But it's not like that, yes there are mistakes and bad handling things like not appologising after raiding a house to find it's not involved in any crime.
It's lines like a heroine user who'd never been arrested before was arrested 5 times. Wow! A heroine user actually arrested! Shock horror! You know I thought that's what is supposed to happen...
Do you think they should ignore drug users?
The statistics mentioned in the article show that arrests for all crimes had increased, so they aren't concentrating on the petty crimes at the expense of more serious ones
PS Thanks for the gold star
