Well yes, police don't care about theft, unless the victim is a business. The police basically exist to protect capitalists and their interests, not us.

What very little they do for us, detering and solving murders and whatnot, is just a means to this end - business/capital in an area will suffer if there are murders.

Your house being burgled doesn't affect anyone but you, so why should the coppers care?

:-(

From the title, I was expecting it to be "she said it was a specific person, and that was all," but no - there's evidence that the police first failed to collect, then failed to acknowledge after some was handed to them, and generally failed to do anything at all.

I had pretty much the same experience with a burglary back in 2010. I told the police the identity of the person who had almost certainly done it, but - well, it was Christmas and the detective assigned to our case had gone on annual leave at that point, so... well, fuck all really.

The suspect says he did not burgle Sarah.

Well, there you have it, folks. She's trying to frame an innocent man.

Look, there are Black people walking the streets. How can they possibly have time to deal with anything else? Black people four times as likely to be stopped and searched by Lancashire police.

Isn't the UK known for being run by authoritarians and having cameras covering every square foot? So all that's for nothing then?

Do they want vigilantism? Because that's how they get vigilantism.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Ms Goode's case comes as research commissioned by Panorama suggests police forces are facing an increased workload.

The independent criminal justice think tank Crest Advisory says England and Wales need an extra 18,000 officers just to keep up with population growth since 2010.

She gathered some footage herself and identified a former friend acting suspiciously outside her house - but Lancashire Police still did not question him or come back for the rest of the CCTV.

Lancashire Police says it deployed crime scene investigators, completed house-to-house enquiries and obtained CCTV footage before Sarah's case was closed.

The police watchdog has told Panorama that officers are failing to get the basics right and that public confidence is at the lowest level he could remember.

With severity of crime and rising population figures factored in together, Crest has calculated that 114,000 additional officers are needed to meet demand in England and Wales.

The original article contains 858 words, the summary contains 150 words. Saved 83%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

According to Crest, there are now just 3.88 officers for every 1,000 people - down from 4.42 in 2010.

And I'll be those officers are under equipt compared to how they would have been in the past. It's no wonder they're just there to give it reference numbers so you can go to your insurance now.

I can't believe people feel for the Tory austerity lies, then have continued to fall for their shit for a further decade.

that brexit thing really made uk sooooo so much better. less crime, more money, more wellpaid jobs, cheaper groceries... LOL
