Police Will Not Save You from Anything

It seems that whenever police appear in mainstream media there are only three reasons: (1) To brag about being Woke. (2) To threaten white men for being sexist, homophobic, violent and racist. (3) To admit that one or more police officers has been arrested or convicted of some awful crime. What is going on?  A  hideous change has taken place, and the police are not police anymore.

I assume that part of the reason  I don't see much of the Old Bill nowadays is because I'm usually roaming in the backside of nowhere or deep in the cop-free countryside. City-friends assure me that armour-clad police-persons do still make public appearances, although mostly in masked, defensive vanloads and usually at public gatherings. Football matches and protest marches are popular, apparently. 

One major change I can't help noticing has been that you never see solitary officers anymore. I don't know if they mate for life, but polce always cruise in pairs these days. Are they running an in-house breeding programme?

Whenever I spot uniformed officers they're invariably browsing the aisles in supermarkets or emerging from cafes and garages clutching sandwiches, buns and coffee. Every shopping mall in Britain features at least one pair of porky cops skulking nearby in a parked squad-car, hats off, chowing down. Over the last 12 months police and fast food have become synonomous in my mind.        

They tend to look shabby; ill-fitting uniforms hung on slack, flabby frames. Some struggle to walk without snagging the low-tech cop-props that dangle from the zips, ties and chains. Their pockets and flaps bulge with digital lumps. If fashion is your bag, in 2022 the average police dude is wearing more pointless black accessories than a King's-Road punk. 

Many young officers -pleasemen I call them- seem bent on avoiding the public altogether, their reluctance  bordering on paranoia. Specimens like these don't exactly inspire confidence that the mean city streets are safely under control. It took twenty-odd years to pull it off, but there's no doubt the grown-up police have been replaced with something inferior and different, something alien. 

It's like a remake of Invasion of The Body Snatchers, but this time with bobbies as the first victims.  One by one the front-line defenders of law and order have their muscles and brains sucked out; their truncheons surgically removed by slobbering creatures from Planet Woke. Too late, we realise, every long-armed officer has been replaced by a waddling green-haired mook with a party hat, high-heels and a bag of doughnuts.

There is a widespread -and correct- assumption that the bulk of police-work now consists of enforcing behaviour-modification on people who have broken no laws. Burglars, shoplifters and car-thieves toil unmolested, while officers will race to hammer on the doors of people tweeting their personal opinions. It's a dire fact that over 90% of reported crimes go unsolved, but that's not surprising when most reported crimes are merely recorded, but not investigated. 

Consider these two very revealing aspects about police training. 

(1) A fledgling uniformed officer recieves a total of five months training before being set loose in the public arena, to enforce the 11,000+ laws dealing with life in Britain.  

(2) All police recruits are obliged to undergo "gender sensitivity" training. It is abundantly clear from official documents that the training is intended to ensure  people claiming to be "trans" are treated differently than anyone else. 

In other words, at a time when only a tiny fraction of crimes are ever solved, the police are busy putting a two-tier system in place for arresting people. For example, anyone claiming to be 'transgender' must be put in a cell on their own. The rest of us can be chucked into the slammer together, as we're not so important or sensitive. Similarly, a trans-person has an 'understandable' excuse for not wishing to submit to a strip-search. Unlike you or me. 

After glancing at the Norfolk police force document online, I was so gobsmacked I downloaded and read the whole 13 pages -which you too can do by clicking on the title:

   Force Policy Document
Transgender Persons: Transsexuals,
Transvestites and Intersex

Reading this unbelievable waste of taxpayers' money, it becomes obvious the police force is now, like the political class and the education system, utterly detached from reality. By viewing just one paragraph, the madness is both revealed and explained. To each moronic sentence I have added a comment.  

When a child is born a midwife or doctor looks at the baby’s genitals and
declares it boy or girl accordingly. [No, the doctor/midwife examines the baby and correctly records its actual sex] 

However gender is quite complicated and assigning gender doesn’t always work as a small number of people find the gender they are assigned does not match their gender identity. [Are you insane? Not a single newborn child in the history of human life on earth has ever been 'assigned gender'. Gender is a recently made-up word invented by pseudo-academics to help spread sexual confusion and promote non-conformity] 

Gender identity, which is the person’s internal perception and experience of the gender; and gender role, which is the way that the person lives in society and interacts with others based in their gender identity. [This sentence is something of a literary gem, being both illiterate and vacuous. It consists of two meaningless claims  separated by a semi-colon but supported by nothing]

It should be noted, however, that for the purposes of the law, gender is binary–people
can only be male or female. [Yes, a simple fact that exposes the rest of the13-page document as irrelevant]

To summarise the nonsense above, the entire population is made up of men and women, full stop. It's not the police's job to fathom the schizoid  complexities of people they arrest, whatever their delusions. Would I get special treatment by declaring I identify as a cabinet minister? Or a chief constable, or the King?

There is a flip side to the Woke police however. While the newbie recruits are being schooled like trainee snowflake-councellors, there is also a cadre of violent malcontents whose character leans towards criminality, which is expressed by  their contempt for the public and the law itself. Far too many cops think the law simply does not apply to them, and see the uniform as a license to predate.

