She is right.
I don't agree.
For too long these 'violent moped criminals' have had it their own way
and maybe if they weren't often carrying hammers, knives or acid to
use on those they target it *might* be a different matter.
So the Police are only fighting fire with fire and if the crims don't
want to risk getting hurt (hurt like many of their *innocent*
victims), then they know what they need to do?
With a 4 wheeled vehicle the Police can sting or stand more chance of
blocking them in, neither are so easy with a two wheeler.
You can't safely stop a two wheeler with another two wheeler or on
foot (or not without more risk all round).
So, you either just leave them to get on with their crimes or do
something about it. Not sure what else there is?
