Security Stories 4 - When Charity Goes Bad..

[@operandexpanse]

They’re so open about stabbing a cop while a suspected cop is right in front of them? What has happened to the UK? It’s incredible how weak the police force has become. Great stories by the way 👍

As someone that volunteered for a large charity, I'm never going to give money to a charity. I give directly to people that need it The amount of money thats wasted and embezzled is insane

[@terrorbilly1]

Oh man, I love when charities come knocking on my door! I usually tell them that I pay already. When they look through their system confused as to why there's none of my details there, I then add: "have you heard of taxes?"

[@CLaw-tb5gg]

I used to work for a charity and I've never donated to charity since. To be blunt they're like any other company existing to make money for everyone working for them, with a sort of vague excuse that some money might get given to a good cause at some point. I could never work out what the charity I worked for (which I won't name, but everyone has heard of it) even actually did in practice to help anyone.. but I do know that management got very healthy paycheques.

[@CLaw-tb5gg]

Also on a related topic, I've developed a pretty bleak view on giving money to homeless people as my other half works with them. The whole "needing X amount of money to get into a shelter" thing is complete bollocks; that's not how it works at all. Shelters are paid for by housing benefit, and residents need to stump up a nominal amount of cash, £50 or so, once a month as a sort of token thing to demonstrate responsibility - but they can get massively in arrears (like a year) before anyone cares. If someone is on the street all they need to do is phone a street team and they will get a bed gratis, and if they're in a big city there are always plenty of beds available. The reason people beg for money is for drugs, plain and simple. I completely appreciate that these people are in a sorry state and when you've got a combination of mental health problems and drug problems it's a deep dark hole to try and pull yourself out of, but by giving money to them you are not helping them. If I get pestered by one I just ask them if they want me to ring a street team for them and they just keep going money, money, money, which tells you all you need to know. And that's not even getting into the fact that a hell of a lot of beggars aren't "true" homeless people at all but are members of professional begging gangs.

I'm a plumber. Rich people never tip EVER.

[@sam.p12345]

Well I’ve never been tipped by a plumber at my work.

[@Alpha_blossom]

Do people in general typically tip plumbers?

[@Togmot]

@@Alpha_blossom not if I'm on a proper site of course but if you do customer service especially in winter people will often be thankful for having their heating or warm water fixed. Especially if you fix it without costing them an arm and a leg people will often tip. Mind you this is germany so its not expected and usually just 5-10€. Poorer people are more likely to tip than richer people. Also old people like tipping you.

[@matthewpetell]

Plumbers never leave you any money to tip in the US

[@olemew]

In this channel there are videos about rich basketball players tipping hundreds of $, so your point is invalid.

[@ifell3]

Funnily enough years ago we had some people saying they were collecting from a well known dog home in London. After researching they were from one of these big companies.

[@thatgearguy]

Pretty much every large charity outsources the collection. It is very disingenuous.

[@jupo9928]

And if it looks like you're sponsoring this one animal, you and 10,000 other people are too. I hate the way they write up the pamphlets to suggest your donation is the only one feeding this poor animal.

The Salvation Army here is a charity that fronts for an investment group. The head guy at the shelter is in his 30s, and makes almost $200k a year. (That's a good living in my state).

[@noelht1]

5:25 I am exarmy. During my service I had a couple of those okay this is it moments. When you know you are going to die and there’s nothing you can do about it. It’s actually quite interesting how mellow and peaceful those moments can be. Amongst the chaos of what’s happening around you when you know the end is there it’s actually quite a calming thing. It’s afterwards when you haven’t died that it catches up with you

Just found your channel, great stories. When i was a cop i really liked the bouncer/security guys. They took care of business before i could get there. I always talked the customers out of trying to press charges against the bouncers. It made my job easier. You guys had a rough job.

It is appreciated! I knew a handful of good cops. We were all working toward the same goal - keep the good people safe and the bad ones away.

If you really were a police officer and they did stab you, their whole operation would have been shut down and the law would shit on them big time. I have had similar thing happen to me, where I was accused of being a police officer and punched. I mean isn't hitting or stabbing a policeman the most stupidest thing a villain can do? Even threatening a Police officer will have serious consequences and I wonder how intelligent these idiots are.

Maybe the rich people are smart enough to know those charities are a scam.

[@stevem815]

People in the expensive homes would be more likely to have standing orders on their bank accounts automatically donating to charities every month rather than giving one off donations to someone knocking on their door. You might like to think of the salt of the earth underdogs keeping everything going but it doesn't work like that in reality. Rich people basically pay for everything, including the council estates all this happened at.

[@thatgearguy]

@@stevem815 I don't doubt it. My comment only regards money donated door to door. I have no info on which sections of society contribute to charity or how.
