Dispatches - The police one last night.

[charliecat]

Did you watch it? Cant belive police officers ignored a call for a woman being pushed down the street and the hours wasted playing cards.

Didn't watch it but I can certainly believe the police ignrored a call from a woman being attacked. There was a report this morning on the radio about that poor woman who was murdered by her fiance last year - she had told them that he'd threatened to kill her but they just ignored it. On two occasions they had the opportunity to arrest him, but they didn't bother, presumably because they still have the view that domestic violence is normal and not proper police work. This was in Wiltshire.

thought it was terrible - especially as we're in Leicester -nice to know we're in safe hands.
