Dont know how many of you have seen this but recently a group of police officers were filmed sledging down a hill on a riot shield whilst on duty.

Its once again caused "public uproar" to a degree.
My Opinion They're just having a bit of fun. Fair enough if they're on duty they shouldn't have done it, but at the end of the day no harms done. All the people that bang on about the taxes, LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE. I'm not saying they shouldnt be reprimanded, but i don't think they should be fired or anything like that, a slap on the wrist would suffice.
Negative peoples opinion Its "Outrageous", "bloody ridiculous", "Fucking sickening" - yes. they're quotes. "If I did something similar to that i'd be sacked". "This is what we're paying higher and higher taxes for" "Riot shields cost money, but it doesnt matter because WE pay for them".
(Respect to the riot shield, it would have probably gotten scratched doing that, but at the end of the day ITS A RIOT SHIELD. If it cant handle sliding down a hill and then be put back into use then its not good enough at being a riot shield.)
