Twunts...well, in my experience :)
I was a teenage runaway and had a few dealings with the police during that time, won't bore you with that now, funny now they are in hindsight...
I wanted to give something back to the community when I got back on the rails and joined the Specials (in the days before they were called Community officers or whatever - basically you had all the same jurisdiction as a regular, you just worked on a voluntary basis, 30 hours a month-ish)
Spent the first hour of my first shift cringeing in the passenger seat with my 'regular' partner while he and his other 'regular' mate had a filthy 'fner fner' conversation about what they were going to do with me on the back seat later on that night...
Stuck it for a few years though and in retrospect the vile times with the regulars (who saw female Specials as free fuck buddy challenges) loads better than the Specials knobs who'd spend an hour chasing round the town after spotting a guy pissing in a doorway (in the riot van ffs!!)
I have to say though, that my time with the police really opened my eyes (definitely not my legs) and I could see why my former 'friends' had had such a jaded view of them...Last experience I had with the police was during my only violent relationship - the guy I was with had had me down on the ground, kicking my ribs and smashing my face against the pavement (no cctv where we were, he wasn't that much of a trog I guess) and I managed to get away, ran up to a taxi rank - when he followed me and was trying to grab my hair and pull me away as I kicked and pushed him away...only for the rozzers to pull up and try to arrest me for assault...yeah, cos I did a really good job of beating him up, being half a foot smaller, about 3 stone lighter and with a bleeding face and swollen eye.
Cops are cocks...public servants with cs spray and some kwikcuffs...they only don't arrest you silly peeps with your tiny stash of hash because it's too much bother and they'd rather be racing each other than filling in paperwork...
I do apologise for this being totally unfunny and not at all lighthearted...I have some funny stories, may post later :)
nice being back on btw...missed the B3ta x
