police attack

I can recall a video that came onto my FB feed which showed a horrible attack on a Police officer by several youngsters, a gang appeared and they all found it highly amusing...filming it / shouting abuse etc.
Thankfully support arrived.

Yet as one officer told me, if anything occurs in the world of these little thugs, they are calling 999 immediately, demanding help!!

It's sickening.

It was in the Mail yesterday

It hasn’t appeared on my phone/ipad news.....bit odd!

There is no deterrent, the gangs that organize the drugs trade don’t care who they injure or kill, mostly it is members of rival gangs. Many other criminals are high on drugs and very dangerous to confront even for petty crime or disorder.

Police are at the front line and take great effort to protect officers, even so injury does happen and we should all be much more supportive, not so critical when things go wrong.

I've never heard this news and I watch TV news and check my news app++. What an appalling thing to happen. Those poor officers. I'd certainly have thought that was big news.

Thank you for posting that. But it wasn't on the BBC news app this morning and nothing more has been said about how they are or what the police are doing about it.

Trouble is that when something remains focal such as this bloomin' virus, nothing else seems to matter It's either Brexit or Rona, everything, no matter how newsworthy, stays in the background.

If we had a deterrent for heinous crimes such as this then perhaps such attacks wouldn't happen. The system badly needs sorting out so far as punishment/sentencing is concerned for crime has increased rapidly and will unfortunately continue to do so.

It is in the national news.
