Hi Big Al

From your responses to my imput I can deduce three things:-

1. Your Father was a hero.
2. The Police are superb.
3. I am grossly mistaken/and or a gross liar.

May I say:-

1. Your Father may well have been a hero and it is good that you regard him as such.
2. The Police are not all superb, some are out and out b******ds
3. I am not mistaken nor am I a liar.

I feel you and others have to acknowledge that there are some officers within the force that are in fact a disgrace to the service. Some that distort the truth, some that take bribes, some that are corrupt, some who are bullies, some who break the laws they are there to uphold. As a public servant the Police should be above all the accusations I have listed above, sadly all are not.
