I've just read in the news that there was an 'incident' involving Prince Harry's motorcade on the way to the Invictus Games in London. A police outrider collided head on with another vehicle and was sent approx. 400 feet along the road. The motorcycle was imbedded in the front of the car. I do hope that the PC riding the motorcycle makes a full recovery.

If crime is down by 28%, should we, pro…
