Do you trust in the british police in London ?

Question

A friend of mine got robbed beaten up in Central London. It was right in front of a freakin police station! So for christs sake...whats wrong with the police? Arent they supposed to protect the people?!

I know that london is not a save place in general but people get killed in boroughs of London like Chelsea, Oxford Circus and stuff like that...i thought that you are quite save at richer areas like that.

Answer 1

In general I think that the British police are trustworthy but there are of course some bad apples in every barrel. However I don't think they spend their days staring out of the windows waiting for something to happen so maybe they did not see your friend getting robbed and most of them are probably not psychic

Answer 2

rich places have more crime,coz the others think thryll get more expensive stuff and plus they are not baiting them selves up by doing that in an area that they dont no,where if it was to happen in wood green or holloway people talk,its all mostly close nit community,n people would find out, revenge etc..its every where in london now. i hope ur friend is ok its a horrible thing they done x

Answer 3

they were probably 1 of the army of cops that were pulling me over and fining me for having a brake light out

Answer 4

What was your friend doing getting in a fight right in front of the police station? And right in front of the police station. . . weird again. Why didn't he scream or something. It's possible the officers were busy with someone else and didn't see them fighting. . .

Answer 5

they were probably too busy filling in their paperwork.
