would have just loved to be able to pull out a rifle an just shout mines bigger than yours hahaha
but its true we cant even defend our self any more. worst thing is the CID come over an asked "are you sure it was a real gun" they weren't taking it serious at all. so at what point dose it become a real gun to them?... after the trigger has been pulled of course and me with a hole in me :S they even asked me what shape the barrel was!!
That's coz the lazy bastards are trying to reduce the severity of the crime.
It's having too few coppers, too many rules and too many cameras.
If you call the cops nowadays, how quick do they come.
It reminds me of the following;
Old biddy calls the cops to report some scrote in his shed. The 999 busies tell him that they have no officers available to respond. He says "it's ok, don't worry. I'll just shoot him" and hangs up. 3 mins later AR units turn up, blue lights everywhere. ****ed off, the officer asked the old bloke, "I thought you had a gun?" the old fart responded "thought no one was available".
But seriously I do know of someone who reported a little **** in their garage and told the 999 busy that he had something shiny in his hand, only to be told that she could be prosecuted for wasting police time so she should be sure.
I told her that she should have told them to go ahead and try to prosecute her, but remember that if that is a weapon and they don't come, she will sue them within an inch of their lives. Starting with the op.
Police are getting close to the level of respect I have for the scum they are supposed to protect us from. Swim in **** long enough and you start to stink yourself huh?
