UK Policing News

From Evening Standard http://www.thisislon...man-on-train.do If the story is as reported, I think everyone can understand how the police ended up tasering him. But to have to wait for a phone call after the event instead of someone coming up after the event and just saying "Sorry mate, we thought you were the attacker" is a bit much.

The police who are afraid of the dark: Officers won't patrol yob-plagued park after 8pm By Andrew Levy Last updated at 10:58 PM on 27th January 2011 Comments (416) Add to My Stories In the line of duty, police officers routinely risk life and limb in all sorts of dangerous situations to protect and serve. So patrolling an area plagued by teenage yobs should be child’s play by comparison. But constables and PCSOs have been banned from keeping the peace at an adventure playground at night because it is considered dark and dangerous.
