And from me. I read an article today about the awful flashbacks some of them are having.
Particular thanks to the police dogs too, several have been seriously injured.

Massive thank you from me too

I agree with every one of these comments .. let’s not forget the very brave police horses and dogs that play a part in keeping us all safe too.

Those riots were terrifying. I know it's a policeman's job but I have huge respect for what they do and they really are such brave people to be confronted with such vast crowds of mindless, angry thugs.
Thankyou indeed .

I thank all of them for facing those mobs and I’m relieved my brother is safe.

Agree.

Thank you from me too. Our brave Police Officers deserve our gratitude. They put up with so much disrespect, spat at, vomited on, verbal abuse, physical abuse on top of the dangers they face constantly.
I sometimes wonder why anyone would choose that career in this day and age and conclude that the vast majority just want to make life better for us all.

Oh yes, over and over again.

Wyllow3 Thu 08-Aug-24 21:17:44

Agreed.
And not just those on the streets, those working overtime probably through the nights to put together evidence and cases in order to prosecute. And working together to come up with a national strategy.

I agree - what brave men and women we have ..

How very frightening for the Police and their families at these dreadful times. Special thoughts and grateful thanks to you all and wishing those who have been injured a full and speedy recovery. 💐

100% agreement from me

Jaxjacky Thu 08-Aug-24 20:50:02

Me too, it must be very scary.

Callistemon213 Thu 08-Aug-24 20:35:12

Yes, thank you from me too.
We must not take them for granted.

Thinking of those who were injured, one with two broken legs, another two broken wrists and others with injuries; hope they recover well.

I also agree.

That’s nice Sparklefizz I thank them as well, facing a barrage of missiles and hate isn’t for the faint hearted.They did a good job in arresting miscreants so quickly too.👍🏻

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.
