Yet still with the damage beyond belief the powers that be won't let the gloves come off. Cops are being told to hold back and watch, that the people responsible will be dealt with at a later date.

As well as the raising of a generation of feral youths, we've reached a stage where there is a generation of senior Police management afraid to take action. The front line want to get stuck in, and where they have been allowed to have restored order, but the management are more concerned about soundbites than actual policing.

Next time one of them appears on TV count how many times the bull plop bingo buzzwords come out "community", "partnership working" etc. etc.

Yes l agree with you totally on that the management does not seem to care two hoots about police who are in the frontline.
