Interesting chat with a policeman

[The Local Ned]

Yes , I think we've all watched things kicking off while the Police sit idle some distance away waiting for it to end...then jump in and arrest ( usually ) the victim who is left angry and upset over whats happened....and for the aggressors to swan off into the darkness.

It's 'just another job' these days sadly , and no officer wants to get a busted head , knifed , or shot for getting mixed up in someone elses problem, especially as 9/10 the crims get off free and the good samaritan has become target #1.

ACAB as the saying goes.
