Police Ignore 21 Phone Calls from Suicidal Mother

[Octorok]

I'm genuinely appalled at that list at the ed of the article. Not about the fact that no police showed up when kids were mooning their house, but that her fucking son was beaten with a pipe, shoved into a van and injured in a fight and the best response was - "Contact school". I know that there's more to this, but shitting Christ, what are the police for if they just ignore that kind of occurrence? They're all too busy shooting immigrants who look shifty, or people whose cases have unusually sharp edges.

EDIT : I'm not meaning to condemn the entire police force for a few mistakes, but this goes beyond human error. Failure to stop regular assault is ridiculous.

Hey, it's their job. WHether they like it or not, they CAN'T ignore someone calling for help.

It's like the fire department laws in several states. If a call comes in about a fire that needs to be put out, it's illegal for the firemen to not respond. They could face felony charges, even if they think it's a prank. You do not joke about these matters.

I'm not going to be moved by this. Unless I see more evidence, then the police are at fault.

I know it's their job and it is partly their fault, but they couldn't of known the outcome. And like it says (again stressing the point that the papers won't have revealed everything and let's face it, it's going to be biased against the police) they did investigate to a certain degree. They then tried to advise her based on what they thought the scale was.

When they questioned others in the road, people might have said they'd never seen anyone or known of her to say about anyone, or that she was usually over reactive to things like it. You've got to judge situations as best you can, and you can't investigate every minute detail of everything - there isn't the time, man-power or resources available to them.

Don't hate police officers, hate the people who tell them what to do. If they can't come out to a robbery, it's probably because their superior has had them do something else. They do the best job they can while dealing with incompetent superiors, and while some will be pricks, most will be decent people.

Another reason for liking cops.

No, they should be convicted of manslaughter, but they still walk free. They should rot in a cell for the rest of their lives.

Police officers are not intelligent people, they get into the career due to the amount of power it gives them. These were supposed to be the elite riot cops, they beat up a man for no reason then left him on the ground.

Many of the police removed their badge numbers while they were at the protests so that they could do what they like with no fear of retribution.

What happened to the 16 year old dyslexic son?

The people who bullied the mother need to be locked up for a few decades for manslaughter.

I also think the police force should be fined heavily for letting this happen.

Just another day at work-

Like I said, some are pricks. Some are good people who would be more than willing to help out if needed, and some simply get on with what they're told to do.

Now, I'm going to assume you're a teenager, as I've rarely met any adults who hate the plice force, aside from those who are constantly getting dragged to the cells by them. Working on the basis that you're a teenager, I imagine you don't like it when you hear that you are going out every weekend and stabbing random folk, while scaring old ladies by hanging round in your street gang, and being an idiot because this generation is the most stupid yet. Hell, it irritates me. This perception stems from merely reporting the bad, never the good. Now, when was the last time that a policeman doing a good job made the news? It doesn't, which is more to do with the lack of good news in that, than the rarity of its occurence. Many policemen catch criminals each day, but unless it was a high profile case, we don't hear about it. Actually, we only hear the times they fuck up, which may skew one's perspective, if he doesn't look around and ask more questions.

Its in the Mirror. I wouldnt trust the publication as far as i can throw it.

Its a shame, But im sure Social services have let her down too, And the council.

 

[Azraellod]

i get the feeling that every cop who answered should be charged with manslaughter, but if the police were really that fucking short-handed, then that isn't really going to help matters.

the bullies should definitely receive a manslaughter charge though.

 

[similar.squirrel]

I give up. We deserve every fucking thing that happens to us as a species. This is disgusting, and everyone is to blame.
One can only pray for the nukes.

Oh yeah, because one bad thing should drag down the entire species.

Also I might have taken pity on the mother if she had not killed her daughter. She had no right to do that, and now she is no better than the one's that tormented her.

 

[Housebroken Lunatic]

And if they've made inquiries and they've misjudged the situation (again, only human) and they think it's less severe than it is and the lady kept ringing up - it's not irrational or totally illogical to think she may be worrying too much about what is probably nothing.

Uh, wait a minute. 21 Inquries along with the fact that it was a mother to a child who had some disabilities. You'd think that the police should be able to add two and two together and NOT just assume that it's just a mom who's worrying "too much".

