"when you need the police to protect you. The problem of course is that the police do not offer this service, at least not to Joe Public. "
I know it was a long way back in the thread, but I feel the need to call out this utter twaddle. The Police are not your personal servants, turning up whenever you have a disagreement with someone, but they do protect you. A quick look at the news today shows a dangerous driver arrested, a bombing investigated (a long time ago), an investigation into possibly dangerous housing, a child rapist convicted and a suspected child killer arrested.
All of those helping to protect Joe Public.
It also has significant criticism of West Midlands police for failing to stop something they knew nothing about. Maybe we should place all children under 24/7 big brother coverage by the Police because parents can't be bothered to find out who their 14 year old is shagging and want to blame anyone but themselves.
