pelican & rehctub,
When one of our nurses was threatened at point blank rage with a stubby & to have her face smashed in she eventually managed to call the Police at about 8.30pm. The officer answering the call then told her that he couldn't justify the overtime to attend to her situation.
They did manage to justify some time earlier to use the Police boat to deliver several cartons of XXXX to their mates.
I have every respect & share the concerns of every police officer but I draw the line with cops.
