As the wife of a Metro Dade County police officer, I can say that I've seen and heard many horrible things people people do. I remember one morning when he came home from work , he came in the house and went into the bathroom and was sick to his stomach. When I asked him what was wrong, he said his last call was to a house where a baby had been screaming for hours. My husband entered the house and found the baby, alone, but the Baby was covered in cigarette burns all over her little body. People Are Evil. Thank you sir for your wonderful service. You can rest easy with a clear conscience and be proud. Thank you for your honesty.
At one point in my life, I thought I would work in forensics and I also did a little stint in the coroner's court/ morgue. There was a section that they called the " museum" which had photographs of bodies of people who had died in all kinds of ways, including electrocution, crocodile bites, excavator injuries etc with a brief description of their injuries and cause of death. There was also a section that was dedicated specifically to children. I will never forget looking at the images of little children who had died at the hands of their own parents. One particular little boy, who was 2 years old, had skin that looked like ostrich leather as every single part of his body except his face hands, and feet were covered in an evenly spaced, non-random pattern of cigarette burns that were in various stages of healing, another 2 year old had at some stage had just about every bone in his body broken. This was back in the 90's, I am now nearly 60 years old and a mother myself, I can still see these images of these babies burnt into my brain. These people are sick and need to be put out of their misery like a rabid dog. Police like him might not be popular, but they do a service that needs to be done that our "justice" system no longer seems willing or able to handle.
My friend is a firefighter in London. Over the years, they've had a lot of calls for suicides or accidents on the underground. They have the equipment which can lift the train so that bodies can be recovered. One time their call took them to a guy who was pinned under one the the train wheels. He was still alive but the act of lifting the train would have killed him. In such circumstances they ask if there's a relative nearby to get there so they can say goodbye. On this occasion, he had no one nearby. My friend held this mans hand under that train for about thirty minutes, talking to him and consoling him until the light left his eyes. His last words were 'my bottom hurts'. That story still haunts me today. My friend said that experience changed him forever. These professions - police, fire, ambulance, military - they all see the darkest facets of existence and its a thing most of us are insulated from. We have no frame of reference for witnessing such horror. They are the true heroes of our society and they'll always have my deepest respect for doing what they do.
. Life is not fair. I also had a traumatic childhood and no matter how much you try to understand and forgive it handicaps you for lufe. I have very bad claustrophobia because my father's sister used find it funny to smother me with a pillow. A lot of my difficulties in life were directly because of what I suffered.
That's why there's a massive need of more solid social workers. Its an issue in many western countries. There's not enough ressources placed on prevention, early intervention and important. Officers should never go onto these situations without a Social worker.
Today police officers can be 2 foot 12" and can wear a skirt even though there's a todger in her boxers. How on earth is anyone going to take that serious when they're acting like circus clown's. The world's gone bat shit crazy for sure.
the New Zealand police have saved my life twice. they were quick to the scene (2 minutes after my call) because I had a non violence order against the perpetrator .they took him away immediately . they spoke to me with respect and kindness. charged him with assault (in New Zealand the police make the decision to place charges, not the victim). they made good notes that were helpful in court. they never once made me feel like it was my fault. he only got a suspended sentence but those police were my hero's. they made me feel safe. they were big, strong and respectful.
Police and the Crown Prosecution Service authorise charges in the UK. CPS prosecutes. Some other agencies have the power to prosecute too but generally it's down to the CPS.
As a non English person I’m shocked that the public weren’t on the street rioting after hearing the £12m settlement of public money paid for Prince Andrew’s actions
@Dildo Insaney but also that does not work .... people around world are on the streets, and, nothing .... bcs everything they do is "legal" and when people go to protest that is not "legal" that is something against the law .... I think that every normal person when think about the system on the Earth gets angry ...
@olliemunchies5012 that is true when it comes to the civil list but the royal family already has its own wealth especially in Land. The money they receive from the civil list is essentially to run those properties that are essentially owned by the country, Buckingham Palace and Windsor Palace and paying the wages of all the staff. It is also to pay for the travel expenses day-to-day expenses of those royals carrying out royal duties. The money paid to that woman came from the Queen's personal wealth. And if you're going to be grudge the money paid to the Royal family who actually bring more money into the country than it costs us, how about we scrutinise the money paid to politicians. Let's have a look at what's going on in Scotland as we speak and how much money was safe and away from the public into the pockets of members of the SNP.
I agree! Society has become so politically correct it's given real criminals and A holes an easy life. Guys like this guy made sure that real bad people were kept in their place and punished for harming innocent people. In those days you could depend on the police to protect you, nowadays the police are as much use as a chocolate fireguard!🤷
@@taras6806 You are shocked because you are one of the sleepers/normies that will be in for one hell of a shock when the EBS happens worldwide soon. I can't get through to the heavily programmed neighbours so I am not going to try with you.
I'm a 63 year old Aussie. I lived in rural Queensland ( Australia) during the 60's and Tunbridge Wells in the 70's. They were very different place geographically but shared a common theme as the culture was old school. Mr Page is a tell it the way it is Bloke. Obviously you have empathy for others and are genuine.
Agree with so many not all but wealth and power goes to many of their heads because they think they will always beat the law and money will clear everything.!!
The revelations about Prince Andrew's involvement with Jeffrey Epstein are a sobering reminder of the need for accountability and transparency, and I'm curious to see how this story will continue to unfold.
Sometimes, it's really hard to see those people in power using it for their own benefit. Really interesting topic and intriguing at the same time. Hope to see these kinds of discussion in OTR!
Back in 1956 I was 4 years of age, my friends and I were playing up on the railway lines, 2 beat cops came along seen us playing on the railway tracks, the cops shouted on us to come down, my friends all ran away, I went down to the cops. Let me say that was the best thing that happened to me, the 2 cops said to me that it’s wrong to play on the railway line, then it was good cop and bad cop, i still laugh to this day about what went on, one cop said that he was taking me to the police phone box, he pretended to phone for a police van to take me to jail the other cop said give the lad a chance he is only a kid, the other cop said no he is going to jail this went on for a few minutes good cop bad cop, the bad cop then said if you can make it to your tenant before I count to 20 I will let you go but if you don’t you are going to jail, let me tell you I was counting as I was running and I just made it to my home. Years latter I always thought about what happened and had a good laugh and I bet the 2 cops also had a good laugh at the time. As it happens one of my friends that ran away that day returned to the railway, he lost an eye.
On the off chance you read this, up north I had a similar scare. I am now 73 female. I was 12 walking up the street with a couple of friends same age eating a chocolate bar, finished it threw the wrapper down on the floor and started to walk on with my friends. Oh you, a policeman staring straight at me, I nearly wet my knickers. He shouted pick that up, find a bin. I did immediately, never forgot it. Respect these days belongs to themselves, how did this happen.
My mother and father always taught me to respect my elders that is the reason we respect life. I think it’s good to hear that others have a similar experience. We all learn from our parents from the day we are born.
I love this man's way of speaking. "guys who could start a fight in an empty room" Perfect! And I appreciate his honesty and compassion for domestic violence victims who until only recently had 0 support structure available whereby to get away from their abusers and for children who have suffered so horribly at the hands of p**philes.
It was a failure of the Queen not to have made sure that her children would have been reported on if they were misbehaving, as with any parent, or high placed individual who ought to know that being connected to power and priviledge would go to the heads of their children and connections.
Don't forget Mountbatten, the biggest abuser of all. Wonder if he abused Charles? He at least sems to have made the idea acceptable considering Charles ties to Saville.
The queen signed away the people's sovereignty decades ago, she and her family are heads of the WEF agenda and ain't what you think hence she silenced not only Megan's assaults and bullying against royal staff, she covered up Andrews crimesvtill 2065 , even his latest in the Ukraine against a 10 Yr old girl and a 13 Yr old boy found naked and traumatised in his present company. And the media do not report his crimes as they are all in it together, just like the BBC did with Jimmy Saville.
Amazing interview. I put this on late at night to listen to while i tried to sleep…didnt help, been totally absorbed to every word, now 3.52am! 😂 I love brutal honesty like this. Really refreshing in a world of over sensitive hypocrites
American here, regarding the policing, my husband was a police officer in the US Air Force, he was called to a accident scene off base, it involved a a airman, he had wrecked off base, and they needed some extra hands my husband responded, he crawled into the car to help to identify the individual, as he got in the car he found a child's car seat, when he turned it over, because it wasn't secure, he found the baby barely recognizable, the car seat was like a ping pong ball that had bounced all around the car. After helping there, then he was tasked with informing the wife on base about her dead husband and child. Then he had to carry on with the rest of his nite.
Great point After clearing a major incident workers should be replaced with other workers. Trauma dealing gaps. Sometimes if its a major event earthquake foe example their are no breaks for anybody. In this instance there would be available staff to do a change over, you can not expect humans to keep carrying on. They need time to process grief. Give your husband a big hug for being an amazing legend. The baby restraint belt didn’t snap? The baby was restrained in the child capsule so its odd the capsule was not belted in. RIP to the baby and husband 💕❤️🩹💛
No officer should ever have to do that. Instead of a toxic bro code where you keep quiet and are ridiculed when you go for therapy there should be a real support system for everyone doing such hard work. ❤ Your husband did a truly heroic thing carrying that load and delivering it to the wife. ❤❤❤
Police officers do this day in day out. I know, I’m the wife of one the mother of another. My Dad was one for a time my uncle, and numerous cousins and now a nephew. The Air Force officer’s story is sad but moderate. I know because as a wife you hear, you become the counselor, the therapist, the confessor. You seek therapy yourself for secondary trauma. Especially if you love your spouse. It isn’t something no one should have to do. It is something they do so the public doesn’t have to and so the public is protected and somewhat safer than if they weren’t doing their job. They are not perfect. But the most of them do their job because they really believe they are helping. Even if the public is being lead to believe differently these days. At least here in the US. Maybe in the UK it is better.
I was a young Scally and have been beaten up by police a few times. But you know what, it did stop me doing anything too stupid in life and after my teen years I’ve never been in any more trouble again, and honestly, as a man now, I miss the old days of community police presence on the streets. I lived on a rough council estate, and the police would drive around two to five times a night and they pretty much knew the whole community by name. In my life now I rarely see a police officer out there apart from blue lights on call. I kinda miss the old days. Thanks for your brutal honesty in this interview.
The story about Andrew confirms what he is all about. I like Paul, as an Aussie, he really says it like it is 'warts and all'; he is courageous and 'real life'. Well done!
Can you please come and interview my mum. She was a registered mental health nurse and she has so much to tell you that you will inspired as well as know the other dark sides of NHS managers in the hierarchy. Please
I had Aunts(fathers side) who were MH nurses in the late 70’s into the mid 90’s, they all had breakdowns each. I even have gifts from some of the residents they looked after .
Love this. My mums a civil servant and if she tried to speak out about corruption or bullying she would be shut down and her pension taken. So, the public never know what a civil servant does or has to go through. It can make you incredibly jaded. Especially when youve been working there for 30+ years. Working in a job centre you see those that deserve the help and those that systematically abuse our welfare system. Its hard to see the good sometimes.
If your mother has lawful evidence to support her claims she ought to talk to her Trade Union representative. Silence is not the answer as it is just encourages the bullies or those involved in corruption.
No laws apply when it comes to Aust govt, the legislative acts literally say things like " no government employee or agent shall be liable for the commision or omission of anything in this Act" . And most Australians have no idea because they dont read their own outrageously lengthy and cumbersome legislation.
He is what ever police officer should be! He couldn't charge those men but he made them aware he's was watching and it scared them!! Thats a real cop in my eyes!! Thats protecting
Until recently I worked in a charity shop for 17 years. I just listened here about the guy who tried on women’s clothing (usually lingerie) and going into the changerooms and masturbating (usually on the mirror). This is more common than you think. Thank God for people like this man. All respect to you. Still watching this video, but just had to comment about this….
I’m literally sat outside an ancient temple in Malaysia in 40 degree heat. I was gonna go inside but I have 5 minutes of the video left and his story is enthralling
A mate of my husband’s worked on the same detail with this guy and once at Balmoral, he said Princess Margaret sent down a pair of house slippers to him because he was making so much noise as he marched back and forth beneath her window 😂 I always doubted that story but hearing confirmation of the detail that Prince Philip would yell out his window confirms the story.
They should have thought themselves lucky these officers were protecting them, left to me I'd let criminals do what they wanted to them. Money grabbing leeches stealing off the tax payer who live on naff all to keep them in bloody luxury and protected. What about normal citizens who have no protection from scum bags like paedophles, poor kids like this brave man told us about, the young lad drunk on the railway line who had been systematically abused and handed round like a bag of sweets to paedos, cried for that boy, he was some mum's child at the end of the day. No child should go through that, no little girl at school should receive notes of dirty paedos saying what they wanted, if I had my way they would lose what is between their legs permanantly so they can never hurt a child again. better still, they can go to hell and fry where they belong.

