While I except the level of violence most of us have seen or participated in is in no way as bad as the Old Bill must come their way as an old football fella, you never got on your toes if one of yours was down. As for Mackey even if the shame becomes to much he'll unreservedly still get his pension

The ex copper on the box this morning said he knew of a police officer who got sacked because he didn't jump in when his colleague was being attacked.........of course it will be one rule for one etc etc

10 Oct 18 22:26 Joined: 11 Jun 12 | Topic/replies: 25,909 | Blogger: SlippyBlue's blog jamesdean, the man who would run and hide behind a dustbin rather than try and help someone being murdered before his very eyes. Says it all. No idea what I'd do but what I wouldn't do is come on internet forum saying I'd do this and that making out I'm some sort of hero whilst sitting behind my keyboard. Slippyblue the man do wah diddy summed up perfectly on here a few days ago when he implied anything he had done you had done it twice with bells on. I see youve had that post of his removed. It was a cracker and summed you up to a tee. Your need to be seen as the best on an anonymous forum is embarrassing. Anything anyone has done you'll have done it twice or to a better standard. Absolutely cringeworthy and dowah won't have been the only one to have spotted it. But aye you'd get stuck right into the machete weilding lunatic because that's the superhero you just are eh What I've tend to have found in life are the ones that shout the loudest with the big I am, are the biggest cowards out of them all. I doubt you are any different. |

It was do wah that highlighted it and a few people congratulated him on being a great judge of character after it.
Plus if you want to get picky aka, go back and read the whole thread and you will see it was slippyblue that got personal with me first, actually highlighting my username in the process. Maybe you should have a go at slippy as well for fairness.. |

Recall the police officer who fought with 3 of the London Bridge attackers armed with just a baton
He was stabbed in the head and hands and leg He described realising what was happening and taking a breath and attacking the first terrorist with his baton hitting him and trying to drive the baton right through his head It was a tremendous act of courage |

Totally agree lfc there were a lot of brave people that night and three dead w@nkers
 |
|
By:
Totally agree with that lfc. He was a true hero
The fact is though he was an exception to the rule especially non police/services and that's despite what many would try and have you belief on here. |

I wouldn’t be surprised if some people on this forum would be capable of that sort of courage , and I would include slippy blue in that
Just my opinion |
|
By:
I’ve certainly know some people in my life who would have been
|
|
By:
On what basis? By what they post on here?
I think in all honest most people in real life and off here would sh1te themselves and run/freeze. There might well be the odd one that would get stuck in but I doubt most would going by the facts of previous attacks. I know that not might be the tough guy thing to post but it's probably more realistic. |

Ordinary everyday people , like slippyblue
They are not so rare as you might expect |
|
By:
Like slippyblue? Again, and I don't mean to be personal here but on what basis are you reckoning slippy would be a have a go hero against
a knife welding terrorist intent on mass murder. His posts on here? Whilst everyone else is running away scared for their lives, slippyblue is running through the crowds towards the would be killer, possibly just him and maybe one or two others from chitchat if they happened to be in the area aye right, gd night. |

By:
I would say most of us know someone who would be brave enough to do the right thing , I’ve no doubt about that
|
|
By:
Terrible view of people JD.
What you are describing is the normal reaction to seeing someone armed with a knife. But then watching another human being attacked generates a different response from most. |

I think all policemen who work on our streets should carry guns.
|
|
By:
Utter madness to me that any policeman working around parliament doesn't have a gun to protect himself and others.
|
|
By:
Most of us would like to think that we would step in, however until it happens no one really knows how they would react to the very real possibility of being killed or seriously injured and that includes those trained for those circumstances.
Anyone who says I would do this or that should preface it with "I hope" |

I'd like to think I'd have a go if I could get hold of an effective weapon like a tyre iron or something to give me a fighting chance. Or with a group of mates who could rush him.

Gone away from the subject :
PROTECT and SERVE We are talking about a high ranking serving officer not a have a go hero,he should have done something /anything to try and help his colleague. |

At the end of the day, the constable should never have been guarding Parliament without being armed, given the current state the world is in.

If i felt i could help an individual who was in fear of his life, i would. But if the Government said 'come on Blackrock we need you to help fight off the religion of peace' - i'd tell them to phuck right off.
You helped ruin the country,[gov] don't ask me to dig you out of it. |

Sir (ffs) Craig Mackey who retires soon was a disgrace.
I agree with jamesdean and The Baron about how people would react. Saying you're brave, or would be brave, and being brave are entirely different things. |
|
By:
The rank and file will see Craig Mackey as a disgrace to the service,the fact that if this was a PC,Sgt or Inspector with no PPE doing nothing whilst there colleague was being stabbed would see them on a discipline charge,it just beggars belief
