I'm seriously beginning to think that our police force needs a complete overhaul.
You get burgled...you receive an incident number, likewise if someone nicks your car/motorbike or childs bicycle. No investigation, no visit, in the burglary cases if you're lucky they may ring you back to give you the contact details of a locksmith who will change/replace your locks.
But....If you have a heated argument online..they are more than willing to knock on your door on the pretext of hate speech..(the kinda thing we used to pass off as sticks and stones may break my bones etc..has suddenly become a crime worse than theft)
Walk down the road on your way to a football match chanting and singing..get kettled, pushed, jostled, treated like crap and even arrested...stick yourself to a road or a piece of art, push over a statue they ask you if you if you are comfortable and want a cup of tea. Try to deal with these lawbreakers yourself and you get arrested and fined.
They take the knee, dance with protesters, chase easy targets like motorists but ignore rule breaking cyclists, anti social behaviour and kids bombing up and down on stolen/illegal bikes..and finally..

Un-freaking-believable....hey Mr Plod...I've solved the crime for you and found the thief..mmmm ok go buy your stolen stuff back from the thief and I can close the case....Disgraceful!
