Exhibit 1) Adults must confront thuggish young people in public, a police chief has urged.
Exhibit 2) A former policewoman was arrested on race charges after telling noisy students to 'go home'.

Along with a couple of other holidaymakers, I told a couple of anti-socal youths to please go away when we were on the beach yesterday. Fortunately the youths were white so I knew I wasn't risking racial hate accusations, and as they were dressed for the occasion I could see that they were unarmed and unbooted so I was safe from receiving a kicking or being stabbed.
Their reaction however was simply to ignore us. On reflection I realised that having failed to comply with our polite request there was nothing more we could possibly do. Any further escalation would have risked physical attack upon us, or risked being arrested by a twenty something PC keen to arrest anyone with the ability to pay a fine, so all I could do was to walk away and leave the youths to continue with their activities.
I have been forced to act like a coward, and two pieces of scum now see that their actions are immune from any accountability.
Well done leftie British society. Your agenda is delivering clear results and proceeding according to plan.

The Northumbrian police chief was desperately unconvincing in his interview on Today this morning. For instance, he actually said (but, I can't for one moment think, he believed) that in an altercation on a bus the police should be called if the ne'er-do-wells cut up rough. This being the BBC where "journalism" (ie asking awkward questions if it disturbs yet another useless pseudo-tough initiative the announcement of which has been cleared beforehand by ACPO and Home Office PROs) is a dirty word, he wasn't asked why the law-abiding and law-upholding were persecuted per your exhibit 2.

This is the way the Mafia started or at least continued: if you cannot get the law enforced by the forces of law, you go "private" and turn to those who will enforce the law. A friend who emigrated from Sicily to London in the 50s tells me that although, at the highest levels, the Sicilian mafia are corrupt and have impoverished Sicily (and keep it impoverished), at a local level they can be very useful. He gives the example of a local big landowner whose livestock kept straying onto the land of a small farmer destroying the small farmer's grazing. Although this was manifestly illegal, the local police would do nothing. However, a word from the local mafioso dealt with the problem. The result is contempt for the police and the "official" government and support for the "unofficial" but effective government. Frightening really but highly predictable. Maybe the next time you go on the beach you should take a bouncer with you: he would soon sort out the scum but do you (or the rest of us) want to live like that?
Why do the politically correct morons interpret "back to where you come from" as meaning a foreign country rather than the pretty obvious meaning of "your own neighbourhood"?
This is willfully trying to find racism where it doesn't exist.

The problem begins by teaching children not to stand up to bullies, but to run behind the skirts of their teachers.
We've become a nation of cowards. We don't need 'more bobbies on the beat' but ordinary people who know right from wrong and are prepared to do their civic duty.
Unfortunately the authorities have done everything they can to discourage such things, and as your example shows, seem to take delight in punishing people for getting involved.
