UK: Police Letting Suspects Go And “Hoping For The Best”

15

UK police resources are stretched to the breaking point as they try to deal with the ongoing jihad activity that Theresa May and Sadiq Khan are so angry at Donald Trump for pointing out. So they simply can’t deal with petty criminals anymore.

But is that really what is going on? No. It isn’t really the case that the British police simply don’t have the resources to deal with petty crime. The real problem here is that the British police forces are devoting so much of their resources to tracking down “hate crime,” i.e., online comments that Muslims dislike, that they just don’t have time to deal with actual crime: “But, with the number of arrests over ‘hateful’ comments posted online rising as much as 877 per cent in some parts of England, the Met boasting of having more than 900 specialist ‘hate crime’ investigators, and officers touring mosques to tell worshippers to report any perceived slights to their community, people have questioned whether forces are spending their resources wisely.”

The land of the Magna Carta is dead. Britain is no longer a free nation, but a sharia-enforcing corruptocracy on the way to becoming a full sharia state.

“UK: Police Letting Suspects Go And ‘Hoping For The Best,’” by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, November 25, 2017:

Police are “letting [suspects] off with a warning and hoping for the best” because they can’t cope with the scale of the crime problem, a senior officer has warned.

Since 2010, the number of custody cells has dropped by as much as 50 per cent, with further cuts planned to the suites where suspects are taken after they are picked up by police.

In a similar timeframe, the number of arrests saw a dramatic fall from 1.5 million in 2006/2007 to 780,000 in the year to March — despite large increases in recorded crime.

The reduction in custody cell numbers has seen Gloucestershire left with just one suite to cover the whole county, whilst several other counties including Cambridgeshire and Nottinghamshire have just two each.

As a result, driving a suspect to the nearest custody suite and back to the town where the arrest took place can take as long as four hours, according to Police Federation chairman Steve White, who said the cutbacks have led to “a change in the mindset of many officers not to arrest unless they absolutely have to”.

White told The Telegraph: “What is going through their mind is that ‘this person needs arresting, but there is no one left on the ground, is there going to be something else more pressing that I might have to deal with?

“So what they are doing is letting someone off with a warning and hoping for the best. Hoping for the best that person does not go on to do something terrible,” added White….

Police have blamed budget cuts for the plummeting number of arrests in Britain, with the Metropolitan Police having said cutbacks mean they can no longer look into many “low level” crimes.

But, with the number of arrests over “hateful” comments posted online rising as much as 877 per cent in some parts of England, the Met boasting of having more than 900 specialist “hate crime” investigators, and officers touring mosques to tell worshippers to report any perceived slights to their community, people have questioned whether forces are spending their resources wisely.

That’s similar to what’s happening in Chicago. Serious criminals are being released on their own recognizance or being released with a slap on the wrist.

Pamela: Pat Condell’s latest is apt:

Can’t blame the Chicago Police for that, except the top brass perhaps. That’s the fault of the C(r)ook County State’s Attorney, Kim Foxx, who was elected only because she’s black.

British corruptocracy. Good description. And soon British police will have no choice but to hear advice of Pascal Sauvage, the Greedy Frenchman from “Johnny English,” his idea of creating the prison from WHOLE great island of Great Britain to contain all those who will be arrested for making online comments accused of “hate crime” against Muslims: because there will be so many of them!

The British Sharia police have never sunk so low as to the position they now hold in the eyes of the public.

What in effect is happening to us is we’re being held down on our backs in the road and threatened with arrest and prosecution for VERBALLY objecting to our daughters being assaulted in the back of Taxis, children being blown apart at concerts and others not there being subjected to gang rape and forced prostitution BY Pakistani, Kashmiri and Somali muslim grooming gangs.

As Pat Condell pointed out in his new vid, police no longer have to have evidence of “hate speech” for proceedings to go ahead against us, the native people with a fair grievance.

I have confronted British police before over 20 years ago, and they’re both ruthless and at time criminal. You can expect to be hustled away in a van, upon entering a police station you’re photographed, before being stripped naked and searched, you’re put in a white suit with hood and your DNA is taken by force and kept as are your prints , if you resist, you commit another “offence” which is added to the charge sheet, then after being held for over 12 hours, you’re told to dress and get out. You may get your phone back but it’s unlikely, they’re checking up on who you ring before sending it to be a target for intercepts by GCHQ.

My Grandfather served in the Met for 27 years from 1894 to 1921, he would not recognise the force today.

The police are just following orders from their political masters. Shows how quickly the police can go bad after leftist politicians take over.

That last bit, about people questioning whether the police are spending resources wisely, is the problem. They shouldn’t be “questioning”, they should be DEMANDING that the police forces account for themselves and their failures.

Not the first time we’ve heard that, but stunning in just how insane they’ve become.
