Have the police lost the city streets?

With 3 more fatal stabbings in London in as many days have the police finally given up?. Gang culture is now endemic, but the police seem to do nothng.

I doff my "silly" hat off to you birdie lol, I know it`s not the fault of whoever turns up, but somethings got to be done about how many police are available, all well and good lots of police walking the beat during the day and community police pounding the streets but whenever something serious happens late at night , there`s no-one about

Saying that..the Bagel shop in Brick Lane is always full of police...eating not arresting

I accept and agree with a lot of what birdie is saying but one thing puzzles me.Now this is only what I've seen on the police programmes on TV so he can tell me how accurate they are, but if there is a stolen car and a chase, by the time the driver is caught, there are usually five or six cars [ten or twelve policemen] surrounding him. That never seems to happen with other crimes.