How astonishing and what a man. Thank God he lived to turn his life around. It's the hardest most important thing a person can do is confront themself. 😮😮
I still don't understand how the justice system can justify giving protection and worry about the human rights of the same individuals who are out there raping and molesting boys, girls, men and women. These sickos do no deserve anything but solitary confinement until the end of their day!
Because he's royalty & privileged. He will never be held fully accountable. That's the way it is for these guys. It always has been. Always will be. Aggravating and unfair. But true.
Beating any offender up without evidence is a waste of time and we need real offenders arrested, investigated, charged and locked away conducive with their crimes. Beating them with no evidence and then putting them back on the street to do their crime again.
With all due respect we all dealt with that crazy old man or woman who just think they are better than everyone and then be unreasonable. Look at the millions of adults flocking to reform. Clearly have prejudice views and stoke hatred. Vast majority of children are well behaved and respectful. Perhaps we just need to invest in them. Parents are scarred to let them out/can’t be bothered. There are no real facilities for them. Green spaces are disappearing and the streets are busy with people who can’t be bothered to walk 5 mins and therefore drive.
I really like this guy. So honest, rough but full of compassion. I sure would have felt safer when he was around. What a switch going from that life to protecting someone like Andrew.
Helping others also helped you emotionally. I call it part of the self healing. You did well lad. Never show fear as that is the same as becoming a magnet that would attract the many to you in a negative way.
ALL phedophiles should be put away for life whyyyyyyyyyyy are they allowed to roam around schools abusing innocent children BLESS YOU PAUL THANK YOU 🙏❤️🙏✌️ PAUL You didn't fail Your a HERO
because the whole royals are involved, the queens mother threw tea parties that the predos brought their victims to, Philips mentor was convicted, Charles best friend was jimmy saville... need i go on? i haven't watched the interview yet, but if he doesn't mention any of this, he's been very complicit and is only talking about andy because he's already been exposed. Charles even has a bunch of kiddy charities that group together vulnerable children, the princes trust.
From my heart I thank you 🙏 for taking these men off the street. My stepdad in the USA was my monster and took me to England to sell me to other men. No one protected me. It was the mid to late 70’s/80’s. The beautiful memories I do have were viewing the Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace. Bless you might your heart heal!!
He reminds me of what Dr. Jordan Peterson says, "You never get away with anything." It's been true for me. I really enjoyed this interview. God bless y'all.❤
I lived in a community were, if a womans husband gave her a beating, other men of the the neighbourhood would pay the bloke a visit and give him a pasting. Dockers and trawler men. It was of the time.
The sad thing about this is that often it leads to more violence against the woman back at home, as a form of revenge. Vigilante justice might feel good, but sometimes it can make things worse for victims. (I listen to a lot of podcasts and read a lot of stories from abused people, and this is one reason sometimes victims can be scared tell anyone).
I once [allegedly] beat the crap [I didn't stop to allegedly check, but it allegedly smelled like it] out of an alleged Pa.edo. Alleged feedback from the public would suggest you want the Police going 'round doing people over they don't know or know of ? You belong in 1940s Germany. I can understand someone doing someone over for the topic in question, allegedly, in an instant reaction when it's family, or step family [allegedly], but this Pig is a fraud. IF he was worth a bob, why ain't he flappin' his jaw over who he saw jailed, rather than just who he claims to have met ? Prince Andrew is [allegedly] able to evade scrutiny due to his bullshitting servants, dontcha know ? I note, with interest, the EX Officer CONVICT seems to have completely avoided 'exposing' anything that would breach the secrets act and only keep him out of gaol [well, we are talking 'royal' ?] if it held water in ['His Majesties' Grinz] court. So Tracy, you would vote for vigilantes being legally allowed to beat or chain up predators ?
This American daughter and niece and mother in law of detectives and cops, I know what the job does to officers. What I find so AMAZING is this man’s total honesty and lack of placing blame on others, taking responsibility for his actions. I hope so very much that you will forward this to the officer, I can guarantee you that you have not lost your life. You just made some serious mistakes ( the Bible is full of stories about people who made terrible decisions, like King David. Jehovah forgave him and at the end of his story Jehovah called him ‘ blameless’. ) and put the brakes on, and turned around. I’m proud for you sir, your American cousin whose family immigrated here from Aberdeen sends warm wishes and much admiration. Think of the good you can do by helping kids with your story, your ex colleagues, and your friends. My father went to prison, as the result of an injury and a defective drug. He was released after 26 years and I am haunted by prison memories. You hold up that head….
I dont believe you failed as a police officer. You had a job to do to and i believe you were fair. No easy job for you to do. I really like your honest interview.
Grown men running about as if its the end of the world because he forgot to open a gate. Tiptoeing on gravel. You wouldn't know this was 2023. Basically bullying other human beings because they're 'supposedly' more important than other human beings.

