I like that you posted this but feel sad that you and others have to go through this sort of shit. I've worked with disadvantaged people for decades and seen and heard some terrible things. I'm eternally grateful for the work you and your colleagues have done and continue to do.

Cheers, mate. Much appreciated. In fact, if command management was as gracious and understanding as the general public, there would be fewer resignations and instances of mental illness.

wow ...thats taking jealousy to a whole new level ...
imagine spending time locked up in a super max prison because someone set you up ... surely the investigation would have seen he had no case to answer for a hell of a lot quicker than that though

What a great snapshot of life in 1961.
Most exciting!
The guy at the end made me laugh

Great that we can talk about these things these days.

Indeed. Never a truer word spoken.

Rampant crime committed by immigrants at an unprecedebted rate. Couple months ago a refugee threw a live grenade into a police station for example.

Could of just given the Swedish Police an Ikea flatpack , and really f**ked them up with their own s**t.

The coppers there take you out the back and beat you with bags full of left over Allen keys and screws. The drink driving test is having to recite there product list Klobspunkt, Floggrapst, Knoodlefist....

Is the Klobspunkt their equivalent of our white pages?

Thanks, JB. I appreciate your kind words. I have largely got it under control. Interestingly, a couple of my melts on here told me to revisit my attitude to it. It does surface from time to time and manifests in peculiar ways.The problem in my day was no one knew what we were dealing with. Half the office at Homicide was either heavily self medicating with grog (me included) while the other half Was on prescription drugs for anxiety.

I remember being asked to fetch something from a colleague's draw one day. In it i couldn't help noticing a bottle of pills labelled "Haliperidol". An anti-psychotic!

For me it was always the death of kids thst got me. The ICU at the Children''s hospital must be the saddest place in the world. Turning off life support on anyone is traumatic enough, but there's something especially tragic when it's a three year old. The last straw for me was a case near Shepparton, where a six year old had been r*ped so badly, her hips were dislocated and she'd bled to death. She was discarded near a truck stop like a piece of garbage. I went home and told my ex missus i wasn't going back. And i didn't. I never told her why. I didn't mix business and family.

Was prosecution witness in murder case , was sitting waiting for several hours , one of several
Homicide cops brought up the subject of some of the worst that they had been involved in
bloody chilling listening to it , particularly the violence to women who were treated like garbage.

So many posts I would like to like, but 'liking' them would be inappropriate.
Should be an appreciate button instead.

Lock the trouble makers up in an IKEA Store.

Less chance of escaping from there than from a maximum security prison.

Indeed, Stewart66. It took me a long time to realise that most people get very distressed by what had become routine for us. When it gets to that stage, it's time for a change. One of the biggest battles we faced was convincing people these things actually happened and that there were perpetrators capable of carrying out such acts. Very sad.

When I was a teenager I always wanted to go to Sweden. After watching my first stick movie on an 8mm I was convinced the place was full of beautiful blonde girls who walked around naked and had sex with everyone.

 

[VDS66]

so William Allen and Henry Phillips invited the Allen key and Phillips head respectively...

And Textron invited the Torx bit. Go figure.

Deep diving into The Teacher's Pet, the true crime podcast that has resulted in the charge and arrest of Chris Dawson for the alleged murder of his wife in 1982.

It is rivetting.

Yeah, I saw a TV story that was made from the podcast content and had to go back and listen to it. It was really engrossing. Making a Murderer on Netflix has that same riveting true crime theme. Worth watching if you have a spare 2 weeks.

Well I've had my operation and have a bunch of staples in my back. Hurts like hell at the moment especially when I try to move. I'm lying on the bed staying as still as possible. The sharp pain I get feels like a knife cutting into me. Just have to wait until my body recovers.


Go Saints

Best of luck with it all mate!
It will get better, not that your focussing on that
When your in agony!

Try to distract yourself with vision like
The Magnificent Sweedish Chef above to get you through!

Love that dude...He has made my day!

Nothing wrong with a good APS upbringing. Unless you're from Scotch.

I like scotch.

I like scotch.

Can’t argue..

Live in the moment.

The past is gone and the future hasn't arrived.

I’m still trying to work out how the sound of a perfect watermelon sounds. Man I have gone through some watermelons recently.. At least the kids are happy.
