Wink wink, say no more...…….

There seems to be many police transferred to inactive posts all the time, because of wrong doing. Must keep the many good police extremely busy with all the on-going investigations. (obviously leaving little time for other important work).

I wish they would publicize the results more often. Especially hearing what sentences the courts are handing out to these criminals, would be interesting!

Probably the only sentences you will ever hear about are those coming out of the mouths of these  upright officials.
