‘We can’t tackle knife crime on our own’, police chief admits as criminals sell weapons on social media

1. Can they actually tackle *any* crime? 

2. Well who is gonna help us now, fuckin’ Batman?

3. We can’t handle fighting crime says group of people paid to handle fighting crime.

4. I understand why they had to cram in this angle but social media really has nothing to do with it. If a teen wants to carry a knife, there’s one in mum’s kitchen. If that prick out in Hainault didn’t have a blade it would have been a car or a hammer. Not to undersell the dangers of knives, but the whole panic about “the youth are buying zombie knives on tick tock!” misses the fact that it’s not ever been difficult to get your hands on a sharp object.

5. I think the chances of preventing the yoof from owning sharp bits of metal are quite low.

6. To be honest, if the police spent less time raping then they probably could do a lot more with their days.
