the relationship between police and criminals is strange... Although I'm sure that if you spoke to police bout any of the things that went/are going down over this passed week he would respond in disgust- But if there's anyone who's gonna benefit from this it will be the police. They got their numbers cut, which is a move that looks like it's gonna be reversed... And the public/media, it seems, will be less critical of them using heavy handed force... They're gettin a whole heap of overtime rite now... And in general they're gonna get more power from this.
any time you attack the police you end up giving them more rights and more power.