I grew up in Scotland, Aberdeen was a very quiet place during the 60's before North Sea Oil. Where we lived we were surrounded by police officers and CID detectives. There was only one who ever spoke to the local children and that was to give us a row for being too noisy. During my first job I worked for the local department of Motor tax and car registrations. We had the police come in on a regular basis looking for a match to a partial registration number. So we had a good idea how they were, and like one gentleman stated he too would prefer Paul's policing from the 70's onto the early 90's. I too would like those policemen back again. It felt safer going home after Saturday night's dancing with my friends. Even the majority of the guys would stick up for you if anyone got idea's that you didn't want. We could leave out front doors open and still felt safe.
@linjoy Thanks for sharing. ❤ Yes, my Grandparents said they never locked their doors. It's hard for me to imagine that now. Everyone went to church on Sundays too.
@@luv2travel2000I grew up in Ireland and it was the same, back in the day. Sundays were for Church and then Sunday school. I had to go to Sunday school till I was 15 ! I went dancing 💃 on a Friday night with my mates, even though I wasn’t allowed to, I just lied through my teeth, because “everybody else” was there, and then had to put on my Sunday coat and hat 👒 and traipse off to Church on Sunday. I figured it was a fair exchange.
No we do not - we need criminals arrested, charged and off our streets - but too often thugs like this cop would beat anyone innocent or not. A court is there to punish offenders and not the police!
@@karenhogan-t5w Tell that to the "Real" victims of crime seeing as it appears you have never been one. Not to mention your nonsensical belief in our ineffective judicial system...
Thank you for your honesty! Don’t ever stop telling the truth about anyone, no matter how big & mighty they think they are, they are no more than the ordinary human being on the street, no more! Many good wishes & happiness to you👍
Enjoyed that interview , was told in the early 90’s about Andrew being a complete bell end to his staff in the way he talked to people. As for the type of Police officer Paul was …..I’m 55 and can remember the type of policing Paul was referring too I’d rather have that than the type of officers we have now . Paul if you read this …fair play to you mate 👍
So all of those unchecked rapes and killers were cool too? It seems like there was no accountability and while some may have learned to be decent law enforcement, others looked away when their blue bothers engaged in criminal behavior? Are you talking about "the good old days" where the police looked away to let royal pedophiles run amuck? The officer talks about the weaknesses in the law for domestic violence and protections for victims of rape.
I’m 68 and I can remember it too. In our village we have the usual troublemaker. Mick village police man always mix with us young ones make sure we were all okay and we all had the greatest of respect for him. The troublemaker was getting a bit rowdy so Mick said keep the noise down so the trouble may maker a walk to Mick and Said andwhat are you going to do about it well Mick gave him a good hiding That pleased every single one of us.
Same here. I see a retired superintendent at the local gym. He says that, back in the day, someone who was being an absolute arse would be taken around the back of somewhere quiet and given a kicking. They'd know not to do it again and never to mess with the police.
Great interview...👍👏😊 He didn't fail as a police officer...he was a decent human being who saw the worst & the most deviant of human beings. Anyone seeing those kind of horrific scenes must suffer from PTSD. Yikes! 😳😕
I really like this bloke for his honesty. @30.00 him revealing some of his colleagues had ' gone mad', now that is another whole story he could tell. It would be interesting to discover what actually knocked them over the edge of normality.
you did not fail as a police officer. just because the law says one thing, doesn’t always mean its moral. the overlooking a few joints is a perfect example of that. the law for obvious reasons has to be the most basic black and white set of rules. but life can never be black and white so a good cop will always be a cop who can read between the lines.
If it is ok to overlook a few joints, then it shouldn’t be illegal in the first place. Unjust laws shouldn’t exist for police to cherry pick when they want to enforce them.
@@buttercxpdraws8101That is a naive simplistic view of how the Police should operate. Simple question would you rather have an Officer like this who uses his discretion and thinks of the negative implications an arrest could have on an individuals life or an Officer who arrests everyone without consideration for their personal circumstances?
I couldn't have put this any better myself in my eyes all coppers should be like this still now am nearly 40ban all the new coppers look about 20 to 25 to me there only baby's in a uniform, there was nothing wrong with how it was we new as kids we where in the sh*t if the copper took you home for being a sh*t lol😢😮, the reason I say this is because there are to many kids that think there invisible to everyone an can do what ever they want bring bk the old school f*ck em they need to learn the way we had to DONT FIX WAT IS NOT BROKEN xxx
In the early 90s and in my late teens and 20s I was regular in the back of a pig van for fighting at weekends and being a nuisance and he would of been the type of copper that I would have been fighting and abusing I was a twat and so was a lot of police .I was asked to beat people up for them. And they told me of times they had beat people up and I witnessed them beating lads up. I'm a law abiding citizen now and in my late 40s and am polite and respectful to the law these days. It's nice to see a honest cop saying how it was then.
Only half way through, + I love how this guy talks. There’s a feeling of real truth in what he says, how he says it, truth, authenticity + acceptance. Great guy. Great podcast. Very articulate man.
THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR HONESTY YOUR INTEGRITY THAT JOB IS SO DIFFICULT ITS ALMOST INHUMAN YOU DONE YOUR BEST YOU ARE A GOOD MAN THE HARDEST ITS LIVING WITH ALL THOSES HORORS I SALUTE AND HONOR YOU GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Another good interview, definetly one of the best interviews IMO. Very honnest and straight forward. Yeah Police have abit of a sketchy reputation but you can tell alot of what he did as a cop was from a fair place, its very hard to be impartial when you have to deal with some of the unscrupulous people, who somehow slip through the cracks of a justice system, and only get brought to justice when things have gone too far. Look all you can ask is that people that accountability for things they done wrong regardless if they had good intentions or not. Fair play to this man.
Fair play to the guy. I was in the Royal Navy and the amount of stories I have heard of Sailors who had to work with Andrew and what a piece of shit he really was/is. Always thought he was better than anyone else
This was fascinating! He told his story so clearly and effectively. I really took the emotional journey with him (and still feel a little gut tied to be honest). Paul is very lucky to have made it through physically and also to have gained psychological/insightful perspective at the other end of it all. Very proud of his ability to be honest and take responsibility for his actions. Great interview!
makes me laugh how much of an effort this guy is making not to swear, and seeing as this is every second word I credit the guy with amazing self control!
I always struggle with this kind of thing now. I used to be a full on police supporter. To me they where there to help you and as long as you are good to them and act within the law then you will be fine. Until recently. I put my trust in the police and turned to them for help. They convinced me to trust them and I did. Then they basically screwed me over and left me exposed. I wish I’d never asked them to help me. They made my situation so much worse because they went full on gun ho. In the end nothing was sorted and me and my family had to be afraid. Only 2 cops where kind enough to apologise for what the other 8 officers did and give them their due, those 2 cops told me to come to them if I need them. But I’ll never trust cops again. I’ll never believe them when they make promises
same. I was nearly killed. The police where ..no words. I was mixing with the wrong ppl but I was pushed into giving evidence because someone had done something to a female cop. Before that they did not want to help. I`m thinking of writing about but changing the names etc because I`m still looking over my shoulder and always will. All the best to you.
@@anthonyhowrard526 all best to you too mate. Always shocked to see it’s not just me. I genuinely believe that old school coppers would have been more helpful. The cops that screwed me over where all under 25 and I honestly think they couldn’t have cared about me and my family. To them I was a tool to use and my safety was secondary. I hate that I don’t trust police now. It’s something that genuinely bothers me
@@gump5ter01 Thanks Bro. Years ago I used to work in a menswear shop and the local police would come in for a brew so I got to know them really well. A few years latter I may or may not have been a really bad drug dealer, making no £, and one of the cops I used to know stopped me in the street and told me that drug squad knew what I was up to and said it would be best if I stopped. The same cop saw me pissing in the street and shout `oi what you..... oh its you Tony` and we had a chat. lol The police where different back then and i can totally understand why things had to change but police here is a mess.

