We're an easy target. We have cash in our pockets and don't put up much resistance. They can get large numbers prosecuted which looks good for the detection and solving of crimes. We tend not to fight back so the poor plod son't have to get their hands dirty. Hell it's easier than trying to go after criminals.

It's a fooking cop out. My mate had the back door of his home kicked in over night and it took the police 48 hours to come out. By which time he had to have the door repaired to keep the property secure. When they got there they promptly issued him with a ticket for his number plates. And they then wonder why nobody has any respect for them
