tony.c makes you wonder if some of the Essex lot were transfers from the met or not, given the proximity to the Greater London area.

Perhaps the Met outsourced some of their training to Essex.

It''s utterly disgraceful and people wonder why the reporting rate for sexual assaults and rape is so low.

Because the police will caution a rape victim and treat an already traumatised person like a criminal,not to mention attitudes that everyone falsely reports rape. Fucking epic.

[existentialist]

Somewhat sympathetic with the police on this one, lack of healthcare provisions have basically meant they are taking the most acute and volatile cases on. And its clear they are not tasked for that.

It's been the go-to for this disgusting government - hand it off to the army, police, volunteers, unpaid carers, with no thought for the consequences. The police simply aren't the right response for people having MH crises. Sure, it might be good to have them along, but they shouldn't have to be doing the first-line stuff.

I bang on about it often enough, but this is just another consequence of the parlous way in which mental health support is funded and resourced in this country. I can guarantee you that a lot of the time, these people will be ending up in cells because there are insufficient beds in the acute units. And the chances are they'll be rotating-doorsed out just as soon as they stop scaring the horses and the bed's needed for the next one. It's not healthcare - it's firefighting and warehousing.

If the police threatening not to respond actually prompts the government to properly resource emergency MH provision, then it'd be a good thing. But I'm not optimistic.

Yes, very unfortunate, but it's difficult though, isn't it?...someone acting suspiciously in the early hours and flees...a chase is authorised (presumably unlike Cardiff). The guy could have had a knife and been looking for students to stab...in those cases we expect the police to intervene...the guy jumps over a wall onto the tracks and fries himself on the live rail and is found some time later by a helicopter...so we can assume the coppers weren't exactly in hot pursuit at the time of the fatality.

 

[Orang Utan]

It’s kind of reasonable to run away from the police though, isn’t it? I have done in the past

 

[equationgirl]

I think after Nottingham every police force in the country is on edge and hypervigilant especially in the early hours and if someone appears to acting unusually or erratically I can totally understand the police be extra cautious with public safety and being a bit full on.
