Supt Andrew Murray: Idiot of the Day

Sheesh Supt, lighten up.

Police officers filmed using riot shields to sledge down a snowy hill while on duty have been reprimanded.

The footage of a group of officers on Boars Hill, Oxford, was taken by Rick Latham on Tuesday. He posted it on the file-sharing website YouTube.

Mr Latham said they were only there for a few minutes and praised the officers for having a "sense of humour".

Supt Andrew Murray said those involved have been spoken to and advised that their actions were a "bad idea".

this is the first time i have witnessed, if only by proxy, police officers having a jolly time. the last was when i was a little kid many years ago watching them have a football kick-about with some local lads.

so, they used a bit of plastic my taxes had helped to pay for and were supposedly on duty at the time. well, whoop de doo, what naughty little boys.

taxes well spent, in my opinion.

as for supt. murray, poor sod has to come the heavy father in this climate of political correctitude, don't he? get out there with them old man. it's a pleasure to see them enjoying themselves for a change.

I agree - what with all the shit these men and women have to go through on Friday and Saturday nights, they deserve a little light relief.
