Drunk Trentham police officer Scott Bradbury was four times legal limit

“get the drinks inn......................”

“Tuttut
Try using punctuation, such as full stops and commas occasionally,then the rest of us will have a clue what you are on about you poorly educated jackass”

“DJofTNE
You misunderstand me, I am making no excuses for his actions and i am certainly not a police officer,I was merely pointing out that the price he has paid has been much higher than most.”

“Tuttut - good job your wife listens eh?

She has my sympathy.”

“I think this is a perfect example of Broken Britain, when the riff raff & law breakers of our waining society become the victims in the small minds of missinformed people,proper deterrants need to be put in place to try & dissuade these people from breaking the law not giving them a pat on the back & here you go have another chance we won't treat you like a bad person this time it's bringing great britain down to its knees we need proper justice & put England back to the proud nation it once was, I was in Nottingham last saturday it's gone a right dump as bad as Stoke on Trent, I said to my wife what must visitors to this country think when they see such a litter strewn, vomit,graffiti,dog poo covered hole as most of England is nowadays if you think I am wrong then shame on you because you are most probably part of the problem”

“This is nothing new.

I had to get older for it to dawn on me : but in my youth I definitely had run-ins with cops coking their two bob bits off! So they're human and the system is hypocritical? Grow up!

I've rarely had to call the police in the last 20 years. Every time I have though, I'm glad they turned up and not some idiot off Sentinel Comments.”

“I'm sure he's had more than one lecture about what could have happened.
He is extremely lucky that none of it actually did.

The most important thing here is his health.
He admits 'turning to alcohol' but we do not know what this means.
We can guess though.

He has caused his family more grief and heartache than they deserve.
He can pay that back back by altering his life.
Easier said than done, but this is a classic case of 'bottoming out'.

The only way is up, with the only alternative being quite simply wrong.”

“Bobbynewton, So from your comments i gather that you think because police apparently witness more than the general public that they should be let off when these above incidents happen? Well i suggest the opposite, because you police officers see more than we do 'apparently' you should know the effects that drink driving cause, not just drink driving but 4 times over the limit, thats a reading of well over 130, thats criminal, whoever the offender, more so as this officer will know the damage alcohol does, if he knows this and still did it, do you really think we would have sympathy with him? Its reckless, he could of killed my child and missus, who do the same journey nearly every day, you still want me to sympathise with him? Jokers the lot of you, cant you just tell that a load of bobbies are on this story backinh their man up, where you the ones backing the guilford 4 or the birmingham 6 police men up? Or the hillsborough lot ? Police have some bad eggs too, when you start admitting that to youselfs then the world will become a better place, you are not above the law, abide by it, you want us to.”

“The days of relying on a 'previous good background' and a 'good community person' are now dead and buried due to the current Jimmy '£40m charity' Saville scandal doing the rounds.

Four times over and driving is just wrong.

This guy is 41 years old and was probably at the end of his police career.
In 12 Months time his prison (suspended) sentence will be extinguished.
He will be off the road for 3 years. A blink of the eye.
He will be DR10 (insurance) for a reducing 5 year period once the ban is up.
He will gain new employmen and productive employment doing something he wants to do.

His life isn't over, far from it.
He has a new beginning and he should look forward to it.

One writer is right, he made a mistake.
He moves on.”

“Your posts make no sense tuttut - you just want to lay into the Old Bill, for whatever reason and get frustrated when you see most of us are squarely behind them.

Copper? Lousey job. I couldn't do it. Glad some people do though. Saddened it wears some down.”
