Police officer refuses to stop assault because ‘then I’ll have to deal with it’
The UK’s thin blue line just got that bit thinner, after a police officer was caught on camera refusing to stop a case of shoplifting and assault happening just 100 meters away.
The incident, which occurred in Sussex, UK, involved a fight between a group of shoplifters and people attempting to stop them. A bystander, who asked the officer for help, was told, ‘I’m not a response unit, unfortunately.’ The bystander replies, ‘I know you’re not, but the sight of the car will make them scatter,’ to which the officer just says, ‘Yeah, but then I’ll have to deal with it.’
Sussex Police have released a statement apologizing for the ‘clumsy language’ used by the officer, promising that the incident was being looked into. This hasn’t stopped widespread anger over the non-response, however, with a former Scotland Yard Detective telling reporters, ‘These officers get paid out of the public purse, they are there to reassure communities, to build bridges with communities and to say something like, ‘if I had to deal with it’ or words to that effect ‘it's not my job,’ is quite frankly appalling.’
