| "So anything specific Angela? How have "their hands been tied" since the 80s?" Nigel, I can hardly believe you are being serious. The police are held accountable for every move they make. They are constantly videoed on mobile phone by people who are hoping for them to make one wrong move. A picture of a police man wielding a baton over a floored rioter elicits howls of protests and goes viral on the internet. Who wants to be that police officer? Now the police are looking after themselves and eachother, and who can blame them. |
