UK PC: Cop May Be Fired For Referring To Criminal As "Pondlife"
Unbelievable:
A DETECTIVE is facing disciplinary action by his force for referring to a career criminal as “pondlife” in a private conversation with another officer. The detective constable, who faces possible dismissal from his job, has been told that the criminal “might have been offended” had he heard the remark, although he was not present at the time.
Critics call the investigation -- with dismissal as a possible conclusion -- "ludicrous," but that's hardly any consolation. No one should even have to say the obvious.
The guy is a convict several times over, too.
We pretty much lost two wars to these guys? Really? Did the Treaty of Ghent involve our custodianship of their balls?
Thanks to James.
