Its gonna end up that way all over mate as the Police are sh't scared to do owt.
As i've mentioned before, i have mates who have decided to "retire" from the police, they can't see the use of it anymore, they go out do all the work catch the scumbags and then the CPS decide not to prosecute and the scum gets away with it laughing at the police as they leave.
If the feckin governments quit cutting their funding and increased it properly instead, then the politicians, goodygoodies and all the other assorted assbubbles shut their mouths and kept their pathetic ideas to themselves the police could go back to being effective!
