Police Convention in Civic Bus Interchange

Instead of insults and shouting louder how about a nursery rhyme (said in time with the children’s classic ‘Jack Sprat’)

Ant, Ant loves a rant
Farq can be soooo mean

No. I require strong standards of proof, unlike you. What people say on a web forum can never be trusted 100%.

But at any rate, no matter what profession you are in, logic IS important. You can’t make up for it with insults and shouting louder than the next man.

Farqant,

Are you 100% sure you know what I do for a living NOW?

100%?

farqant: Common sense like what you display ??

vg’s displaying his piss poor deduction skills. There are many more likely possibilities exist than ant using my login, like me just trolling. Scary that he can construct a case with such erroneous logic. Hopefully he displays more common sense while on shift (or is confined to paper work, traffic, driving senior officers around).

I will now refer to you as farqant. Simply posting twice under the different logins, seemingly outraged at such a thought, is not enough to convince me otherwise

ant said :

Well, this thread has proven one thing. Our local plod really are *that* stupid. Well done boys!

Another question though, how are you going to walk with both feet completely shot off?

You answer questions on another log on, that were directed to your original log on, and accuse others of stupidity?

‘Pot, this is kettle, over’

Maybe Ant will have to wear his ‘cloak of invisibility’ at the RA breakfast while he relates his stories of all night ICQ and Facebook sessions in his undies?

Ant and Co,

As tempting as it is for me to launch into you with the same type of pathetic, derogatory garbage you aim at the Police in your posts I am going to exercise restraint. Instead, I will let the facts do the talking for me. Please see below for examples of the Police ‘uselessness’ referred to by Ant / Farq and his / their band of professional hand-wringers:

Friday, 6 June 2008 – ACT Police media release

Ant and Farq together VG???? Oh my hat indeed. That would be a debate….the greatest mass debate of all time.

Ant, usually I would never wish any ill towards another person. You on the other hand actually need some tragedy to befall you which requires the intervention of ACT Police. Now I don’t mean some trivial disturbance which, in your previous postings on this subject equate to major upheavals in your pathetic life. I mean something along the lines of a serious assault, major motor vehicle accident, major burglary where some of your most treasured possessions are stolen etc etc etc.

You will find that we have a professional and enthusiastic force who will do their utmost to resolve the situation according to legislation and at the same time offer all sorts of support services to assist you in you recovery from the event.

I doubt that you are stupid enough, and I stand to be corrected, that you would start gobbing off about fat, doughnut eating cops whilst you are lying on a hospital bed severely traumatised by a criminal action. If you had the ability to shut that smart arsed gobby mouth of yours you would find the police to be exactly as I have previously described them.

On the other hand, if these rants of yours are just an attempt at humour, it is crap, boring and inane and I challenge you to walk up to Police in the street and say it to their face.

Well, this thread has proven one thing. Our local plod really are *that* stupid. Well done boys!

Another question though, how are you going to walk with both feet completely shot off?

Way to jump to an unreliable conclusion based on specious reasoning.

Do you do this often in your line of work vg?

farqs answering questions directed at ant now. Log in under the wrong username?

If you think a certain law is dumb talk to your local MP and rally to have it changed. The whole law system is broken into a number of parts. This is primary school stuff now so pay attention.

1 – Government – make the laws – this is supposed to reflect what society wants.
2 – Police – enforce laws made by Government.
3 – Judiciary – Interprets the laws and deals with those who break said laws.

Police are issued as standard reflective aviators, bad attitude and a game face.

Goodness me, logging into this site under 2 log ins and being caught out.

How sad. Actually its not said, its pathetic.

Perhaps he can start his own thread and debate himself until one of them comes out on top. Oh my hat!

@ Special G….. lol

Oh I forgot – There used to be standard moustachios as well although after the whole equal opportunity thing and the chicks (well some of them) having issues growing them moustaches became optional.

Well that was a piece of enthralling information. You have proven one thing. I’ll let everyone use thier imagination on that one.

Hah. Join the police…I don’t know…

Will I be provided with sunglasses and a bad attitude during indoctrination?

