I would like to say a big thank you and well done to the police who have bravely faced raging mobs throwing missiles. It must be terrifying for both the officers and their families.

Thank you.

Yes a big grateful THANK YOU POLICE from me too. Their poor families must be so worried.

I agree JenniferEccles that poor police women suffering a broken nose, hope they are jailed as they are thugs

My son is due to graduate as a police officer later this month. This is a job he has wanted to do since he was a young child and we are so proud of him for all the effort he has put in. ‘ The world has gone mad Mum’ he said to me earlier this week and I agree. He is anxious, but as he says he has been well trained.

Well done to your son Niochorio. An inspirational young man.

My husband was in the police, now retired, thankfully not front line-I would not have had a minutes peace if he had of been. They deserve every penny they earn & more 😊

& fire services of course, they must have been in the mix, putting out fires 🔥

Shame we can't pass these comments on.

It is, Wyllow, but I’m sure other GNers like me, who are police family, will be passing on the message of this thread. And thank you all. It’s not often these days that police officers get any appreciation, and the vast majority do their level best to keep the rest of us safe.

My lot are seasoned old hands now, but they’re expecting a lot of resignations from younger officers who’ll have been badly affected by what they’ve had to deal with.

JaneJudge Sun 11-Aug-24 19:33:47

yes thank you for everything you do

I’m sure you’re right Maggiemaybe and word will get to the police via family. It’s evident on radio phone ins and msm interviews that there is a huge amount of goodwill and gratitude from the majority to the police.

My dad was a police officer from 1949-1982. We 3 daughters and his grandchildren remain police family. They’re the people running towards danger as we all run away. M

How about thanking the Royal Lifeboat men/women, who face perilous situations voluntarily, at all times of day and night for not one penny, each and every one of them deserves a medal.

I don't think they were involved in the recent riots, were they? 🤔

👍🏻 Calli and Iam. This thread is a thank you to the police who dealt with the tragic death of three little girls and then all the forces that dealt with the disgraceful rioting that followed.