Look at this man. That's what having a backbone looks like. About time someone had the balls to deal with the matter. The system doesn't care about abused children. To think it does is naive.

Absolutely fantastic interview 👏👏
I really appreciate the lack of whining. Straight up honesty.
As the wife of a Metro Dade County police officer, I can say that I've seen and heard many horrible things people people do. I remember one morning when he came home from work , he came in the house and went into the bathroom and was sick to his stomach. When I asked him what was wrong, he said his last call was to a house where a baby had been screaming for hours. My husband entered the house and found the baby, alone, but the Baby was covered in cigarette burns all over her little body.
People Are Evil.
Thank you sir for your wonderful service. You can rest easy with a clear conscience and be proud. Thank you for your honesty.
At one point in my life, I thought I would work in forensics and I also did a little stint in the coroner's court/ morgue. There was a section that they called the " museum" which had photographs of bodies of people who had died in all kinds of ways, including electrocution, crocodile bites, excavator injuries etc with a brief description of their injuries and cause of death. There was also a section that was dedicated specifically to children. I will never forget looking at the images of little children who had died at the hands of their own parents. One particular little boy, who was 2 years old, had skin that looked like ostrich leather as every single part of his body except his face hands, and feet were covered in an evenly spaced, non-random pattern of cigarette burns that were in various stages of healing, another 2 year old had at some stage had just about every bone in his body broken. This was back in the 90's, I am now nearly 60 years old and a mother myself, I can still see these images of these babies burnt into my brain. These people are sick and need to be put out of their misery like a rabid dog. Police like him might not be popular, but they do a service that needs to be done that our "justice" system no longer seems willing or able to handle.
My friend is a firefighter in London. Over the years, they've had a lot of calls for suicides or accidents on the underground. They have the equipment which can lift the train so that bodies can be recovered. One time their call took them to a guy who was pinned under one the the train wheels. He was still alive but the act of lifting the train would have killed him. In such circumstances they ask if there's a relative nearby to get there so they can say goodbye. On this occasion, he had no one nearby. My friend held this mans hand under that train for about thirty minutes, talking to him and consoling him until the light left his eyes. His last words were 'my bottom hurts'. That story still haunts me today. My friend said that experience changed him forever. These professions - police, fire, ambulance, military - they all see the darkest facets of existence and its a thing most of us are insulated from. We have no frame of reference for witnessing such horror. They are the true heroes of our society and they'll always have my deepest respect for doing what they do.
. Life is not fair. I also had a traumatic childhood and no matter how much you try to understand and forgive it handicaps you for lufe. I have very bad claustrophobia because my father's sister used find it funny to smother me with a pillow. A lot of my difficulties in life were directly because of what I suffered.
That's why there's a massive need of more solid social workers. Its an issue in many western countries. There's not enough ressources placed on prevention, early intervention and important. Officers should never go onto these situations without a Social worker.

