We've just ordered a baseball bat. Dps worried that no police, letting petty crime go and low supplies will see a surge in looters and burglaries.

I want to wake up now and it's all been a bad dream.

Whoa there, back the heck up! This is not some ghetto in a mediocre film.
Getting a bit ahead of yourself there!

What do you mean by 'no police'?

She's not plucking this out of thin air. It is one of the measures that could be implemented at a later stage. Police officers may be told to ignore petty crime at the height of the pandemic.

Well if people riot over a cheap telly on black Friday it's only a matter of time before there's riots in the bog roll aisles of Adsa

In case you didn't notice OP, the police have been letting low level crime slide for at least a decade. This is nothing new.

Helenj1977 · 12/03/2020 21:08

Dp has massively worried me. It was mentioned fairly early on that police could be limited, crime being ignored (more then usual)

I think Boris's statement has really scared me today. I've been preparing for ages but never thought we'd need it.

Yikes! Grin

If you're going to have a baseball bad then I suggest you get a baseball too. Otherwise you have very obviously just ordered yourself a weapon, and I don't think the law will look to kindly on that.
