Isn't this 'taking part and getting involved' what community policing is all about?
What happened to common sense? I see no ships........

It's been banned  I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Common Sense? Banned. Has to be really, or they wouldn't be able to maintain the 'them and us' attitude that's helping towards the crumbling of our system of justice. It's about time someone in power stood up and declared that letter of the law and justice are not the same thing.
I for one applaud these officers for being a part of the community rather than apart from it. Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Transgenic tomato anyone?

Personally I found it disgusting! 
It is a flagrant disregard of equipment paid for from our taxes.  I don't expect we get a refund for such stupidity   This equipment is designed to help protect the very same officers that abuse it, to save lives not endanger them by using them (and a sizable dose of stupidity) to toboggan down snowy banks. 
To see him carrying on like that, sledging down the bank, off into the distant sunset, mile after mile... What a terrible example to have set the youthful onlookers who, until that time had probably been perfectly innocent, law-abiding citizens but now feel fit to go ram raiding cars with supermarket trolleys!  Or worse! It's a public disgrace and they should bring back hanging 
Whilst these police officers were idiotically frolicking in the snow who knows what manner of serious crime was going on unchallenged just a couple of blocks away That is OUR time these officers are stealing!
Just think if he had crashed - what would have happened to his truncheon? 
Yours enraged,

To be fair I expect the telling off was pretty mild and I doubt it was even logged in the officers record. It was probably along the lines of:
"Don't do it again, but if you do don't get filmed doing it. By the way are the riot shields any good for this."
At the end of the day they are only doing what we would all do. I am not sure anybody really complained anyway.

RPG. I'm guessing there's a large amount of your tongue in your cheek right now. Enraged eh? Isn't that even higher than the usual British level of "Somewhat miffed" ?? 
Nice to see the Rozzers having fun with the people. And if a bit of snow could damage a riot shield then at a guess, the design should be revisited

This was up the road from me, well out of town, and one of the few hills locally suitable for sledging (there are downsides beyond flooding to living in the Thames flood plain...). If they pulled up to check all was OK, nothing getting out of hand etc, and decided to join in the fun, well, good on them. Will certainly have made them somewhat more approachable, and probably one of the more positive images of policing in the last year. Local paper has it too, and comments are probably 10:1 in favour - perhaps there is some common sense out there still!

Good luck to them.....Looked like a good laugh. I would have liked to see a full bob sled team of them on on of the full length riot shield...now that would have been funny. Regards, Trev.

Hi All
I thought this was bloody brillant just goes some of our officers have a sense of humour its good to see them having a laugh with the public instead of alenating them most of the time and as for the company that are making the riot shields thay have just been given a new business oppertunity so look out for these in the shops next winter
cheers
