I'm not sure what you mean by your other comments, she's been posting fairly regularly when people have asked stuff. There's also not been any snooping as her name appears in the list at the bottom when she's on here. I bet @Rudolf Hucker adder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bs3 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 What do you think of your colleagues calling a law abiding citizen a snake on social media? My opinion is, it is completely unprofessional from a so called professional Police service. At the moment Avon and Somerset has a poor reputation, what with the saga /fiasco of you recently departed Chief Constable and officer going around tasering pensions, tweets like this about Matt T just bring the force into disrepute.

Phileas Fogg Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 It was just a bit of fun I thought. Perhaps poorly timed/executed but it's just a tweet. Don't think it's that much of a big deal really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ffs mate, we've just stolen the best player the gas had for peanuts. Be happy about that rather than seeking to take offence at next to nothing eh, leave that to the other lot.

Seems this was an attempt to diffuse the situation but its backfiring...if not sidetracking. Nothing worst than badly judged,but doesn't help A&S in any way-you would think as low a profile as possible would be their current 'order of the day'!

CotswoldRed Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Bit unfair to ask her to answer that. I suppose it's rhetorical. The police have never been the best at injecting humour into situations. Maybe they'll learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Social media policies across the board are VERY restrictive these days. On the face of it no real harm done but people get hauled over the coals for less online. Some morons from the other Bristol side see it. Maybe that helped stir them up we don't know.

Blimey bs3, do we really need another thread on this? And I really don't see the need to bring Julie into this, she cannot be held in any way responsible for the actions of colleagues. Was it intended as just a bit of fun? Obviously yes Was it ill-judged? Probably Do we need to take offence at it? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Grim Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I can't believe people are being so precious over this. I'll speak for myself, but there are so many more things to worry about than trivial things like a light hearted tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Just my opinion, harmless fun and a bit of humour yes. But I am surprised they got involved and probably should not have done. To the Gasheads it reads as though they are taking the piss out of them and siding with us which surely won't help matters. And on a personal level I have been awaiting a response from the Police on a slightly more serious matter for a month now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long do you think it took them (on second thoughts don't answer that). I think it's a shame really, they are trying to show they are involved in the local community and that contrary to what most might think, have a sense of humour, and people jump on them for it. Also, MODS, can we merge this with the other thread? If people think the tweet was wasting police time, I think trying to get JulieH to comment is worse in that respect.

Like reading people's complaints on OTIB?! Personally I found it great, it was good to see the Police with a personality and sense of humour.

cityboy Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Personally I'd much rather they were like this, with humour, than seeming to be an unapproachable entity above engaging with the general public. If anyone has genuinely taken offence at this, then I suggest they take a break from the internet for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't look like that to me, Peter. Despite the conciliatory message at the end of the tweet, it was clearly the work of some irked Gashead on their media team. At a time when the police have got to waste resources protecting Taylor and his family from cretins who use the same language as was used in the tweet, it is - at the minimum - incredibly ill-judged.

Disagree. Sounded more like they were saying "Ok gasheads you've had a bit of a meltdown, but **** off and leave us alone now!!" All about interpretation I suppose. We had a laugh at it in the pub pre game on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