What if I think a certain law is dumb, can I take personal responsibility for my actions and not enforce that one?

@ant : I’m not having an argument about the effectivness (or not) of the police, nor will I be entering one. I am pointing out the ever lasting “from the hip” remarks from you about police “EVERY” chance you can get.

It is a way overdone by you and only makes you look like “sour grapes” syndrome. I think it has been proven that you are are a person that is “impossible” to please unless your “boots are licked” so to speak. So any grievences you speak of, are taken with a pinch of salt (on the policing front anyway)

What job or service to do you provide? (open question, don’t answer) Are you or your fellow workers perfect 100% of the time? In your job do you regularly get spat, punched, kicked at ?? Abused and called every name under the sun in public?? and this is just tiny sample of the wonderful work conditions enjoyed by the useless, lazy, incompetant officers looking after our safety.

Go to recruiting, join the fascists and change the world ant, if your so disillusioned. If it’s so bad, do your civic duty and join up and do your bit.

This is just an opinion. Feel free to pass judgement on me if you wish.

You’re right, we have been through the police in the ACT are disappointing/useless etc argument on other threads. I remember someone shot you down in one of those threads and you had no reply. Funny about that.

If skaboy was not satisfied with police actions, there are steps he can take to rectify that, such as making a complaint to the relevant people. Same goes with you ant, with your many previous unsatisfactory experiences with police.

Police, since you seem to want to have this argument again, are very disappointing in the ACT. So it’s easy to dismiss them as doughnut-munching wastes of time. Would you like some more? Since I do mainly post “on the real issues”, but you and your pack of police/police wannabes keep wanting to bring it back to how useless our police are. So every time one of you invokes me on a thread I’m not even posting on, I’ll happily oblige with some more comments about police uselessness.

You must really hate the police.

The main problem with Ant’s anti-police rants are that they are soooo repetitive and boring. At least come up with something other than doughnuts. Are you that heavily influenced by American culture? Maybe after our cops eat their doughnuts they can have some fries, all washed down with a nice big soda, then go and watch some baseball.

Oh what a shock, ant, the police hater is back spruking his usual banter.

Shall we dispatch the “cold and flu” police today as someone sneezed in my general direction ??

For a man of such self professed intellectual prowess, you come up with “doughnuts” as your catch cry of police inaction and incompetance.

How bout worrying about the real issues instead of why a police officer hasn’t licked your boots today.

MRB has superior powers of deduction, to get all that from a simple question about doughnuts! If you’re so desperate for good stories about the police, maybe you’d better put some of your own up, as no one else seems to have any. The chap in the other thread who tried to report someone almost crashing into him got the standard response from the police: complete indifference.

So, let’s talk about the doughnuts.

And here I am thinking ant actually had a problem with the cops – as it turns out he just wants an answer to a simple question, and then all shall be forgiven! Hallelujah!

Someone please answer this, it has clearly been bothering him for some time.

I see there are several police (or police-wannabes) here, so would you please favour us with an answer to the question that has been bothering many of us for years: which doughnuts do police prefer? Plain cinnamon adn sugar, or glazed, or jam-filled ones?

Farq – I didn’t even mean to make a reference to your sexuality. Threesome as in three of you. Maybe I should have said trio. but read it as you will and add it to your own insecurities.

Who cares what the Police were doing in Civic, nothing to see here, go about your business.

I thought it was a trait of these newer generations to have several different jobs in their lifetime. Why any different for the cops farq? These days, 5 years seems like a long time in any job…

And in this day and age of self-preservation, if it doesn’t affect you, who cares what they were doing?? As vg said, it seems that even if something as trivial as someone observing a police car with it’s lights on, everyone must know (and apparently has a right to know) what was going on. WHO CARES!!

I understand ant and his ilk have several ‘I had a bad experience with the cops’ stories, but I wonder how many stories an individual cop could come up with about ‘members of the public who are right twats’ – I’d reckon the ratio would be ‘large number’ – 1.

End of a full police escort from the airport for some one very special. That easy.

Your plan was so clever, Special G. You now look like twice the lonely moron.

