    Riot police demand toilet breaks

    Riot police demand toilet breaks every 45 MINUTES 'to stop them from wetting themselves'
    Fear that lack of breaks drives force to 'incivility'
    By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
    Last updated at 4:23 PM on 20th July 2011


    The fearsome reputation of riot police comes from their lack of toilet breaks, a top policeman claimed today.
    Police are demanding to be rotated every 45 minutes when supervising riots and demonstrations - so that they can go for a toilet break.
    Members of the West Midlands Police Federation complained in a survey of a 'lack of comfort breaks' during pre-planned public order duties.



    Demands: West Midlands riot police, shown here at the Birmingham derby, say that insufficient toilet breaks drive them to 'incivility, impoliteness and intolerance'
    Police chiefs fear the lack of loo breaks is behind complaints from members of the public of 'incivility, impoliteness and intolerance'.
    Bryan Higgins, lead on health and safety for the force's federation, said officers cannot carry out duties effectively when they are desperate to use the toilet.

    He told Police Review magazine: 'If you have not been able to go to the toilet and you desperately need to go, you are not going to be concentrating on the task in hand.
    'You are going to be concentrating on not wetting yourself or not making a mess of yourself. It does cause major problems.



    On duty: A spokesman says that police cannot be effective if they're 'concentrating on not wetting themselves'
    'If you do not have sufficient staff on, the first thing to go is the ability to take a meal break or to go to the toilet.'
    Mr Higgins revealed incivility was the biggest cause of complaints against the force, and warned the situation would be made worse by a lack of officers.
    He demanded public order officers should be rotated from the front line after 45 minutes and forces must review 'safe staffing levels'.
    A spokesman for West Midlands Police said that adequate refreshment breaks were 'fundamental' to the planning process for major events.
    He said: 'In pre-planned operations, a greater number of staff than the number of fixed posts will usually be deployed, to allow rotation of staff and refreshment, welfare and comfort breaks.
    'All police officers are expected to act with self-control, tolerance and professionalism, treating members of the public and colleagues with respect and courtesy even in the most challenging of circumstances.'
    A police chief apologised in February after officers complained of a lack of food, clothing and comfort breaks during last year's papal visit.

    If the riot police had completed potty training coupled with a full kindergarden schooling, they should be able to not piss themselves once an hour.
    If they can't hold themselves in, i suggest they just shit on the public as usual, and call that incivility.

    Couldn't they just put their hand up when the need arises and ask to be excused for 5 minutes - you know, like fucking nursery school kids.

    The point is if you need a piss you just go and have one, these guys can't.

    Have a little compassion guys! These guys need all of our support and understanding. The next time Wigan Fans riot (all 10 of us) I will make sure we do it only when the boys with the big sticks have gone wee wee. Maybe they woun't pound so hard on mi nuts with them big sticks!

    Perhaps along with helmets, body armor, face shields, stun guns, tear gas, bad breath, bloody big sticks, they could be equipped with man diapers. Now don't laugh, the combined stench of a couple of hundred riot cops with full diapers could do a lot to quell most riots

    Can't they just whip it out and piss on the crowd when the need arises. Not any worse than tossing smoke grenades and beating folks into a coma, really.

    Imagine the fun they would have trying to arrest each other for public indecency.
    Could cause a riot.

    When I saw the thread title I knew it would be about Britain. We really are a nation of soft, whinging little pussies and effeminate "modern" men nowadays.

    If its not using moisturiser, buying skinny jeans or getting a queer hair-do, its having a little cry cos we cant go to the toilet in the middle of a fucking riot.

    Seriously British men, put down the man-bag, stop plucking your chest hair and harden the fuck up.

    Yes, An interesting and valid discussion.

    Its either book the boys off to go have a wank, piss or shit or book them off on W/C after they've pissed or shit themselves.

    Up to you.

    The females in Emergency services just walk away when they need to go and fair enough I reckon.

    And the firemen? Guzzle a few Fosters and piss all over the fire? Saves on equipment, I suppose.

    ^ Good point.

    Maybe it's time to draw up a set of "fair play rules for rioting", possibly implementing professional referees and timekeepers to stop people pant pissing.