In the spirit of digital censorship so beloved of our masters, nine months ago Youtube shut down the work of a Youtuber called "Crimebodge." This was a well-researched, hard-hitting site where the shortcomings and sometimes downright criminality of police were under constant scrutiny. Having acquired almost a quarter of a million subscribers, inevitably he had to be silenced. 

Crimebodge still writes however, both articles and some excellent ebooks packed with great advice on dealing with police. [click on Crimebodge.com to visit]. In March he posted a lengthy piece from a Scottish ex-policeman -'Officer X' - which described the culture of contempt for the public and basic unprofessionalism that drove him to resign from the force. I encourage readers to explore the article: True Stories From the frontline of Policing by clicking HERE  

One short excerpt should be enough to establish the writer is speaking from raw experience : "There is a common saying among Police Scotland regarding Section 20 of the Police and Fire Reform Act 2012... This saying is that the section is a ‘ways and means act’ – essentially, an officer can do whatever he or she wishes to do, in any scenario, so long as they can justify it in any way or means as to suggest the action was required to protect property or life. This was instilled into officers from superiors, and resulted in some incredibly horrendous abuses of power. Some of which included, officers physically assaulting suspects and detainees where it was not required, but they knew no member of the public was watching and could justify it as resisting arrest."

Every year, a disproportionately high number of police officers are convicted of crimes, compared to either the population at large or any other profession. The two most common offences police are convicted of are drink-driving and sexual assault -in that order. A range of explanations can be offered as to why this should be, but in a society like ours -which has taken a swift turn towards an effective elite dictatorship- this does not bode well for the general public.   

I used to take the police seriously. In the late 1980's I accepted several jobs in social work, arranged through a high-street employment agency in south London. One summer I was employed by a secure unit in Crystal Palace, where a dozen young men -under 18- were awaiting trial for various crimes of violence including murder. 

On my first day, I was greeted in a kind of 'airlock' -a steel-doored compartment. The beefy-loooking bloke in charge shook my hand and clipped a lightwight utility-belt around my waist. On it was a very large red button. "This," my host informed me, "is your emergency alarm." I inquired what would happen if I pushed the red button. He replied "Three big ugly geezers come running to help."

Within fifteen minutes I learned this was a police-run facilty where agency staff like myself were bussed in to supply an extra layer of hands-on control at a fraction of the cost. 

"So I'm the police now, " I quipped to my new boss. "Uh-huh," he replied, "that's about the size of it." 

I was a little shocked, but not as much as I would have been a year before when I was green and new to the job. Child-centred social-work, I would learn,  depended on a regimented supply of staff who could deliver a convincing imitation of parental care.  After just a few months I understood there was a terribly thin line between the love and the law. To find myself in charge of trainee brutes and killers was, in the end, just another brick in the wall.   

It was then that I realised that police are just the ones who -in return for a wage- formally accept and commit to the bonds of responsibility. Yet in a hypothetically moral society, we are all, to some extent,  police - we simply choose, as individuals, where in the line we stand. We decide how much crap we will put up with, and how much energy we will expend in response to various threats.

POLICING THE VIRUS

This was demonstrated in spades in 2020 when covid was used to transform the public into trembling wimps and the police into a freerange health-gestapo. Who will ever forget the glee with which cops exploited the unlimited opportunities to oppress innocent citizens for disobedience in the face of 'laws' invented overnight? But I was equallly shocked by the amount of people whose response was to embrace their own subjugation. 

There was clearly a degree of public desire to abandon personal autonomy, to hand over all and every decision to some "authority" which knew better than ourselves. Covid was, for way too many people, the chance to surrender for which it seems they had been waiting. Pampered in a world of easy-to-access luxury and leisure,  the endless cycle of everyday choices had produced a population so exhausted by self-indulgence that the urge to be controlled could not be resisted. Perhaps a significant minority had simply been cossetted too heavily by the state. When you live too long in the pockets of others, fearing nothing, does the first threat balloon into terror in your flabby mind?   

That's why the everyday 2022 police are pantomime horses; nonentities;   decorative symbols of an authority in which nobody believes but everyone pretends to. In this, they are the product of and mirror to the government they serve - a regime which everyone despises for which no alternative is available. The police are an accurate reflection of the society that produces them, and ours has lost the plot where collective responsibility is concerned.

LAND AHOY

 

A hundred years ago, if canoes filled with military-age foreign men had come ashore in Kent, locals would have holed their boats and clapped the occupants in chains. Any subsequent invading boats would have been sunk offshore by fishermen, the navy or both. Boat-crossings would have been stopped, quickly and without unnecessary fuss.   

It was believed (until about 20 minutes ago) that we had long since learned the truth at swordpoint  from Vikings and Romans; draw the line at your nation's gate or be conquered. Had we taken that approach in the 21st century, I need hardly describe the upside for the health of our society, our cities, our women and children and our streets.

But we had swallowed the multi-cultural lie of the 1960's, parroted by  stoned middle-class brats with only their parents' money to lose, and chanted by Coca-Cola salesmen with everything to gain. 

If we will not lift a finger to defend our own border, how can we complain when our daughters are grabbed and raped? When the threat is to our nation we are all the army; when danger walks the streets we are all in the police - unless and until we grow lazy, greedy and abandon our self-respect. To paraphrase Gustav Flaubert, "Les police? C'est moi."

We are the police. Think about it.
