Nope, just memorable quotes/insults stick in my mind.

You are amazing

Weird, that was the exact words your missus said to me.

I can just imagine what would happen on ARRSE if a Police forum I frequent started an RIP thread for the latest Bill Oddie trashed in the 'stan and someone posted "Oh well thats one less drunken chav at the weekend"/"Silly cnut trying to help Afghan people that couldnt give a fcuk" etc...

The usual dull as fcuk, wet, self important hermers will be on here starting a "Look there is another person that doesnt respect our brave boys - disgusting!!!!" outrage fest of a thread.

Don't put yourself down. I don't believe for a second you would start such a thread.

Are you having a fcuking laugh?

R.I.P.

He did his job and he died. Whilst I agree that RIP threads for plods are a little out of place on a military forum, I think the venom could have been held a little. There is a good chance this man was an ex soldier. In addition, many ex plod of a certain age read the army rumour service because of the way they were trained , having found the younger generation of coppers a little too intense. Some of you need to pull your necks in.

So are you saying that only Army related threads should be started on ARRSE forums?

There must be a high percentage of non mil forums on this site which are just as interesting / funny / informative than mil.

Whilst I have no love or trust of the plod this man did his job to the end and that alone deserves respect. R.I.P Officer

Surprises me how a thread which was started to inform people of the plod has turned into yet another bitch fest with the same old faces chucking the shiite around.

Reminder - this isnt the NAAFI and I hope that this blokes family and friends dont read this. I for one would like to distance myself from and state that some of the poison on here isnt widespread in the forces.

And before anyone blurts out the usual "gallows humour, squaddie humour" shiite - B*lloX to that.

Any death in service of the country is a loss no matter what uniform people wear. Rest In Peace my thoughts and prayers to his family.

Being a HATO in Cumbria, we work quite closely with the traffic police. His colleagues we have come into contact with since this terrible incident have had nothing but praise for him, stating he was a gent and a committed family man. He leaves behind a wife and 4 young children. I respectfully request that no vile banter and slagging off of the deceased takes place as I wouldn't like his family to read it. Many thanks for reading this.

For what its worth, I'm fully in agreement with you

He died doing his duty as best he could.... Total respect for that.

Lets cut the bitch fest and have respect for a fellow uniformed comrade who gave his life for his job!!

RIP big man!!

Thanks lads, it's gratefully appreciated.

No TheHelper.

I believe the guy had 25 years in and would certainly have been trained (as I was) in the old school more military style.

Sadly the days of cutting guys some slack due to them being "forces" have long gone, with the young uns more interested in getting wee gold stars in their notebooks for the amount of folks they charge/report.

I don't see this as in improvement.

This is very sad new , RIP My sincere sympathy to this police officers family ,friends and colleagues

If you hadn't frequented the fridge,
Your bulk would not have fcuked the bridge,
If you avoided chips and pies,
You wouldn't have reached that fcuking size,
But because of your love of a pizza sub,
You became the topic of a post by Chubb (see above)

RIP, it's a bit soggy in here, etc, tec.

Wrong place, wrong time. Shouldn't have happened, but it did.

I'm not an RIP walt like many seem to be, but that doesn't mean that I don't feel compassion for those who will feel the loss of a loved one.

It's not a joking matter. The bloke was doing his job - hindsight is a wonderful thing, IF he'd realised the risk, etc., etc... - and as a result fewer people are suffering the anguish that his family are going through.

Let's leave it at that, eh?
