You get mugged, the police do diddly squat, you go and mug your mugger and police turn up on your doorstep. This is basically where we are.

28:00 hard man steals phones from woman and kids
Something clearly needs to change. But also, at the end of the day can you blame any of these people for doing what they do? If the police aren't likely to catch them and they can make as much money as they do, what incentive do they have to go and work some minimum wage job in a warehouse, fast food, or filling in some spreadsheet all day.
I think the answer is only partly with better and more effective policing, it has to center around a better social contract where people are paid and treated fairly in all lawful walks of life.
Who owns al these buildings, and after raising the rent so much nobody can really afford,are they not loosing Money now?
police a partner people when rube bick and mob
First: they brought criminals to the country …Second: they are trying to investigate their actions …Idiotic …😢
The Blue top Guy is guilty as hell. He is just part of the food chains!!!!
Peacefulls
Reveal the name
Buy an Apple Watch and keep you’re mobile phone safe in yr pockets guys especially in London , would you walk around waving a bundle of cash ? no different to them !
Zoo London bring saudi Arabs laws
So, we are paying a lot on taxes for nothing!! All those cameras for what? Speed limits penalties? F** off – police is useless
People don't want to admit what is wrong because they're scared of being racist/xenophobic
Why you hiding this coward face expose them
What is the common denominator with these criminals? Disproportionately ethnic minorities
This is what happens when you make police terrified to arrest ethnic minorities. BLM etc . Lawlessness
England is a Shithole.
Lets start with – we have a Police Service these days, its not a Police Force, any more. Someone comments – not enough coppers to go around.. It seems to me at least, the police don't even bother to make a start at an investigation in most cases. Your car may be stolen and chances are, no one will ever be brought to justice, but; i can never rationalise how it is that if you drive in a bus lane, or over speed on a dual carriage way, you are highly likely to be photographed and fined by the local government, the central government or the police. Send a 'hurty' message to someone who takes offence and you will be investigated and you may see a possie of bobbies at your door in the early hours of the morning who will drag you off to the station in cuffs. What does this say about priorities, law and order and our relationship with the law makers of this country. Are we getting what we deserve?
This is the new generation…..Lazy and evil
People should know
That these are paid actors playing the role of the phone robbers
Ok uk has a non policing force at present
Why are the police walking around… they should be on bicycles aswell…😮
If there is an insufficient number of police officers, would it be sensible to allow citizens to finance private groups of investigators to locate criminals and then relay their whereabouts to the police?
We should all have the right to carry
The UK is an absolute disgrace, now. Its demise has been caused by our very own 'enemies within'.
its culture , they need to fight these new " yought culture " its alrrady too late for some only aduulthood can stop them and jail and a lesson learned too late. anyways you need to fight the yought culture. it may need thousands of projects that take 5 to 10 years. you stop the new generation of youngsters from spreiding this poison alot will be solved. oh yeah and ban drill rappers becouse its part of the culture
IF UR INVESTIGATING STREET CRIME & JUST DRIVE & WALKING AROUND ITS HAPPENING IN FRONT OF U, & NOTHING 2BE DONE ABOUT IT.. THE COUNTRY IS IN BIG TROUBLE. WHAT'S GOING 2 HAPPEN NEXT?
