So you would rather they took a softy approach to every one then? i mean im not saying your wrong and im right or nothing, im just saying that yes the police are not above the law and are just there to enforce it, but since they have lost the right to give kids etc a clip round the ears for say throwing a rock or what not look at the state of the place now, as i said you have yobs in parks, corners, out side shops etc causing shit half the time yet all the police these days can do is give these fucks a medal (ASBO!) what fucking good is that.
For example, i took my 14 month old daughter to the park after work yesterday to have a go on the swings, i walked in and there was 7 teenagers smoking and drinking beer, (nothing wrong with that) bar the fact they where next to the swings i wanted to put my daughter in so i politly asked if they could move to another part of the park or out side of the park, the response i got was "fuck off, or loose my teeth" so i left as i wanted no trouble with my daughter about. Now i know for a fact that if they done that back in the day, !) there would have been a plod on the beat, 2)they wouldn't be in the park as plod would have thrown them out 3) me and my daughter would have had a nice time in the park.
I support the Police in all they do and i think they should have more rights to Enforce the law. If (god for bid) some thing happened to you or your family and the Police didn't give you the right justice that they could have given or they could have prevented the thing that happened in the first place if they had more rights then im sure you'd be pissed???
