I don't like Bush or Blair and I don't like violent coppers. BUT..........will you or your mates be investigating,arresting and charging the gun/knife totin scum who mugged my friend in Hackney,the killer of the woman in Viccy park,smashing the crack dens on council estates ?
Answers on a postcard - I won't be holding my breath for your reply!

Or are you going to abolish the cops altogether and let the crim scum take away your freedom to walk in the street (or walk at all once they've slashed you up or shot you).

The gun totting scum, the crack dealer, the rapist are all products of a capitalist society!

The gun totting scum want to 'be in control' and get what they want through 'force'.

The crack dealer/addict/consumer wants to be in control and wants to get what they want by any means necessary (force).

The rapist plagued by porno images to the extreme via capitalist society .... ... .. .

Do YOU get the *!*!*!* picture? Do YOU get the *!*!*!* picture???

They are all products of a capitalist society and they mimick their masters well.

WAKE UP!!!!!

Well, since you ask, - it's the police who nick these people.
Sometimes.
After the fact. And if they can't get them, it's not beyond them to just nick someone else instead. Since yr so concerned about violence in the community, by the way, you might like to aquaint yrself with the figures regarding deaths in police custody (well over a thousand and counting since 1969 - and no pig ever brought to book) beatings, gassings, strangulation, suffocation, etc, and that's before we even get to the numbers of those maimed, injured, and fitted up on a variety of serious to minor charges.

Were you or I ever a tiny bit safer in our beds? did the criminals you speak of quake? Grow up, silly rabbit!

O.K., yeah. sometimes they actually do get it right. So Fuck What??? A stopped clock is right twice a day...

They're supposed to be there to serve us, aren't they.? isn't that how it's supposed to work? Democracy, etc? oh, well...

The "gun/knife totin scum in hackney, the killer of the woman in viccy park", HAPPENED ANYWAY. That's the point. And a certain amount of that sort of thing always will, whatever system we adopt.

But until we all take responsibility for our own communities, until we are prepared to (I flinch from the word) police ourselves, we are handing that power over to a faceless, politically unaccountable, institutionally violent, racist and corrupt body that is effectively above the law it is supposed to enforce, and which is geared to a highly idiosyncratic political agenda. ( Known as serving the master.) Of course we need to maintain some of the highly sophisticated methods of crime detection, etc, that the police use. But that technology is OURS, we evolved it over time as a SOCIETY! It's not the intellectual property of Tony's dogs!!!

Well, sparrer?

Hmm, will THEY be investigating, arresting and charging the perpetrators?? Not this week they won't, thats for shit sure. They'll be running around in their little bully gangs, jumping on protesters at the drop of a hat and charging them with minor misdemeanours, which they'll then have to take time off from policing your community, so that they can go and lie, on oath in court, as they do all the time. Feel safer now??

Me neither!!

"Or are you going to abolish the cops altogether and let the crim scum take away your freedom to walk in the street (or walk at all once they've slashed you up or shot you)."

Hoo boy, you been reading those tabloids again, or what. We've got shed loads of new coppers, CSOs and all sorts of other jumped up pricks in shiny new uniforms, and yet everybody is still terrified to leave their own homes. And thats the way its meant to be. And if we are out, and we do see a crime, what do we do? Do we jump in and sort the shit out, not a hope. We reach for our mobile phones and dial 999 in the hopes that there isn't another demo going on, and th\at the cops will turn up EVENTUALLY.

Cos, lets face it, they don't give a stuff about the good burghers of Hackney, or Southwark or Lambeth.

But bring a fucking warmongering, asset stealing scumbag onto the scene and theres 14 000 of the twats to back up his 400 armed goons.

Think about it.

Oh, bye then...
