It would appear that the police in Norfolk have been forced to recognize that the people who pay their wages are not idiots. When a gang of Irish travellers staged a rampage involving theft and violence in Cromer, the police just watched and did nothing. Afterwards, they tried to dismiss the assault on the town as ‘low-level disturbances’.
It has taken the chief constable three weeks to apologize to his customers for a pathetic attempt to spin away a near riot. Naturally, there is a chief superintendent investigating the police failings. No doubt, with a big bucket of whitewash at the ready.
The plain fact of the matter is that the police failed to do the job they are paid to do. But, of course, no one will get the sack for misconduct in a public office.
