when, so I won't comment on that.
But it's a nice generalisation you made there.
A bit like LDC, Falmer Parish Council, Norman Baker etc, calling all football fans thuggish, uneducated, criminally prone hooligans who are bound to piss in their gardens I suppose.

Fair enough. The police officiers I come into daily contact with are decent, honest people. Like the rest of us they occasionally f*** up / get frightened / wish they had done things differently. But I still think they are the best police force in the world.

Err ...jonogulls said:I think you're all f***ing shite
The cops who post on NSC have been very sympathetic - helpful, indeed - to the wicked poster woman.
The real cop who has been dealing with the case has, so far, done nothing more than communicate by e-mail.
I guess they're all busy. But I haven't noticed much beating-up of football fans round here - not recently anyway.
I suppose we might ask whether the emergence of "virtual policing" is a good thing, or whether it will ever take off as an alternative to real policing. In the meantime, jonogulls, all I'll say is that I'm sorry to hear about the assault.

The only time that I have had to call on the police in an official capacity I was well impressed.
My wife and I arrived home at eleven one night after a weekend away to discover that we had been burgled. A constable arrived at around quarter to midnight and didn't leave us until turned one in the morning. The same morning just after nine the fingerprints man was at the house.
We couldn't have asked for better service.

Isn't it the general concensus these days that the best thing to do IS to shirk away from violence?
That's not being cowardly, it's being sensible... but we don't know the circumstances of your assault, so far be it from me to be critical

How many police did you see at the Albion yesterday?
I can see you're probably one of these people who's never going to see any other viewpoint.
But with things like football, they're damned if they do, and damned if they don't. Turn up with lots of police to a high profile game (which Wolves/Cardiff undoubtedly was) and if there's no trouble, people complain about a waste of resources (failing to consider maybe that's WHY there was no trouble).
If on the other hand, they decide to have a small police presence,
it then happens to kick off, and people complain that there was nobody there to protect them. They can't win.
I understand your frustration, without knowing exactly what happened to you, but if you think for one moment that the police officers of Sussex are sitting in the office, scratching their arses and eating donuts (not with the same hand, obviously) while the public are out getting their heads kicked in, you're very, very wrong.
I have never had so much work to do in my life as I do now. I'm supposed to keep the streets safe, patrol the local area and be proactive about it, while investigating dozens of reports of crime (some of which are complete CRAP anyway, or people trying to pull scams with their insurance companies or stitch mates up), and putting together lengthy files on all of this. I'm not after sympathy, I signed up for it when I started the job. But if there's a problem here, it's because there aren't enough police to go around, not because those who do the job don't give a shit.
At least not where I work. Complain at the Government if you wish, ask for more police on the streets (I'm sure you'd love to pay more taxes). But please don't try and convince me that the people doing the job aren't bothered about what goes on around the towns and villages of Sussex.
We have to live there too you know.

There are some absolutely disgraceful people in the police force. I remember one from Shoreham, PC Blackman, a complete and utter tosser. He kept stopping me in my car or on my motorbike everytime he saw me. Searched for drugs, breath tests the lot. I started taking the tickets into the police station at odd times of the night and eventually made a complaint about him, then it stopped.
What you should remember Johno is that they are never going to be the brightest people on the planet and they are always "only doing as they were told." You try getting one to come round when your house has been robbed, car broken into or someone has vandalised your stables - not a bloody chance. But, there always seem to be enough to enforce speeding tickets or arrest people for reading a list of names. Its never the xxxxxtables fault though, always a superior officer. Complain to you police authority, MP, parish, district and county councillors and make a lot of fuss. Cause them more bother than you have been caused and they might just help you next time if you are very lucky, its a tuesdays and a wxing gibbous moon.