@Nicky L MORE HONEST THAN ANY COP
Today police officers can be 2 foot 12" and can wear a skirt even though there's a todger in her boxers. How on earth is anyone going to take that serious when they're acting like circus clown's. The world's gone bat shit crazy for sure.
Internal honesty too. He put his hands up and said yeah I did that. I was an idiot. Very refreshing to see. Most politicians could learn from him.
the New Zealand police have saved my life twice. they were quick to the scene (2 minutes after my call) because I had a non violence order against the perpetrator .they took him away immediately . they spoke to me with respect and kindness. charged him with assault (in New Zealand the police make the decision to place charges, not the victim). they made good notes that were helpful in court. they never once made me feel like it was my fault. he only got a suspended sentence but those police were my hero's. they made me feel safe. they were big, strong and respectful.
thanks for sharing such a nice respectful story
Police and the Crown Prosecution Service authorise charges in the UK. CPS prosecutes. Some other agencies have the power to prosecute too but generally it's down to the CPS.
As a non English person I’m shocked that the public weren’t on the street rioting after hearing the £12m settlement of public money paid for Prince Andrew’s actions
@Dildo Insaney but also that does not work .... people around world are on the streets, and, nothing .... bcs everything they do is "legal" and when people go to protest that is not "legal" that is something against the law .... I think that every normal person when think about the system on the Earth gets angry ...
Public money? Queens money
@@guywilloughby3383 The Queens/Kings money IS the publics money.
@@guywilloughby3383 where you think she gets that money? From her shift at the bookies?
@olliemunchies5012 that is true when it comes to the civil list but the royal family already has its own wealth especially in Land. The money they receive from the civil list is essentially to run those properties that are essentially owned by the country, Buckingham Palace and Windsor Palace and paying the wages of all the staff. It is also to pay for the travel expenses day-to-day expenses of those royals carrying out royal duties. The money paid to that woman came from the Queen's personal wealth. And if you're going to be grudge the money paid to the Royal family who actually bring more money into the country than it costs us, how about we scrutinise the money paid to politicians. Let's have a look at what's going on in Scotland as we speak and how much money was safe and away from the public into the pockets of members of the SNP.
This is the kind of guy I want to protect me, my children and my community! It’s not perfect but his morals are admirable.
Really!

I agree! Society has become so politically correct it's given real criminals and A holes an easy life. Guys like this guy made sure that real bad people were kept in their place and punished for harming innocent people. In those days you could depend on the police to protect you, nowadays the police are as much use as a chocolate fireguard!🤷
You want a bent cop to protect your family and community? People like you are a big the problem
I usually find it hard to listen to an interview for so long, but I watched all of this and was glad I did. Man is honest and accepts himself.

Wow - every single word is fantastic / why are people fascinated in celebrities when there are real life stories like this!
Agree with so many not all but wealth and power goes to many of their heads because they think they will always beat the law and money will clear everything.!!
But if everyone hears and likes this guy, by definition he is now a celebrity. So all celebrities must be interesting to some type of folks.
True
I admire his total honesty... Very rare these days in certain scenarios.
The dude is shady and people are commenting like he is some hero. 😊
Paul did the best thing - he became honest in the nick. Big strength. Respect to him.
Fantastic interview & interviewer. Appreciate the straightforward honesty & saying it how it is. Huge respect for that quality in a person.
The revelations about Prince Andrew's involvement with Jeffrey Epstein are a sobering reminder of the need for accountability and transparency, and I'm curious to see how this story will continue to unfold.
It won’t, that’s why he was killed as too many men were involved with Epstein
Justice must always be true and no individual should abuse the power of the law, truth will always prevail.
The truth will always come out.
Agree with this, no matter who we are we need to obey the law.
Sometimes, it's really hard to see those people in power using it for their own benefit. Really interesting topic and intriguing at the same time. Hope to see these kinds of discussion in OTR!
Back in 1956 I was 4 years of age, my friends and I were playing up on the railway lines, 2 beat cops came along seen us playing on the railway tracks, the cops shouted on us to come down, my friends all ran away, I went down to the cops. Let me say that was the best thing that happened to me, the 2 cops said to me that it’s wrong to play on the railway line, then it was good cop and bad cop, i still laugh to this day about what went on, one cop said that he was taking me to the police phone box, he pretended to phone for a police van to take me to jail the other cop said give the lad a chance he is only a kid, the other cop said no he is going to jail this went on for a few minutes good cop bad cop, the bad cop then said if you can make it to your tenant before I count to 20 I will let you go but if you don’t you are going to jail, let me tell you I was counting as I was running and I just made it to my home. Years latter I always thought about what happened and had a good laugh and I bet the 2 cops also had a good laugh at the time. As it happens one of my friends that ran away that day returned to the railway, he lost an eye.
On the off chance you read this, up north I had a similar scare.
I am now 73 female.
I was 12 walking up the street with a couple of friends same age eating a chocolate bar, finished it threw the wrapper down on the floor and started to walk on with my friends.
Oh you, a policeman staring straight at me, I nearly wet my knickers.
He shouted pick that up, find a bin.
I did immediately, never forgot it.
Respect these days belongs to themselves, how did this happen.
We always played on the railway lines but luckily never got caught 😮
My mother and father always taught me to respect my elders that is the reason we respect life. I think it’s good to hear that others have a similar experience. We all learn from our parents from the day we are born.
He lost the sight in one eye.
I hope your lifetime experience have been useful throughout your life.
I love this man's way of speaking. "guys who could start a fight in an empty room" Perfect! And I appreciate his honesty and compassion for domestic violence victims who until only recently had 0 support structure available whereby to get away from their abusers and for children who have suffered so horribly at the hands of p**philes.
I couldn't understand him.
@@zakstev. Me too! It took me a while to relax my ears and brain before I found his rhythm. It’s worth it.
Exactly the same feelings! Love how he talks…
@@ccsullivan9164LOL. I thought I was the only one, something rhythmical, very engaging + relaxing about how he speaks + what he speaks about!
Yes historically it was the police looking out for and protecting victims of domestic violence!
It was a failure of the Queen not to have made sure that her children would have been reported on if they were misbehaving, as with any parent, or high placed individual who ought to know that being connected to power and priviledge would go to the heads of their children and connections.
I adored Her Majesty - still do - but you're right. He should have been brought up short many, many years ago.
Don't forget Mountbatten, the biggest abuser of all. Wonder if he abused Charles? He at least sems to have made the idea acceptable considering Charles ties to Saville.
The queen signed away the people's sovereignty decades ago, she and her family are heads of the WEF agenda and ain't what you think hence she silenced not only Megan's assaults and bullying against royal staff, she covered up Andrews crimesvtill 2065 , even his latest in the Ukraine against a 10 Yr old girl and a 13 Yr old boy found naked and traumatised in his present company. And the media do not report his crimes as they are all in it together, just like the BBC did with Jimmy Saville.

