I have no idea of the guilt or innocence of those children but would just point out that children are considered capable of knowing whether or not to kill someone but NOT able to consent to sex. Does this make sense? You decide.
The TikTok video cracked me up, if they are 18, they need a boost of testosterone. How the heck can wearing a coat that's too big for the officer be taken seriously? How are they going to chase a criminal that is about 6 foot?

It was my reaction too when I saw it.
The blond boy appeared to be a nice sweet looking lad with a friendly nature, which is exactly the problem.
They used to say you knew you were getting older when the police started looking young, now it's a case of you know you're about to leave school when the police look younger!
Police do need to project at least some semblance of an authoritative presence on the street in the face of criminals, not be eaten alive by them. It's not the young guy's fault of course not, but he had a sense of humour bout it, that second one looked like he will go far, no sense of humour at all! The third looked like one I've seen myself.
I've bumped into one of these ridiculously young baby faced people myself, a PCSO, in my High Street, she looked well below 18 to me and I was right up next to her. If I'd sneezed I think she would have jumped. She was not even 5 feet tall. A crim could have pushed her over with their little finger.
The sense of humour, the police are very dark ones, like surgeons. It can be amusing, but some is just cruel. When the time is right, it does raise a smile. I have met my partner's former colleagues, they are ok, but most of them do have regrets about signing up for the police force.
My partner was a copper; she wasn't a copper when I met her.
She is ashamed at times to have been in the police force; she even had a few years at the Garda.
PSCO's is one concept I can't get my head around; they have no powers apart from being the eyes and ears for real officers. They are not called 'plastic coppers' for nothing.
Like high street rangers, they are just a deterrent for shoplifters; they do use citizen arrest until a real copper turns up. Rangers, most of the time, will just tell people you are banned from this shop or that shop. I did see some tiny Police cadets last year in a charity shop.
Asking the shop manager for details of a shop lifter, they were all talking over each other; it was laughable to see. The manager asked if there is a real officer who I could talk to, and they looked at her, dumbfounded.
At least I saw first-hand where my taxes were going, dweebs are the new generation of the police.
I remember this going viral a few years ago. The auditor went below the belt, mocking the appearances of the rangers.
The auditor did nothing wrong; it's legal to record outdoors unless it's upskirting or other sexual stuff, and rightly so.
I wish they didn't call them rangers; they are normally failed security guards and police officers who didn't make the grade, which is mind-boggling.
The blond guy was laughing at himself, which people like; it was just gentle jesting. I was hoping he would make a comeback which people love. I have no idea if the half-pint in the TikTok video is a boy or a girl but one jab or hook, they will be sent flying, unless they know martial arts.
Maybe this kind of thing deserves a thread all of its own.
I've watched some of these "auditor" videos in the past few months, often involving legal drone filming use. Last night after writing my comment on here I came across this one which infuriated me. Is this really a random snapshot of the calibre of police in this country now, and look how many swarmed around. You can often tell the sensible officers in these videos, they stay silent and let their colleague look foolish and dig their hole as they mouth off. There is even a retired police inspector in the comments under this one mentioning his disgust at some of this lot. These officers don't even know the law, or even have to check the phone to find out online like any member of the general public would do. There was a really good point made in the comments that I was thinking as I watched this. Did none of them even begin to realise that this could have been some kind of test of their own actions or one of these deliberate auditor set ups? If not, why not between all of those officers who swarmed around this man. Obviously there wasn't much to real work to do that day for any of them, and a lack of common sense.
I really disliked the gobby and aggressive confrontational blonde woman here, Eastern European sounding too, ignorant of the law but feeling very self important. She would have suited Martial Law Poland back in 1981 much better I think. I'd be very worried about her if I was her station boss. Do that few Brits now want to be police officers that we have to import foreign nationals like her.
Certain aspects of these auditors are obviously deliberately goading for reaction, that's the purpose of these videos, but time and again they get shown up all over the place. I wonder if the police filmed here or in others ever actually see themselves or their bosses catch this stuff and act upon it internally to improve themselves.
The usual dregs on the streets and criminal rotters used to refer to the police as pigs or the filth, but we now have a situation where the vast majority of law abiding never in bother middle class middle England hold the entire police in massive contempt and that's a recipe for trouble. Even Rod Liddle was on Talk TV earlier in the week and casually described the police as "the filth" in passing comment on their latest nonsense.

They are capable of neither, as backed by science and centuries of observation.
Children are not capable of understanding killing?
Of course they are. Many very young children even at the age of toddlers recoil from wanting to harm even little insects and kill them by stamping on them. I was like that. Therefore they can understand what killing means and its consequences for the killed at very young ages indeed.
