Police in UK have been underfunded for years.
Police no longer respond to burglaries, just give a crime number for insurance claims, and offer counselling!
Their main focus is hate crimes against minority religeous groups and the gay community and affiliated groups.
In rural areas where I live, we have no police, never see them, and our nearest police station is only open for 4 hours a day, and is closed at week-ends!
Years ago, villages and towns had local bobbies, who knew everyone, and were on top of all the local petty stuff, and sorted out the resident tearaways with a cuff round the ear, and a kick up the backside. Personal experience there!!
All gone in the name of Centralisation, and saving money.
It don't work!!

It is so sad when our country makes a hero from the sad death of a felon, drug user thug, but cheers every cop that is shot.

Here are the FACTS. And BTW they are from the Washington Post own database.


In 2019 police officers fatally shot 1,004 people, most of whom were armed or otherwise dangerous. African-Americans were about a quarter of those killed by cops last year (235), a ratio that has remained stable since 2015. That share of black victims is less than what the black crime rate would predict, since police shootings are a function of how often officers encounter armed and violent suspects. In 2018, the latest year for which such data have been published, African-Americans made up 53% of known homicide offenders in the U.S. and commit about 60% of robberies, though they are 13% of the population.

The police fatally shot nine unarmed blacks and 19 unarmed whites in 2019, according to a Washington Post database, down from 38 and 32, respectively, in 2015. The Post defines “unarmed” broadly to include such cases as a suspect in Newark, N.J., who had a loaded handgun in his car during a police chase. In 2018 there were 7,407 black homicide victims. Assuming a comparable number of victims last year, those nine unarmed black victims of police shootings represent 0.1% of all African-Americans killed in 2019. By contrast, a police officer is 18½ times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer.

You can read the details of each of the 9 unarmed shooting cases and you will probably be surprised on what you find out.

Not true, the real media report true and factual information. Politics does not direct their reporting.

Where is Walter? I don't trust anything the media puts in front of us. Not even the weather.

Like when they pushed Russian collusion for 3 years and came up with a big fat zero?
