Over the years
I've been mugged, the police turned up after 14 days. Had my car broken into, someone was sent to dust for prints, never heard anything back. House vandalised, didn't even turn up.
When I was working at a local supermarket whilst at college there were two armed robberies, on one occasion the police turned up after 45 minutes, the second they turned up after 2 days. One of the girls on the checkout was stabbed, they failed to arrest anyone. One of the girls on the shopfloor was gang raped in view of the CCTV cameras behind the store on her way home from work, noone was arrested.
Am I allowed to not like the local police force?
Edit: not meant as a dig at you captain.

My brother has had the same thing, phoned the police when he saw someone breaking into a car just down his road
and the police didn't care to the extent they didn't even ask for the numberplate.

Damn straight!
That's democracy and anyone that disagrees should go and live somewhere America hasn't invaded yet ;)
In all honesty I don't hate the police but I do dislike the way they carry on most of the time. For example a few weeks ago I get stopped and given the 3rd degree by a plastic because I looked a little flustered when I was walking home from the gym...
