Why are people so down on the police?

if only the police made real efforts to crack down on bike theft in the same way as they crack down on red light jumpers it might curry a bit of favour with the cycling community
as that is our main issue as far as crime is concerned

so many people have made them aware of bike theifs on brick lane and yet they fuckers are still there week in week out selling stolen bikes

i am sure if someone reported a regular dangerous red light jumper at the bishopsgate / london wall junction i bet they'd have someone there a week later ready to pull the dude

You need to read the whole thread dicki, sorry but I'm running a temp of 103 (man-flu) and not willing or able to pick out the points already made that are relevant to this.
