Police in Britain have been Changed

Emergency service staff in Britain are so encumbered by absurd safety-first rules that few are now prepared to take the initiative — even to save a young life. 

So what damn use are they?  The general public are confused and baffled by this development.  Why is this happening, they ask? 

Well, you need to know.....about your community!

THIS IS COMMUNITARIANISM

The police in Britain have been changed – into ‘community police.’  They are not trained to tackle crime or solve crimes or sort out situations in the way police would have done back in the 1970s or 80s. Now the police do not get involved, why should they?  It is not their job, they just manage the fall-out and prevent unrest from spreading, and threaten have-a-go-heroes.  The other emergency services in the UK do much the same; they manage situations – full stop!   

This is the Chinese model of doing things; watch what the Chinese do immediately after an earthquake or mining accident.  They do NOTHING! 

The Americans have community police, etc. now too.  Remember, the American police and emergency services did this (nothing!) in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

It is cheaper to just wait and wait and wait while all hell breaks loose and people die, then go in when it is safe and just clear up the mess.  Have a memorial service, put out a creepy B.S. press statement sounding all noble and caring, and then quickly move on and forget about it! 

Welcome to your new communitarian world brought to you by Henry Tam's ‘civil society.’

Little more than 6ft deep, experts say there is a slight undercurrent, but during long dry spells, such as we are experiencing now, the flow is so slow that if you drop a twig from the King’s Head footbridge into the Lee Navigation canal, it takes an eternity to float a few yards downstream.

In recent years, several people have fallen into the canal and have been rescued by passers-by, with comparative ease. According to locals, any half-decent swimmer could negotiate this gently winding creek without difficulty.

On a beautiful afternoon, as people sunbathed, played games on the marsh and jogged and cycled along the towpath, a brilliant but troubled young sixth-former jumped from the bridge to escape a group of some eight or nine pursuing police officers after an incident at his home.

By all accounts, 17-year-old Jack Susianta was a competent swimmer but, for reasons we will explore, he couldn’t or wouldn’t try to save himself. For several agonising minutes, he just bobbed up and down in the muddy water, disappearing for long periods and emerging to gasp and splutter for air.

Incredibly, however, none of the Met Police officers went to his aid, despite the increasingly desperate entreaties of the large crowd who gathered to watch. Instead, witnesses say, they simply stood on the bridge throwing life-belts and floats, which Jack didn’t even attempt to reach. The police also stopped others from going in to save him.
