British police caught sledging with their riot shields

submitted by Hybrid

1 decade 5 years ago

"I have spoken to the officers concerned and reminded them in no uncertain terms that tobogganing on duty, on police equipment and at taxpayers' expense is a very bad idea should they wish to progress under my command," Supt Murray added. - BBC News

I guess they ran out of photographers to intimidate that day.

The modern equivalent of "swords to plowshares"?

Moving this video to Hybrid's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Oh come on....let them have a bit of fun for the thankless job that they do.

God forbid the scolds allow this vale of tears to be periodically punctuated by joy.

They finally found the correct use for a riot shield; and here they thought they were for bashing sculls. Silly police.

I'll bet no one had a problem with this until 'taxpayers money' was mentioned. And even then it was just the Daily Mail and Guardian readers.
