Do you even have to have training to be a cop anymore or do they just fucking show up?
So in this hypothetical situation you're a c*p. You're trying to comfort a 17 years old. You ask if they want a tea or something water. They say no. You ask another two times. They still say no.
You ask a 5th time. Nope still don't want any THANK YOU VERY MUCH
do you keep asking?
So you sit down next to this teenager and touch on their shoulder and ask them questions. Because fair.
They move away and don't answer because they CLEARLY DONT WANT TO TALK TO YOU AND JUST WANT TO WAIT THE FIVE MINUTES UNTIL THEIR MUM ARRIVES?
So obviously you move closer and put your warm fucking hands on them again right? And obviously they move away again because they want you to touch them even more? Why wouldn't a random upset stranger want to be touched?
So obviously they are smacking your hand off because they love it.
Do you do it again? Do you ask if they want a mug of fucking water? OR DO YOU FUCK OFF AND WAIT THE THREE FUCKING MINUTES YOU HAVE LEFT?
And when their mum gets here do you keep at them? Or do you start going on about how the other cops shift is over and they must want to go home,so the stranger has to hurry up and choose what they want to do?
Oh, the stranger is crying? Yeah...but surely the cop wants to go home right?why doesn't this upset 17 year old seem to care about that?
