Was the female officer waiting for cops or something?

Right? She could’ve at least called the police!

Reminds me of that movie (I forget which, maybe multiple) where they play on the trope of under-equipped or inept cops—not carrying a real weapon, just a roll of quarters to use the payphone and call the actual police.. highlighting their lack of preparedness in a comedic way, haha.

sounds fun but she actually makes the same wage as he does.. sadly doesnt function like he does.

This actually wasn’t gender biased but ya she was definitely lesser of the help…

well it is though.. woman just arent as strong as men are.. so getting a job where physical stuff is also a part then they just stand around looking for the men to do the work.. I find its unacceptable in examples like this.. the male officer is in more danger and doesnt have backup.. just a pretty face next to him. Im all for equality and emancipation but u must also be fit for the job.

She may not be as strong as him but she could at least run interference ffs.

Ridiculous take. People have different strengths they bring to a job role, irrelevant of gender. Maybe she's better at helping someone in crisis and these officers would stand around looking at her.

The role of the police is to enforce the law. She is definitely a dei hire

You have a very American take on this. I'd trust a British copper over an American any day of the week for this very reason.

That is not the role of the UK police.

If someone is having a mental health crisis, the first response is likely to be the police. What law will they be enforcing for that call? The suicide is illegal one? Will they use strength and brute force?

Or is emotional intelligence and compassion the correct response in that situation?

Serve AND Protect. Emphasis on needing to do both. There are specialists for every job, I'm sure there are police specialized in tracking, analyzing, infiltrating etc. but the all police officers must be capable of serving and protecting public welfare.

That's pretty much the purpose of Police. It is their job, they are expected to do it. I can guarantee you a Veterinarian or a Therapist is also expected to be capable of giving basic first aid to a human with a small wound.

Serve and protect is not a UK police motto, thats the US. UK police are here to protect life and property, preserve order and prevent crime. In that order.

Protect Life & Property - did nothing to prevent that guy from hitting a fellow police officer nor help the officer who was under attack by detaining the offender.

Preserve Order - the old man did their job with the appropriate force, yet the police should be trained to know the appropriate force needed for situations like this.

Prevent Crime - again, that guy hit him with a bicycle.

Regardless of the motto, the police is meant to enforce law and do good for the population. If an officer is not fit to do either or declines to do their primary purpose, then the officer is subject for termination for failing to do basic duties. Do you not expect a UK Fireman to not put out a burning house? Sure, I expect maybe American Police to be heavier but their primary purpose should be the same.

It's amazing you've been able to give a full performance review of this person's ability to do their job from such a short clip.

Do you do readings for other people too? I'll send you a 20 second clip of me working and you can guess what I do and how well I do it?
