#2 The English government seems to have a real down on police. First they figured that by putting CCTV cameras everywhere they could lay off cops, and that didn't work, so now they want to try privatization.

Perhaps it is time to reevaluate the entire purpose of having police. In the US, it is much clearer.

#3 ...and in the "United States", may local communities allow not only gun ownership but the right of self defense of life and property. Although, crime seems to peak in areas where those tenets are not followed.

#4 The UK has forgotten its police founding in Peels Principles.

The police is the UK is seen as a profit center aimed at generating money from traffic fines and the like. Seconcarily it is seen as a tool to reform society as a socialist "utopia". Catching crim's?? that's waaaaaaaaaaay down the list.

The people in the UK as far as I can tell have little respect for the coppers and especially for their leaders.

Spending money to make your populace safe is one thing that doesn't seem to pertain.

#5 Damn, PIMF. I'll blame my cold fingers for my typos:

"is the UK" should be "in the UK"
"Seconcarily " should be "Secondarily"

(sorry)

#6 I have never really had a problem with are police force, and I think you guys have got it all wrong. Basically the police and other public services have overpaid everyone, now they look to cut costs rather then create a socialist utopia? So rather then lay off the officers or give them the realistic pay drop they need. Employ the private sector, sure it creates a storm, but the latter option is a bunch of striking officers. Although I'm pretty certain there not allowed to strike.
