This is PD Orbit.
The average human can run at 18 mph. Orbit runs at 32 mph
The average human has 400 smell receptors. Orbit has 225 million
Orbit's bite pressure is 238 psi.
They are called landsharks for a reason.

My other has Nan passed away this morning from Covid caught when she was in hospital. Very difficult to lose both so quickly especially as Covid has denied us time with them as a family. Please do your level best to protect yourselves and those around you. RIP beautiful lady x

Whether it is expenses, second home flipping, alleged sexual misconduct or porn on computers , there seems to be no acknowledgement of a change in professional behaviour needed or learning from past mistakes. Too many times it seems to be attempts to justify poor decisions.

My beautiful Nan passed away yesterday morning following a long illness. We were not able to hold her hand in her final days. This is the unseen Covid tragedy. Please follow the advice so we can beat this and say goodbye to our loved ones properly.

My thoughts on the present armed policing crisis:
1. policing must always be accountable for our actions and this may include being subject to criminal investigations. Thats part of being in a functioning democracy.
2. I was an Authorised Firearms Officer for 5 years.

Some interesting facts about use of Taser in Lincolnshire over the past 12 months:
1. Taser was available at the scene where force was used on 3094 occasions
2. It was drawn but not fired in 435 of these occasions.
3. Fired 44 times

It's been quite a 24 hours for me. Unusual aches in my legs + 1 leg started to swell. I put it down over doing it. Eventually got so bad I went to hospital. Blood clots!

As an outsider am I allowed to question why the event still takes place in its current format? It seems the same roll-call happens each year...100s arrested, multiple serious injuries, reports of crushing. How do SAGs influence this, who is the "organiser"? Seems unsafe.

So 2 take away points.
1. Have faith in BOTH doses of the vaccines...they save lives
2. If you feel unwell and know something isn't right following your vaccine, SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.
Don't be "brave" and pretend rest will sort it. Your loved ones won't thank you for it.

What does this tell us?
1. Our officers are well equipped
2. They utilise the skills and equipment they have
3. They are NOT gung-ho
4. They make good decisions in very difficult circumstances
5. Taser is a deterent as well as a use of force
