Not all heroes wear capes... but this one does!
Can we take a moment to applaud this fella, mid-haircut - but dashing out to aid a copper with a violent criminal?
Not enough people like you around! 💙

We don't know you, but we don't need to know your name to know that we're proud of you. Like the silent majority, we stand with you. The cowards that choose to throw things at you from afar are just that, weak, mindless cowards.

Dear @Tesco - apparently "every little helps" - and in this case, one of your drivers has done far more than "a little". Please could you recognise his bravery and assistance to the police? The world needs more of this!

"Hey UKCH. Could we ask for a tribute post for Ryan who is being laid to rest today?
His name is Ryan Donaldson, PC 3391 of North Wales Police. It would mean a lot to his police family, R4 Wrexham Rural."
It would be our pleasure.
We hope you've found peace Ryan. 💙

Tasers aren't as common as you might think - especially in Scotland. So, here you have some absolutely stirling improvisation by unarmed cops in East Kilbride when faced with a violent and agitated knifeman.

Ladies, you can tell a lot about a man by how dogs react to him.
For example, if a Police Dog is biting him, he's probably not ideal.

Attempted bike theft in Southampton. Thieving shitbags with a cordless disc cutter tool - versus an angry man with a length of 2x4.
Do we encourage this? No. You should always record them, shout at them, call the police etc. Getting an artery cut with a power tool is a one way ticket out of here.
But do we love to see this? Yes! Sorry, but despite what people like to spout on Social Media, this is "reasonable force" in our humble opinion. There are multiple suspects and one of them is armed with a deadly weapon. It's a shame he didn't hit him harder.
We'd never actively encourage this, but we will certainly applaud anyone who steps up. Who knows... if EVERYONE stepped up, maybe this sort of brazen criminality would decrease? 🤷🏻♂️
It's okay though! There will be cops back on every street corner soon enough! 😉

Sorry, but this is shameful. After thirty years of sacrifices, trauma, conflict and grief... not as much as a handshake or a thank you?
If you're a senior manager - anywhere - and this is reflective of you, then shame on you.
Do better for staff that have given their all.
New title. It happened.
For anyone who has romantic notions of what ending three decades of Policing looks like- it's a plastic bag full of kit.
