True friendship is NOT finding a Cop to look after your mate who is paralytic so you can leave them to carry on drinking. When asked what their friends name and address is they replied “Do your F***ing job like I pay you to, I’m off to have a good time” #FriendshipGoals2019.

Burglary call on Winterstoke Road locating a male hiding. He provided details I suspected to be false, insisting I’d be disappointed to find he was who he claimed to be. Turns out, I wasn’t disappointed, he was someone else entirely, wanted for multiple burglaries.
