Im glad to say that this time next month i shall no longer be part fo the organised chaos that has policy that states " Police officers and staff should take suger from all MOP and have less protection and rights than mop" ( well at least that what happens in real time!) im joining the ambo service!...

By the looks of it, that could be anyone of us. It looks like he was outside with the bloke who could have been for all we know could have been anti social and the PCSO follows him into a shop and produces the knife. Good effort i say.

I find that primary communication and being honest would usually work have a laugh with then if it allows and they will chill out more and not try to 'prise some sort of tension out of you, if they get cofrontational or funny, just walk away and keep your body worn camera on, so you can film him fil...