One of thee best interviews I've ever watched, really have to respect Paul's honesty
American here, regarding the policing, my husband was a police officer in the US Air Force, he was called to a accident scene off base, it involved a a airman, he had wrecked off base, and they needed some extra hands my husband responded, he crawled into the car to help to identify the individual, as he got in the car he found a child's car seat, when he turned it over, because it wasn't secure, he found the baby barely recognizable, the car seat was like a ping pong ball that had bounced all around the car. After helping there, then he was tasked with informing the wife on base about her dead husband and child. Then he had to carry on with the rest of his nite.
Wow that's tough 🙏❤️
FIRST RESPONDERS OFFICERS NEED RESPECT YOU NEVER KNOW 💯 WHATS GONNA HAPPEN ON YOUR SHIFT GOD BLESS 🙏 YOU
Great point
After clearing a major incident workers should be replaced with other workers.
Trauma dealing gaps.
Sometimes if its a major event earthquake foe example their are no breaks for anybody. In this instance there would be available staff to do a change over, you can not expect humans to keep carrying on. They need time to process grief.
Give your husband a big hug for being an amazing legend.
The baby restraint belt didn’t snap?
The baby was restrained in the child capsule so its odd the capsule was not belted in.
RIP to the baby and husband 💕❤️🩹💛
No officer should ever have to do that. Instead of a toxic bro code where you keep quiet and are ridiculed when you go for therapy there should be a real support system for everyone doing such hard work. ❤
Your husband did a truly heroic thing carrying that load and delivering it to the wife. ❤❤❤
Police officers do this day in day out. I know, I’m the wife of one the mother of another. My Dad was one for a time my uncle, and numerous cousins and now a nephew. The Air Force officer’s story is sad but moderate. I know because as a wife you hear, you become the counselor, the therapist, the confessor. You seek therapy yourself for secondary trauma. Especially if you love your spouse. It isn’t something no one should have to do. It is something they do so the public doesn’t have to and so the public is protected and somewhat safer than if they weren’t doing their job. They are not perfect. But the most of them do their job because they really believe they are helping. Even if the public is being lead to believe differently these days. At least here in the US. Maybe in the UK it is better.
I was a young Scally and have been beaten up by police a few times. But you know what, it did stop me doing anything too stupid in life and after my teen years I’ve never been in any more trouble again, and honestly, as a man now, I miss the old days of community police presence on the streets. I lived on a rough council estate, and the police would drive around two to five times a night and they pretty much knew the whole community by name. In my life now I rarely see a police officer out there apart from blue lights on call. I kinda miss the old days. Thanks for your brutal honesty in this interview.

Can you please come and interview my mum. She was a registered mental health nurse and she has so much to tell you that you will inspired as well as know the other dark sides of NHS managers in the hierarchy. Please
I had Aunts(fathers side) who were MH nurses in the late 70’s into the mid 90’s, they all had breakdowns each. I even have gifts from some of the residents they looked after .
Honestly, I'm so glad Paul is telling his truth at saying it like it is.
I appreciate people that take responsibility for their actions, good & bad.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love this. My mums a civil servant and if she tried to speak out about corruption or bullying she would be shut down and her pension taken. So, the public never know what a civil servant does or has to go through. It can make you incredibly jaded. Especially when youve been working there for 30+ years. Working in a job centre you see those that deserve the help and those that systematically abuse our welfare system. Its hard to see the good sometimes.
If your mother has lawful evidence to support her claims she ought to talk to her Trade Union representative. Silence is not the answer as it is just encourages the bullies or those involved in corruption.
No laws apply when it comes to Aust govt, the legislative acts literally say things like " no government employee or agent shall be liable for the commision or omission of anything in this Act" . And most Australians have no idea because they dont read their own outrageously lengthy and cumbersome legislation.

He is what ever police officer should be! He couldn't charge those men but he made them aware he's was watching and it scared them!! Thats a real cop in my eyes!! Thats protecting
Appreciate the honesty of this gentlemen, even if some of his accounts aren't favourable to listen to. Respect.
Paul's so honest! Appreciate that!
I've always said, police walk around with PTSD and therapy should be mandatory.
Until recently I worked in a charity shop for 17 years. I just listened here about the guy who tried on women’s clothing (usually lingerie) and going into the changerooms and masturbating (usually on the mirror). This is more common than you think. Thank God for people like this man. All respect to you. Still watching this video, but just had to comment about this….
Couldnt you have reported it and banned him?
I could listen to this man for days, and I'm sure he would have enough stories to fill days of listening!
I’m literally sat outside an ancient temple in Malaysia in 40 degree heat. I was gonna go inside but I have 5 minutes of the video left and his story is enthralling
A mate of my husband’s worked on the same detail with this guy and once at Balmoral, he said Princess Margaret sent down a pair of house slippers to him because he was making so much noise as he marched back and forth beneath her window 😂 I always doubted that story but hearing confirmation of the detail that Prince Philip would yell out his window confirms the story.
They should have thought themselves lucky these officers were protecting them, left to me I'd let criminals do what they wanted to them. Money grabbing leeches stealing off the tax payer who live on naff all to keep them in bloody luxury and protected. What about normal citizens who have no protection from scum bags like paedophles, poor kids like this brave man told us about, the young lad drunk on the railway line who had been systematically abused and handed round like a bag of sweets to paedos, cried for that boy, he was some mum's child at the end of the day. No child should go through that, no little girl at school should receive notes of dirty paedos saying what they wanted, if I had my way they would lose what is between their legs permanantly so they can never hurt a child again. better still, they can go to hell and fry where they belong.

I still don't understand how the justice system can justify giving protection and worry about the human rights of the same individuals who are out there raping and molesting boys, girls, men and women. These sickos do no deserve anything but solitary confinement until the end of their day!
And that includes police
I agree with your opinion...but the majority of the abusers have been abused themselves is a vicious circle of abuse but it has to be stopped.
Because he's royalty & privileged. He will never be held fully accountable. That's the way it is for these guys. It always has been. Always will be. Aggravating and unfair. But true.
My thoughts are with the survivors of Epstein's abuse, and I hope this exposure brings them a sense of justice and closure.
Beating any offender up without evidence is a waste of time and we need real offenders arrested, investigated, charged and locked away conducive with their crimes. Beating them with no evidence and then putting them back on the street to do their crime again.

We need those old days back where neighbours told kids off etc and the police officers were respected and kids behaved because of it!
With all due respect we all dealt with that crazy old man or woman who just think they are better than everyone and then be unreasonable. Look at the millions of adults flocking to reform. Clearly have prejudice views and stoke hatred. Vast majority of children are well behaved and respectful.
Perhaps we just need to invest in them. Parents are scarred to let them out/can’t be bothered. There are no real facilities for them. Green spaces are disappearing and the streets are busy with people who can’t be bothered to walk 5 mins and therefore drive.
I really like this guy. So honest, rough but full of compassion. I sure would have felt safer when he was around. What a switch going from that life to protecting someone like Andrew.
Exactly !!!
Helping others also helped you emotionally. I call it part of the self healing. You did well lad. Never show fear as that is the same as becoming a magnet that would attract the many to you in a negative way.

