Reblogged from POLICE INSPECTOR BLOG:
Down on the Swamp Estate at the edge of Ruraltown, people do not believe in the criminal justice system. Time after time, in complete contradiction to perceived wisdom, they see convicted offenders walk away from court with a meaningless 'community sentence', right back to the estate. I have been involved in cases which have taken months of preparation, cajoling witnesses to appear, making all kinds of promises about how 'supporting the system' is the right thing to do, only to face angry victims and their friends afterwards when they see a gleeful offender set free.
Please stop re posting IGs comments and thoughts as if you really believe them.
Since when did the tories support the Police?

That is IG’s first re-blog here, isn’t it?
