For every believable thing Ian Blair says :
"we’re picking up from lots of people that they’re very frightened. There is another side to it, though. Who are the people who are frightened? People who previously had lives which were broadly exempt from crime are now finding crime coming to them. "
He says something utterly stupid :
"If you’re not broadly against the police when you’re a teenager, you’re not much of a teenager."
Yeah, man - off the pigs !

The man really is an utter twat.
He strikes me as a "trendy teacher"; desperate to be with it by mouthing what he imagines to be the opinions of his pupils.
If this is the face of modern policing we may as well retire to our bunkers now. Doesn't the man know that anyone regardless of their background ( ethnicity, colour etc )wants to walk down the street without fear of being intimidated, sexually harassed, etc. If you do the crime you do the time. There are no extenuating circumstances. Get policing and don't make excuses for those who would reduce society to the law of the jungle.
Personally I was very pro police as a teenager. It was getting a little older and wiser that enabled me to see that the police are flawed just like the rest of the state.
Either that or they were a lot better back then?
I wasn't anti-police when I was a teenager.
They didn't like me very much though!