I lived in a community were, if a womans husband gave her a beating, other men of the the neighbourhood would pay the bloke a visit and give him a pasting. Dockers and trawler men. It was of the time.
The sad thing about this is that often it leads to more violence against the woman back at home, as a form of revenge. Vigilante justice might feel good, but sometimes it can make things worse for victims. (I listen to a lot of podcasts and read a lot of stories from abused people, and this is one reason sometimes victims can be scared tell anyone).
What a man! Despite what he committed, he's an honest, strong person, who is inspirational.
he is inspirational indeed firstly when he joined the police
@@rosslyndeleus7940 ...and yet he knows nothing about the RF. Not the truth anyway. Read what I put above in the comments.
I don’t think you failed at all in your duties as a police officer I think you delivered the justice the public would want on these predators
Very humane justice
Andrew was pals with Jimmy Savile
I once [allegedly] beat the crap [I didn't stop to allegedly check, but it allegedly smelled like it] out of an alleged Pa.edo. Alleged feedback from the public would suggest you want the Police going 'round doing people over they don't know or know of ? You belong in 1940s Germany. I can understand someone doing someone over for the topic in question, allegedly, in an instant reaction when it's family, or step family [allegedly], but this Pig is a fraud. IF he was worth a bob, why ain't he flappin' his jaw over who he saw jailed, rather than just who he claims to have met ?
Prince Andrew is [allegedly] able to evade scrutiny due to his bullshitting servants, dontcha know ? I note, with interest, the EX Officer CONVICT seems to have completely avoided 'exposing' anything that would breach the secrets act and only keep him out of gaol [well, we are talking 'royal' ?] if it held water in ['His Majesties' Grinz] court.
So Tracy, you would vote for vigilantes being legally allowed to beat or chain up predators ?
I don't condone some of the policing methods described in this interview, but I can see the logic of it and no doubt these methods were effective.

This American daughter and niece and mother in law of detectives and cops, I know what the job does to officers. What I find so AMAZING is this man’s total honesty and lack of placing blame on others, taking responsibility for his actions. I hope so very much that you will forward this to the officer, I can guarantee you that you have not lost your life. You just made some serious mistakes ( the Bible is full of stories about people who made terrible decisions, like King David. Jehovah forgave him and at the end of his story Jehovah called him ‘ blameless’. ) and put the brakes on, and turned around. I’m proud for you sir, your American cousin whose family immigrated here from Aberdeen sends warm wishes and much admiration. Think of the good you can do by helping kids with your story, your ex colleagues, and your friends. My father went to prison, as the result of an injury and a defective drug. He was released after 26 years and I am haunted by prison memories. You hold up that head….

