I'm new, to here that is.

Hi,

I'm Jim, I'm fat and a boy, a MAN. I work in South London with the Metropolitan Police, I say work, they let me drive cars/prisoner vans really fast and hit nasty people with an Iron bar named after a snake? That can't be considered work can it?

I've been a constable for 9+ years, all of that in uniform, with the odd plain clothes posting here and there.

I was born and bred in South London, on a Council housing Estate just up the road from a place called Brixton (BIG riots in the 80's and again in 96). Now I couldn't afford a house where I lived as a kid!? £1.5 mil for a four bed house. :confused:
I now live just outside London with my wife, one daughter and two German Shepherds called Vinny and Echo.

Anyhow hello to you all.

Jim

I am all for humor, but Ill bet you allot of people will criticize you for your comments. I thought it was funny, but they won't. It is a good forum, but not a nice one. :(

Anyway, welcome.

I am going to have to agree, albeit you are a fellow Englander. The Asp joke might be a bit to hard to swallow, welcome anyway.

Hello London man! I am new to the site too! Everybody here seems pretty helpful. You live in a wonderful place! My family lived in Scotland for 4 yrs with the Navy. I was young but I remember how beautiful England was. Enjoy it! Juchne

Welcome!! enjoy your stay.

Sorry if the ASP joke offends, Truth be known I've only ever broken a car window with it! (Lone female 3am locked out of car).

I've never hit anyone with it (nasty or not), I've only ever deployed C.S. spray twice, the first because a person was trying to stab me and a kid, and the second because I fell 8 feet from a garden shed with a burglary suspect and burst the can!!! Don't worry about the suspect he landed on me.

I'm not agressive by nature inspite of my thugish appearance ( 6'1" crew cut 250lb).

I did have excellent photos of the bruise made by the can, but my wife burnt them to stop me showing people. :(


Once again sorry if I offended you in anyway.

Jim

Holy crap! Someone trying to stab you and all you had was CS? Any chance of the Constables getting Tazers?

No, only our trojan officers (armed units) will be getting Tasers, once all the testing and retesting is out of the way. :confused:

Think yourself lucky you have trojans, the eta for our first armed response unit is within 20 minutes, and 40 for the second :(

Scary stuff Bill! I know a lot of people will say because guns are outlawed in the UK that Constables don't need them but they forget there are many things other than guns that can be used to cause serious or deadly injury.

it's true Guns are outlawed here. Only thing is the outlaws still have 'em and use 'em!!

They reactivate Deativated weapons, they may not have rifling in the barrells, but then when you empty a 30 rnd MAC 10 in under 3 seconds you WILL hit something.
