I love that "officers have been allowed to take time off"... bring back the Victorian age when Holidays were unknown and time off was a Sunday morning to go to church... ha! Allowed to choose to take time off, what next, women with the vote?

Paid to attend a pride rally 🤷‍♂️whilst policing numbers are cut across Scotland, Embarrassing yourself yet again SP. You don’t have to try so hard. What was it you said about context ???😞. 
The last few images are from a police forum, seems like to any right minded individual the concept of paying officers to attend or allocating time off specifically for such an event is met with absolute contempt. Except from yourself of course. 
Read what the former heard of the police federation “ Callum Steele”has said about it.

Hmm, those seem like awfully generic names. Very anonymous. Probably not even real people. 

 

If we are to listen to their opinions, they have to post their full name, address, a passport-style photo, and a short list of their fears, phobias, and allergies.

So if there was a football match attended by a similar number of people, or perhaps in Glasgow one of the orange walks or a similar parade you'd expect no policing there either?

 

 

.. or is it just the gays part that is offending you greatly?

Are you really  that stupid SP ?? 
The police in question were not there to police the event 🤷‍♂️that is explained in the numerous articles that covered the event and the embarrassment caused by police involvement.

They were paid or given time off to attend or be part of the parade. If you think that’s a sensible non political use of police resources then you are seriously delusional.

Yes, time off... holiday... are you saying that the police shouldn't have time off? Or is it just the gay police officers who shouldn't have time off?

So do you think they should be paid to attend and be part of the parade ( rather than police it ) no matter what the parade is about ?

I don't have a strong opinion either way, but the first image posted here was the outrage that police officers were having holidays and using that holiday time to take part in the pride marches. The questions being are police officers allowed to have holidays and can they do what they want with that time off (within the boundaries of societies norms and rules of course).

 

Plenty of police for example will go to a football match in their time off (and in Glasgow, that can get quite political, similarly in cities such as Liverpool or London but not quite so intense), large crowds and with an official police presence, some undercover in the crowd 'enjoying' the game as a part of their duties. You can draw a comparison. In single team cities I'd be betting that some of the official police presence enjoy watching the game, get paid for it. I'd also bet that in the pride marches if there was illegal activity the police on duty would deal with the situation there and then, they are still on duty, still working, same as if they were policing a football game.

I too am failing to see what the issue is with people using their PTO however they choose.

Absolutely backpedaling garbage. 
The article was clear right from the get go. As usual you have made a bloody fool of yourself again due to your obsession.