I grew up in Scotland, Aberdeen was a very quiet place during the 60's before North Sea Oil. Where we lived we were surrounded by police officers and CID detectives. There was only one who ever spoke to the local children and that was to give us a row for being too noisy. During my first job I worked for the local department of Motor tax and car registrations. We had the police come in on a regular basis looking for a match to a partial registration number. So we had a good idea how they were, and like one gentleman stated he too would prefer Paul's policing from the 70's onto the early 90's. I too would like those policemen back again. It felt safer going home after Saturday night's dancing with my friends. Even the majority of the guys would stick up for you if anyone got idea's that you didn't want. We could leave out front doors open and still felt safe.
LOL you're so full of it.
@linjoy Thanks for sharing. ❤
Yes, my Grandparents said they never locked their doors. It's hard for me to imagine that now. Everyone went to church on Sundays too.
@@luv2travel2000I grew up in Ireland and it was the same, back in the day. Sundays were for Church and then
Sunday school. I had to go to Sunday school till I was 15 ! I went dancing 💃 on a Friday night with my mates, even though I wasn’t allowed to, I just lied through my teeth, because “everybody else” was there, and then had to put on my Sunday coat and hat 👒 and traipse off to Church on Sunday. I figured it was a fair exchange.
We need more police officers with attitudes like this man.
truly inspiring to have a policeman like him , hoping so many of them
No we do not - we need criminals arrested, charged and off our streets - but too often thugs like this cop would beat anyone innocent or not. A court is there to punish offenders and not the police!
@@karenhogan-t5w Yes, his perspective is alright so long as the police only target the genuinely guilty, but I'm sure that didn't always happen.
@@karenhogan-t5w I think you missed my point
@@karenhogan-t5w Tell that to the "Real" victims of crime seeing as it appears you have never been one. Not to mention your nonsensical belief in our ineffective judicial system...
Thank you. Paul for being so honest and telling it as it is.
What a pity the UK Police couldn't recruit more like you now
Well said
Agreed,the police now are a joke !!!
Yep, that’s what we need in the police…lying, thieving convicted fraudsters who ruined people’s lives! 😂
His story is horrific but yet the way he tells it I can’t help but laugh so hard. He gives a very descriptive visual.
I have to respect this man for being honest and true full.
Policing was so different back in the day .
Really enjoyed this podcast.x
The last five minutes were the best. Home truths, facing his real self.
Absolutely fantastic interview. Fair play to him for his honesty.
Thank you for your honesty! Don’t ever stop telling the truth about anyone, no matter how big & mighty they think they are, they are no more than the ordinary human being on the street, no more! Many good wishes & happiness to you👍
What an amazing guy, he has pretty much changed my opinion on the Police, by educating me and making me think on what they really have to tolerate.
Enjoyed that interview , was told in the early 90’s about Andrew being a complete bell end to his staff in the way he talked to people.
As for the type of Police officer Paul was …..I’m 55 and can remember the type of policing Paul was referring too I’d rather have that than the type of officers we have now . Paul if you read this …fair play to you mate 👍
So all of those unchecked rapes and killers were cool too? It seems like there was no accountability and while some may have learned to be decent law enforcement, others looked away when their blue bothers engaged in criminal behavior? Are you talking about "the good old days" where the police looked away to let royal pedophiles run amuck? The officer talks about the weaknesses in the law for domestic violence and protections for victims of rape.
bell end 😂
I’m 68 and I can remember it too. In our village we have the usual troublemaker. Mick village police man always mix with us young ones make sure we were all okay and we all had the greatest of respect for him. The troublemaker was getting a bit rowdy so Mick said keep the noise down so the trouble may maker a walk to Mick and Said andwhat are you going to do about it well Mick gave him a good hiding That pleased every single one of us.
Same here. I see a retired superintendent at the local gym. He says that, back in the day, someone who was being an absolute arse would be taken around the back of somewhere quiet and given a kicking. They'd know not to do it again and never to mess with the police.
@@thomasreed49 was his name Mick or was he just Irish?
Say what you like, old school policing worked better than the courts today.
Well done and thanks. Both in your profession as a police officer and as a person. Your honesty is commendable because people can’t trust a liar.
Great interview...👍👏😊 He didn't fail as a police officer...he was a decent human being who saw the worst & the most deviant of human beings. Anyone seeing those kind of horrific scenes must suffer from PTSD. Yikes! 😳😕
I really like this bloke for his honesty. @30.00 him revealing some of his colleagues had ' gone mad', now that is another whole story he could tell. It would be interesting to discover what actually knocked them over the edge of normality.
Honest words, honest approach. Kudos for the in-depth explanation!
you did not fail as a police officer. just because the law says one thing, doesn’t always mean its moral. the overlooking a few joints is a perfect example of that. the law for obvious reasons has to be the most basic black and white set of rules. but life can never be black and white so a good cop will always be a cop who can read between the lines.
If it is ok to overlook a few joints, then it shouldn’t be illegal in the first place. Unjust laws shouldn’t exist for police to cherry pick when they want to enforce them.
@@buttercxpdraws8101if only life was that simple 🙄
@@buttercxpdraws8101That is a naive simplistic view of how the Police should operate. Simple question would you rather have an Officer like this who uses his discretion and thinks of the negative implications an arrest could have on an individuals life or an Officer who arrests everyone without consideration for their personal circumstances?
Reading between the lines on the law is NOT enforcing the law as it stands. That’s how corruption and abuse of power happens.
I couldn't have put this any better myself in my eyes all coppers should be like this still now am nearly 40ban all the new coppers look about 20 to 25 to me there only baby's in a uniform, there was nothing wrong with how it was we new as kids we where in the sh*t if the copper took you home for being a sh*t lol😢😮, the reason I say this is because there are to many kids that think there invisible to everyone an can do what ever they want bring bk the old school f*ck em they need to learn the way we had to DONT FIX WAT IS NOT BROKEN xxx
In the early 90s and in my late teens and 20s I was regular in the back of a pig van for fighting at weekends and being a nuisance and he would of been the type of copper that I would have been fighting and abusing I was a twat and so was a lot of police .I was asked to beat people up for them. And they told me of times they had beat people up and I witnessed them beating lads up. I'm a law abiding citizen now and in my late 40s and am polite and respectful to the law these days. It's nice to see a honest cop saying how it was then.
Only half way through, + I love how this guy talks. There’s a feeling of real truth in what he says, how he says it, truth, authenticity + acceptance. Great guy. Great podcast. Very articulate man.
THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR HONESTY YOUR INTEGRITY THAT JOB IS SO DIFFICULT ITS ALMOST INHUMAN YOU DONE YOUR BEST YOU ARE A GOOD MAN THE HARDEST ITS LIVING WITH ALL THOSES HORORS I SALUTE AND HONOR YOU GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
This was a great interview! Well worth the time invested.
I was one of them battered wives and went to police station bruised and bleeding but the police did nothing. It was classed as a domestic situation 😡
That must have been decades ago, attitudes and the law have changed dramatically.
Did you leave him after the first time?
Yeah and if you were a cop your husband would be dead or behind bars for decades. (In the States, now or 50 years ago)
@@NickNick-tp5crwow.
No bullishit straight to the point good man beautiful soul 🙏
Another good interview, definetly one of the best interviews IMO. Very honnest and straight forward. Yeah Police have abit of a sketchy reputation but you can tell alot of what he did as a cop was from a fair place, its very hard to be impartial when you have to deal with some of the unscrupulous people, who somehow slip through the cracks of a justice system, and only get brought to justice when things have gone too far.
Look all you can ask is that people that accountability for things they done wrong regardless if they had good intentions or not. Fair play to this man.
Don't ever doubt that you are a good man and a terrific policeman. Respect!
Fair play to the guy. I was in the Royal Navy and the amount of stories I have heard of Sailors who had to work with Andrew and what a piece of shit he really was/is. Always thought he was better than anyone else
This was fascinating! He told his story so clearly and effectively. I really took the emotional journey with him (and still feel a little gut tied to be honest). Paul is very lucky to have made it through physically and also to have gained psychological/insightful perspective at the other end of it all. Very proud of his ability to be honest and take responsibility for his actions. Great interview!
Thank you for sharing your story.
We need more such people like you, Paul! You're sooooooo honest and trustworthy!
makes me laugh how much of an effort this guy is making not to swear, and seeing as this is every second word I credit the guy with amazing self control!
interesting honest human, keep on being honest Paul, need more real humans like him, a stand up guy
Really enjoyed this interview
Thank you both
I always struggle with this kind of thing now. I used to be a full on police supporter. To me they where there to help you and as long as you are good to them and act within the law then you will be fine. Until recently. I put my trust in the police and turned to them for help. They convinced me to trust them and I did. Then they basically screwed me over and left me exposed. I wish I’d never asked them to help me. They made my situation so much worse because they went full on gun ho. In the end nothing was sorted and me and my family had to be afraid. Only 2 cops where kind enough to apologise for what the other 8 officers did and give them their due, those 2 cops told me to come to them if I need them. But I’ll never trust cops again. I’ll never believe them when they make promises
same. I was nearly killed. The police where ..no words. I was mixing with the wrong ppl but I was pushed into giving evidence because someone had done something to a female cop. Before that they did not want to help. I`m thinking of writing about but changing the names etc because I`m still looking over my shoulder and always will.
All the best to you.
You should write about it may help you heal also would be somthing ppl would find interesting
@@ladybabcockpeaceandlove6467 been putting it off. Will do. at least it might help me. I was a mess for years but got help. but its still with me.
@@anthonyhowrard526 all best to you too mate. Always shocked to see it’s not just me. I genuinely believe that old school coppers would have been more helpful. The cops that screwed me over where all under 25 and I honestly think they couldn’t have cared about me and my family. To them I was a tool to use and my safety was secondary. I hate that I don’t trust police now. It’s something that genuinely bothers me
@@gump5ter01 Thanks Bro.
Years ago I used to work in a menswear shop and the local police would come in for a brew so I got to know them really well. A few years latter I may or may not have been a really bad drug dealer, making no £, and one of the cops I used to know stopped me in the street and told me that drug squad knew what I was up to and said it would be best if I stopped. The same cop saw me pissing in the street and shout `oi what you..... oh its you Tony` and we had a chat. lol
The police where different back then and i can totally understand why things had to change but police here is a mess. We need cops who know Us, are families and live in the same area.
Anyway all the best and if you want to talk or are in the NW UK give a shout and we can have a beer.
Good on him for giving the wifebeaters a slap on sight
What about the men that have been falsely accused?
@@davidhopkins848 If he was falsely accused why did he pay said accuser £12m to keep quiet?
Plus most men who are falsely accused don't hang around with convicted nonces
Andrew was lucky that no one had give him a good beating after being fed up with his insults, rude behavior and bullying ?
Yeah, I might have hauled him out of his car.
He should be meet with somebody alone in dark corner without his bodyguard ,I wonder if he would be so strong ?,he is only strong with his mouth
🇨🇦👏Awe Paul you are so honest !,
Thank you for sharing your story ,🙏🏻
Much respect ,
Best regards ❤
Look at this man. That's what having a backbone looks like. About time someone had the balls to deal with the matter. The system doesn't care about abused children. To think it does is naive.
Brilliant story. A great guy who tells it like it is.👍👍👍
I can totally understand his perspective and I respect him and his honesty.
Great advice, Paul Page, for the solution about moving forward
Good to hear your story. You have taken responsibility and done the time. Wish you well and move on with the rest of your life with honesty
Anyone attending Carter St police station, SE London, would totally confirm his claims about policing in the 60's through to 90's
Thank you for sharing, really enjoyed listening to your story
“Greed changes your personality.” “I started losing my morals; perhaps I didn’t have any in the first place” 😂. Pure gold.
He said "People" not perhaps...
Well same dif
