You're being manipulated by the police. They're purposely allowing crime to happen so they can point at it and say "this is what happens when you don't support your police".

Rather than seeing this as police corruption, you're falling for their propaganda.

Any proof to support that accusation?

The article in question.

"Defund the police!" "ACAB"

Crime increases

"Fucking police"

The police weren't defunded, they didn't have staffing cut.

If the police are sitting there watching a crime happening, and aren't doing anything about it, they should be fired. Of course, they can't be fired because their union won't let that happen.

The correct response here is indeed "Fucking police".

Put yourself in the shoes of an honest, hardworking police man/woman for the past 2 years and tell me honestly what you would do in their situation. I know I would either have already left or be biding my time looking for an exit.
