I wonder why?

He’s right but it’s a vicious circle. There’s many people out there who are intimidating, violent etc but get away with it because the Police don’t bother turning up or just give them a slap on the wrist when they do. The more people get away with stuff the more they will push the boundaries.
I’ve personally seen loads of “challenge the police” type videos on various social media platforms. All
Specifically in the uk. It’s almost like someone outside the UK is trying to sew decent in this country
The Met police aren’t taken seriously for very good reason
Maybe if authority was deserving of respect?
Whether the police are deserving of respect or not this is an end consequence of years of disinformation claiming authorities are lying about everything and cannot ever be trusted
Which itself is due to… what, Mark? Wanna continue this thought just a lil further, hmm?
The thing Rowley doesn’t get is that authority has to earn people’s respect. It isn’t given automatically.
Invest in the prison estate and the police force and see an upswing in respect for authority ensue
Plus you’ll come back in for your next shift and it would be NFA.
Maybe do your job properly then. You know what you’re paid to so.
Oooh, I dunno, Mr Rowley, could it because you and far too many of your officers are racist, misogynist cockwombles?
so the reason we don’t attack police is because we respect authority?
Because fuck-all happens when people break the law?
Because police call criminals ‘suspect’ even when they witness a crime happen.
I have no respect for authority. I do not attack people. I have respect for humanity.
The police are incapable of tackling street crime, society has been run by a bunch of scam artists who did whatever they wanted for years. On top of that, the police are in the news on a weekly basis because their officers are arrested for rape, abuse, etc. It’s a mess, and the police have their part to pay in it.
Maybe nobody respects the Met due to the out of control corruption, incompetence and utter lack of effort in solving crimes against the public like the rampant mobile phone theft?
I disagree with these attack but they do not have respect even to themselves
The proper answer to this question requires a much larger scoped answer than anyone who writes or reads a newspaper to understand or convey.
I had a no fault crash a few years ago when someone pulled out of a side street while I had right of way.
The police were not at all kind or nice when they arrived, but I deemed it as them not trying to show sides? The offender was a young lad who’s car was packed to the brim, casually eating sweets as he told me this stuff happened to him all of the time.
After the initial assessment and waiting for the car to be towed an officer approached me and said he could smell weed and that I had to do a drugs test for it. I was in shock at the time and complied, despite clearly not smelling of weed or showing any signs of being innebreiated.
He held me in the police car for 45 minutes waiting for the test to come up positive. Just kept turning back to look at me then the test. When it was pretty obvious that I was sober he was clearly disappointed and frustrated, then told me that I was lucky it was clear “You would have been locked up”.
Like, fuck off mate? I’m sober and just had my car written off? Lost any remaining respect for the police about then
I rather think that if you expect people to respect your authority you should lead by example, and let’s face it our authority figures; the met, the royals, parliament, C of E etc haven’t exactly covered themselves in glory over the last decade.
A fish rots from the head.
Lack of respect for authority is caused by lack of respect BY authority
If the Met sort out their own corruption, racism, assault, rape and murder then maybe the public might respect them a little more
The police do fuck all to prevent the widespread theft and they crack down on nightlife venues for a couple of drug deaths and a stabbing (talking about drumsheds here) when Winter Wonderland has violence every year even an acid attack this year and they do nothing.
Quite scary to me that someone so senior in the Police Service has such a one dimensional and simplistic view of this.
Kinda hard to respect rapists and murders at worst and a bunch of bullies at best. Ive been verbally abused and threatened for being the victim of crime. Ive seen teenagers beaten bloody. Ive seen loads of issues over the years with the police both as a regular joe and as someone who worked with them.
So you can point that fucking finger up your arse, mate. The failure of respect came from your side LONG before it came from us.
Criminals think to themselves ‘am I going to jail for being an outrageous c#@t today’ the answer is no. Police are the scape goat for government under funding. The jail’s are full and cops are seen as a wet blanket. What does that tell you.
