I believe in an earlier post i highlighted the real problem here. Lack of funding for our police to care. They aren't paid enough as civil servants to warrant their taking risk in a crime situation. It's sad but true.
What should we doing then? Not taking the law into our own hands. We should be pushing/voting to make changes within our communities/nation to see it happen.
But are we ready for the consequence of higher paid civil servants? Higher taxes are a definite result of said situation, is just one scenario.
What if someone said tomorrow if we could live like the Swiss or Danish, in a highly protected society with a gov't that cares (Even the unemployed get a house to live in and a car) for its people but we'd have to sacrifice 50% or more of our earned income, would we do it? Are we prepared to make the sacrifices?
You see crime is a by product of not having enough of anything, especially if the living standards are poor. It's a socio-economic issue not an issue of one person deserving an ass kicking for trying to make ends meet. If the criminal was a rich fella and stealing out of greed then by all means throw the proverbial book at him, and request for the death sentence.
BUT that's not the case is it?
