Police officers caught sleeping in their patrol car and now social media wants them fired



Two police officers who were pictured asleep in a patrol car have provoked a furious backlash on social media.

The pair were pictured snoozing behind the wheel beside the A303 road with some users calling for them to be fired.

Wiltshire Police has launched a probe into the images which are believed to have been taken in early August.

In the pictures one officer can be seen lying on a seat extended flat while the other has his head tilted.

One Facebook user wrote: “These officers are obviously traffic cops, who should be watching out for dangerous drivers, people speeding, drunk drivers and joy riders.”

Paula Bryant said: “That is why they are paid so much money – to carry out their duty to serve the public, not to sleep on the job.

“I don’t feel sorry for them one bit, yes they have a tough job sometimes but honestly it’s disgusting to see them asleep and not doing what they are paid to do.”

Jessie McDonald added: “This is why the country is in such a mess.”

“I’d like to see you do long shifts and put yourself in terrible situations just to protect other people.

“Policing isn’t just a job you can leave at work, it goes home with you too, you can’t just forget about what you hear and see while you’re on duty.”
