Who Will Protect the Protectors?

Good grief. [More]

Well I hear Blackwater is looking for work, though not under that moniker. They should turn their phone books to Xe. That couldn't possibly go bad.

If only there were some organization that could protect people's property when it's unattended....

Check out the robberies click. Verification that "spate" translates from authorized journalese to English as "three".

Will we hear a call to completely disarm all police in Warrick so as not to "escalate the violence"? Will all England rise up to denounce them "taking the law into their own hands"? Will they now be urged to just give the crims what they want? Couldn't they just say "no"? Will they be advised to just vomit on the crims should they be offered the opportunity? How about blowing a really shrill whistle?

That last one may let them "feel" safe, and besides it beats the Hell out of what they are already blowing.

Maybe if the "protectors" went back to protecting the people instead of the state, there might be fewer attacks.

Straightarrow: that is Warwick in Western Australia - it's a suburb of Perth, the capital city.

Given the level of crime that residents around that area are enduring, I think it is kind of a GOOD thing that the police aren't exempt from the pain.
Maybe now they will actually respond to reports from the public of similar crimes, and actively try and solve them - assuming that they aren't on strike because they are demanding to be magically immune to all crime once they put on a uniform and badge.

Crotalus: my point exactly.
