Fireman being ambushed, Whatever Next?

You have boundaries for your children. They step over them. Then You batter them. Then the NSPCA trys to put you in prison.
Then the children are given to a paedophile to raise as their own.
Society once had boundaries.
It consisted of a constable with a rolled up cape.
Step over the boundary and the cape would recoil off the side of your head.
Unfortunately that bunch of bleeding heart liberal do gooders thought it barbaric and unsuitable in a civilised society, wrecked it for all of us.
Little did they know that it was only the brute force that was keeping the lid on the barbarians that gave the illusion of the civilised society that they enjoyed.
So the public were greater rights to be dealt with fairly.
Some started to object to their miscreant youths being battered by the police.
Others objected on their behalf.
Politicians, officials concede because they don't understand policing. They only associate with nice people so they think that if you treat people decently they will behave decently.
They'll delude themselves denying that if they were caught out they're behaviour would be less that impecable.
Then as more and more complained police stopped carrying capes and started reporting youths.
Now the justice system can't cope.
The youths know how impotent the system is.
Let face it all of us would survive the gentle introduction to recidivist criminality.
Your yoblet gets caught commiting a crime. Its the first time that anyone has felt able to confront their borish behaviour.
They cry, they want their mummy when they are place in the detention room.
A few hours later having received their "Reprimand" and had their statuatory nagging they are free to big it up with their mate, having been DNA'd, fingerprinted and photographed.
The new "Club number" or Criminal record office number means that their future options in life are now limited.
Catch them again and it a "Formal Warning" for you. This time they know the procedure so mummy is treated with the contempt of being yet another weak adult.
And then is the "Final warning", followed by the "Formal Caution"
There will have been referals to the "Youth Offending Team" and posibly the "Restorative justice team"
Oh dear have to send them to Youth Court.
A Magistrates court by another name, but less formal so we don't scare the little mite.
Then we go through the menu of options, bind overs, Community Service orders, fines which the parents will pay, and then finally Youth Offending Institute.
Now the yobs know through their mate that the system is just a pathetic child minding service.
I was talking with an older PC who was reminiscing about the old days.
He was based at a city station, we'll call it Sandford. With his relief they were sent to assist with a regular public order problems.
The yobs of Sandford Cross would come to Sandford Abbey to fight, the following week there would be a return match would be held at the other venue.
This night it kicked off in the police station car park. The SPG de-bused. They beat anyone who stood there ground or failed to run away fast enough. Local Officers came at the Abbey Cross yobs from the other side. The police casualties included a DS with a broken arm and a dog handler with three broken fingers.
The dog went wild biting everything.
Two arrest ensued but the local casualty was full of battered and bruised yobs that night.
The following week police attended the re-match and did exactly the same.
There was hardly any public order trouble after that.
Another story was about Charlie who was built like a brick outhouse.
Charlie would walk up to a group of unruly yobs.
Charlie would ask "Which one of you the hard nut then"
He'd say "Come on which of you is the toughest".
One would eventually step forward.
Charlie would then punch the foolish youth, knocking him out.
He'd then ask "Right which of you is the toughest".
None of them would step forward this time.
Those days have disappeared and the yobs have to find someone else to torment, to try and provoke a response.
Well if you pick on the fireman, maybe you'll get a response.
BUT the problem is that until the response comes, not because they ambush Fire Officers but because they are gathering in a menacing and intimidating group, then thing will just get worse.
Meanwhile the Firebrigade installs CCTV onboard overloaded fire appliances to try and get these yobs into the impotent justice system.
