Got A Question About Cops, The Law, And Criminals/druggies

[DAS KAMU]

Update on the issue is that, work is sending me to counselling tomorrow as I havent been able to sleep well. The OHS manager told me i had to go and no buts about it. He held a meeting with myself and the sales manager, as technically we should have reported the issues to him when they first put the note on our collegues car (where they called her a c**t). Even without then, we should have reported it on the monday, but i guess having my life threatened I didnt want to risk the staff either. I told the OHS manager that I apologise for not speaking up sooner but also that i had to keep in mind for any repercussions on a wider level.

Seems that he and a local cop did a drive around the estate a week ago - so had we told them about the note, they could have upped the surveillance. I think he had a chat to the project director, but not sure whats happening with the cops as I wasnt called up to go with them - but i am sure it will be fine, because he has the contact (the cop that he went with around the estate) as well as his own brother, who has been a cop/detective for 20 odd years. So in that sense it is good, and we feel safer at work.

As for the building - we are now installing security cameras, hiring security guard to man the building at night - as well as putting a early leave time so that all staff is safe.

For me - I am going to be getting back into the gym as well as joining either the Fighters Factory and train with Murray Thomson or with other professional boxers or an MMA training studio (WLDCRD mentioned it - so thank you for that dude) - to get some fitness and self defense into me - because this thing has opened my eyes a lot. Obviously first thing is to talk down the person and calm them down - but if they attack i need to be able to protect not only myself but also other people around me (i.e my gf, family, friends, even our dogs etc). Dont want to fight no one, but yeah, this incident has opened my eyes - and when I have kids I will also make sure they are able to protect themselves.

I still havent told my family as such about this - just seeing my gf worried was enough for me to decide not to tell them.

Hi mate,

This story has me on the edge of my seat

i heard today that new law is just about to be put in place where suspended sentences will be eradicated for serious offenses. It's not perfect but it is a step in the right direction.

What i don't understand is why it was tolerated before.

My father used to be a police officer he still has friends that are cops he said that these guys don't have assets in their name because if they rough up the wrong person they get sued we need to empower the people that protect us its like having a rottie for protection then saying its bitten a few people lets take its teeth out,sure you have a menace of an animal but without bite its useless.

The cops can stop these little faggots they just need support. So instead of slagging them off realise there is a bigger picture,you do their job deal with what they have to its not great. And i find it funny whenever you have a problem who do you call if you think the coppers are so useless, why did you call them? in the future just accept whats happened and move on.

Oh and that top bloke saying even the cops are scared of him, i doubt that mate.

I glad the counselling session was helpful.

You'll notice that the counsellor isn't doing anything for you - and you notice that...

i) you're moving forward of your own accord - with your own talents and faculties intact

ii) you feel like a survivor - not a victim

iii) you feel more empowered and

iv) you become more resilient

Continuing with it?

the thing that really helps when going to the gym and doing weights is to find some songs that get you really pumped it helps to get those extra reps in. my song that really helps alot is separation of church and skate from nofx, it works everytime . plus a bunch of others, so give that a go .
