PSNI IN OLYMPIC BID TO WIN WORLD’S WORST POLICE FORCE…
By David Vance On August 7th, 2012It’s a Gold medal winning performance for Matt Baggot’s boys…
Thirty-three police officers have been suspended from duty over the past year in Northern Ireland. The suspensions followed a series of allegations including assault, a sexual offence, death threats, being drunk in charge of a loaded firearm and theft.
The PSNI remains a parody of a Police Force with learning the Irish language as a main priority for its politicised elite.
Is this not a sign of a police force rooting out the problems within itself? Surely it’s progress?
No idea why you would bring the Irish language into it, David. PSNI officers openly learning the language, rather than in secret, as it used to be, is part of the normalisation of the language, thus reducing the politicisation of it. Again, surely a good thing, because it stops people making snide remarks about it…oh…wait…
Is the PSNI as bad as this?

A man with Parkinson’s disease who was arrested during the Olympic men’s cycling road race while sitting beside the route has said he wants a “letter of exoneration” from Surrey police, claiming their treatment of him was disproportionate.
Worsfold, whose experience was first reported by Private Eye, claims police questioned him about his demeanour and why he had not been seen to be visibly enjoying the event. Worsfold, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2010, suffers from muscle rigidity that affects his face. He was released after two hours without charge or caution.
“It could have been done better. I was arrested for not smiling. I have Parkinson’s,” he said, adding that he realised the officers were working long hours and trying to control the event properly, but they had not, in his case, acted correctly. He said he did not want to make further comment until he received a response from Surrey police. -
The lesson to be learnt is that when you see the police, make sure that you’re smiling – or else.
