In reference to the riots, police commissioners and so forth: in the past, the above have pronounced that more bobbies on the beat would not lower the crime rate.
In that case, during the riots, how is it that more ‘bobbies’ put on the beat diminished the riots and crime rate?
Methinks those who were fast-tracked up the police promotion scheme with no training are charlatans and liars.
