Some of the things the police have to deal with, assaults on them and how many officers it can take to deal with just one or two violent people, is truly shocking.
They're showing small towns like Bedford, King's Lynn and Ipswich and it's ridiculous.
One moron run up to a police officer and punched him full in the face on his blind side. Knocked the officer out and he was fined £165.
That's his punishment!!!
There's idiots trying to stab, bite, kick, punch and headbutt officers.
Community orders are the biggest 'punishments!!!
I really can't believe what has happened to society and the punishment is ridiculous.
Where has 'trying to protect the police' gone?
Lawlessness and absolute disrespect, not just for police, for anyone else is rife.
I would never intervene if I saw any altercation now, whereas in the past I would try to help.
It's one of the saddest programmes I've seen.
When I was working in the Cotswolds a couple of months ago I went to Broadway, archetypal chocolate box type of town. Been going there for work on and off for years.
This time there were at least three shops that had been broken into and had windows boarded up. Never happened there before.
What are the answers to this and what TBG said?