Let this be a lesson folks: Take the law into your own hands, and cover your own ass rather than trust the police to save you from anything...

"one" bad thing?

You haven't checked the tally of humanity lately have you? : )

I completely agree with Samaritan Squirrel on this one. I hope to death that mankind get's wiped out as soon as possible. Hopefully the next species will be more worthy of living. This one has played out it's hand centuries ago...

My point is that every time something bad happens, you all go "oh humanity we sucks. We should all kill ourselves". Yet whenever we do something good everyone just goes "oh, well that's cool I guess". Humans do things that are both good and bad, but it seems like nobody remembers this. All they remember is the bad.

Oh and if you truly believe that humanity should be wiped out, then you should kill yourself.

EDIT: Here's an idea. Instead of complaining about this stuff, become a police officer and make it your goal to stop it. But obviously you won't do that.

 

[Catchy Slogan]

Does anyone else find it odd that the Police are getting the majority of the blame, instead of the assholes that drove her to this? People make mistakes, it's part of what makes us human. I know it's sad and no-one should ever have to go through life living in fear, but it's not an ideal world. The world is full of pricks like that and sometimes it's hard to read people, and see what they're likely to do.

I'm sure some of those officers are feeling guilty, because contrary to what the media portrays them as, they are not all heartless bastards. The police are grossly understaffed, and have been for quite sometime, and more often than not, they get held back by red tape.

I know it's a terible shame whenever one of these stories comes to light, but we don't have all the facts, so it's best to keep the options open and not assume. You do know what assume means right? Making an ass out of you and me.

 

[Housebroken Lunatic]

That doesn't make any sense. If I die before the rest of humanity then the point im making will be useless. I have to live for as long as possible, just to make sure that the extinction is done properly.

EDIT: Here's an idea. Instead of complaining about this stuff, become a police officer and make it your goal to stop it. But obviously you won't do that.

In order to become a police officer you have to have some sort of belief in society as a concept. I lack such a belief.

Then of course there's the fact that im a misanthropic and hateful person who stopped caring of the ailments of others a long time ago.

I guess I should've occupied myself with playing more videogames or something rather than actually taking a look at what people do to eachother. That way I could've lived in blissful ignorance like you and the rest of the majority of citizens from industrialised nations.

Extermination really is the only fair course of action...

 

[Private Custard]

Here, the neighbours deal with these things themselves.

I don't know where 'here' is for you, but 'here' in England, people get stabbed/bludgeoned/kicked to death for daring to confront youths nowadays.

And if they survive, they're usually arrested for hurting said youths feelings or some shit anyway.

I'm all for vigilantes in ski masks, they'd be a shitload more effective than our over-politicised police force.

I'm gonna assume you are affiliated with the police...

In fact, I'm gonna go an ASSUME whatever the hell I like.

I honestly don't care about the good stuff they do, that's their fecking job! They are supposed to catch criminals, do I get a pat on the back for doing my job well? No! Do I get punished if I do my job badly/not at all? Yes.

Lets face it, if I pushed that guy over I'd be in a cold cold cell.

Of course. You people always have some stupid excuse to keep yourself alive. You also always have some reason to not get off your ass and help people. And your excuse for not helping people is not even an excuse. You can still do volunteer work and generally work towards a better society. But of course you won't do that, because you're just like every other selfish person that says humanity should be destroyed.

If the world does end, it's because of pessimistic people that do nothing to help anyone.

 

[Zersy]

It's more shocking how she killed herself.... what a violent and brutal way to go.

but here's something even more sad , the fact that something as tragic and bad as this will happen again and again and again and be posted here again and again and again and we will simply have the same cycle of comments until everyone just stops caring which is useually by their second or third post.

I guess maybe I am a misanthrope.

 

[Skeleon]

No, you don't get it, they're too aloof to help any of us lowly peasents with our meaningless lives, scuttling around on this doomed planet, harming and killing each other. We're not worthy of their divine contribution.

Seriously, if that's what being part of the "elite" means, I want to be as average as possible.
But this kind of feigned misanthropy and arrogance are very popular 'round here...
