Re: "Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime"
Maybe i am looking at this too simply but if were not going to take the word of two police officers and are not prepared to acquire the evidence i the form of phone records to support their statements then exactly what is the point in allowing police officers to be witnesses.
Sorry Papa me and you agree on many things but i cannot agree with your view of the police in general m8. Yes there are bad ones we all know that but as a complete group i believe they are decent honest people doing a job most in this country while loving to criticise wouldn't do and they do deserve our support in every aspect.
We expect them to hold a line in our society and protect the public at a time when it seems the system itself is less interested in protecting the public and more interested in the rights of criminals and of course political agendas. Question i often ask myself these days is why anyone would want to be a police officer given that they rarely get any thanks for the job they do are constantly criticised and examined see criminals laugh at them on their way out of the court when they get a pathetic sentence and are a piggy in the middle between whatever political party is ruling at the time.
You couldn't pay me enough to consider being a police officer in this day and age and i have the highest respect for the people that are and continue day in and day out to do the job.
