They are totally consumed by “PC ism” and Wokeness.
I attended a neighbourhood meeting a few years ago about dangerous parking outside the infant and junior school at the bottom of my road.
One neighbour mentioned to the police sergeant holding the meeting that a large part of the problem was caused by Asian taxi drivers picking up and dropping off kids and parking on pavements and on double yellow lines.
The neighbour was right, this was a big part of the problem, I witnessed it daily.
The police sergeant told him to “stop right there”......let’s park the racial angle to this right here shall we sir”.
He was terrified to even speak about truth.
If the problem had been caused by the parking of ****agers or pensioners he wouldn’t have blinked an eye.
It’s all box ticking by our police these days.
The biggest problem of all though has been mentioned to me over the past 20 odd years by a few lads who I’ve known who were policemen.
Firstly, too many in senior roles who are university graduates who never had to walk the beat, in essence they are managers of budgets etc, they have no proper experience of what it takes to actually police.
Secondly, in the quest for equality too many useless women have been promoted into senior positions.
My mum has a friend who’s daughter is a police inspector, your probably aware that any cases are not supposed to be discussed outside the police building.
My mum’s friend is a gob s h y t e and her daughter the same, my mum told me when a neighbours son was in trouble but let off with a caution.
A pretty serious situation and a total breach of conduct on her part.
I think our police are like the NHS, if it’s day to day stuff the service is patchy but if it’s a really serious situation then the “real” police get called in the same way a critical care unit operates in an hospital.
The quality is kept for the most serious issues.
