I’ve been a copper for a long time. I’m at the point when I can’t remember anything else.
Despite the comments from many on here I am immensely proud of what I do.
I don’t seek your approval, what I do seek is an understanding that we are the same, we want what’s best for ourselves and the people we care about.
In my work, which is more than a job for me I try to help people, I also try to enhance the reputation of the police with every interaction I have with people I have cause to speak with.
I care deeply about society, can see the erosion of communities, the fact that there are people in society without the main ingredient that you cannot live without and that is hope. I am aware of this fact when I have to consider why sometimes people do things that are wrong.
I’ve seen so much violence that I’ve become desensitised to it, I’m not a violent person or a bully but have had to confront things that many would run from.
If you met me you wouldn’t think I was a bobby, you’d probably think I was an average blue collar bloke, a builder, labourer, plasterer etc.
For the last few years, I’ve been a detective. I spend 80 percent of my time speaking to people who have been sexually abused. I interview kids who have had horrendous things done to them, its hard on you believe me, it messes with your head, it saps your soul. The job has taken things from me that I can never get back.
People treat me differently when they find out what I do for a living. I was once at a BBQ, having a laugh with some lads, getting on well. I went to the toilet, the window was open. I heard one lad say to another “**** me, you didn’t tell me he was a pig, I thought he was sound, sneaky ****” my wife and kids were there ffs. Irony was this lad was 5’2” and probably about 18 clem. Calling me a pig?? I wanted to go home but didn’t.
If I caught a colleague breaking the law, I’d nick him in a heartbeat.
I do not tell lies ever!
This is the only social media I use, I’ve read comments on here from people whose posts usually make me laugh, I have tried to picture what they look like. The comments they have made upset me in all honesty.
I can’t put the news on without seeing people slating the police. Admittedly there’s been some shocking things done by people who call themselves police, nobody is angrier than me about it!
I am from a mixed race family, I feel it’s worth mentioning as many are of the belief that black people don’t trust the police, for obvious reasons this really bothers me.
I am considering giving FMTTM a miss, it’s a shame as I like it on here.
Even people I love tell me I’ve changed, they ask me what’s happened to ‘the old me’
I’ve got a colleague or two who frequent this site and I’ll probably get the **** taken out of me for this post.
UTB.
