Fact - I like police when they come running to calm down my neighbour, I like it less when they knock my door, I hate them when they ignore my call following some aggro on the street.
Fact - My brother in law who's of West Indian appearance despite being in his 40s, having steady job with the NHS, university degree and a mortgage is being stopped in his car on a weekly basis. Sometimes his car was searched. On the other hand, I've been never stopped despite driving for ten years in this country.
Opinion - They are pretty good with domestics when the both attacker and the victim leave under the confirmed address and the disturbance was reported to them, It takes them two days, but they will get there. If the attacker is black, they will pay the visit the same day.
They are pretty shit when is up to them to investigate the crime.
