If a Martian was to visit Limerick, what would he make of the police if, he was to listen to the media only. He wouldn't hear that the community cop was above in my son's class yesterday explaining the rules of the road, or that one of the lads above in the local is a retired policeman, or that clatter of kids who play outside my house, well their father is a plain clothes detective. Each of these individual cops are honest to goodness, decent men and are ashamed at the McBrearity situation and also the Dean Lyons tragedy and all the other fuck ups. Yes, the media have a positive role to play in getting the shit our there, but surely we must be careful not to tar them all with the same brush. There's a dank and stagnant morale problem in the police force now, and they're fearful too. The joe-soap cop gets is major pissed off with the coverage the uniform is getting and yet, he still has to take the scumbag heat. We should be mindful of his plight.

I'm far from anti-police. What I'm against is bad policing. The sooner we get a solid professional doughnut-free police force the better. When that happens, I'll be the first to advocate giving them draconian powers. You have me wrong. I'm far from anti-police. What I'm against is bad policing.

( But you do this very well ! ) Good luck Hey Bock,
