I saw that on the news. Personally I think it's actually good PR for them, it shows them to be human and having a laugh.
Just wish I had recorded the three paramedics I was third manning with last week sledging using a spinal board. They decided to make it wildly unpredictable and strap themselves down to it and just hope for the best. :shock:Officers don't run, it's undignified and panics the men0 -

"toboganning ... at taxpayer's expense"
oh that old one :roll:
What expense exactly. If they broke the riot shield and had to spend taxpayer's money on a new one, fair enough. Likewise if they'd spent an hour of taxpayer-funded time on duty playing on the snow. But it's 40 seconds ffs.0 -

That's not all, Police officers have also been known to eat, drink and go to the toilet....all at the tax payers expense!...

There's one near me who rides a Police MTB, on duty and appears to enjoy himself whilst patrolling around. He'd be in for the high jump if the boss in Oxford found out.'nulla tenaci invia est via'