You would think if it was a newsworthy incident it would have been on the news.

Fcuk me some people need to get a life. I heard an alarm in the next suburb, does anyone know what was happening there? Someone got punched in the face in Civic, any news? I saw a cop in Dickson, does anyone have any info?

Talking to dubious characters? Incredible stuff

Hope the aggressive shouters aren’t too scary for you Farq. I think you’ll find that most Police only reply in kind, so you must be a nob-end

Training for the newbies.

In correct procedure for doughnut procurement.

Besides the amazingly original doughnut cracks, and a piss weak squabble. Does anyone know anything further about the question posed by shanefos?

Sunglasses and doughnuts. Bad combination.

Special G, you sure sound like you have yourself convinced.

But who ever said I ‘hate’ police?

I simply have concerns about the attitude I see displayed (including around here) by people employed to keep the peace. You know, that standard over the top, insulting, bombastic, aggressive shouting that passes for discussion (with just a touch of homophobia thrown in).

Still I can see how it is much easier for you to get aggressive and belligerent with people if you can pigeon hole their views. I guess you find the world allot simpler and safer when everyone who disagrees with you is simply a ‘hater’.

I’m sorry if I wounded you deeply… I only prod and troll to make you think (and get a bite).

Was it the sunglasses comment that hurt you? Are you part of the guilty majority who wear them even when overcast because you think it makes you look cool and intimidating, like bad guys from some american movie?

Peace out! Have a hate-free weekend!

Lots of police milling about in one spot? Definitely something concerning doughnuts. Serious doughnut official business.

Gee Farq. Your comments wound me deep. It’s well known you hate Police. I just haven’t seen your particular brand lately.

It is well known that the ACT has a junior Police force due to Govt funding and lack of recruitment in the second half of the 90’s, early 00’s. Combined with the AFP’s growing commitment OS it’s not surprising more experienced people moved out of ACT Policing and into other areas, others resign and chase the big bucks as investigators with private companies, eg banks and the like which all have their own teams and employ x-Police to staff them. Natural progression as such. This has been discussed several times.

It’s also well known DMD will bite when anyone throws a line into his pond. I didn’t think I’d get him that quick, but hey, that’s fishing.

@DMD – I was specifically making the point about farq hating cops. As for the cop who recently got done for Child porn, I am not oblivious to cops not all being goody two shoes, and he in particular should rot in hard core pund me in the arse prison for a very long time.

the police convention at the headquarters on the corner there! mm doughnuts

Ah Special G; dispensing your own brand of specialness in a professional and non-confrontational manner.

Super.

I’m impressed that you only used a low level homophobic insult. Have you had some sort of police media training?

You say it’s unlikely for any of our police to have more than 5 years on the job? I wonder why they all quit?

Is it just the rude ones who stay on?

Hook, line and DMD

I’m not going to bother Special G. Keep living in your closeted fantasyland where they bad-guys hate the cops and every single officer in the force is a goody-goody gum-shoes even when they make serious flaws in the course of their duties. Or look up child porn.

Holy crap there are police in the ACT with 5 years on the job (not likely). Where have you been farq – your cop bashing has been missed – you need to get in touch with DMD and tap as you’d make a lovely threesome.

white powder incident? You mean there was no icing sugar on the donuts?

Sorry!

Just a white powder incident at a large motel in Civic.

I thought a good percentage of local AFP had blank shoulder thingys.

You know the type, 5 years on the job, still on traffic duty. Bitter and rude with the road users they serve.

The kind that wear sun glasses even on overcast days, just so you don’t see the dead look in their eyes.

Yep, could have been these guys…

Don’t quote me, but there is a class of trainees out and about at the moment. Next time you see more than half a dozen doing something, check their chevrons (shoulders). If the majority are blank and the lads look fit, clean and not yet worn down from shift-work and being constantly asked “Do you know who I am copper?”, then they’re probably getting some experiential learning in.

apparently, a rumour circulated over afp comm channels of an imminent out of control donut van, but the driver was overcharged $5 for his luncheon pizza and managed to avoid the disaster. much to plods’ chagrin…
