BEAT BOBBIES

For several days now the press and TV have been reporting on the search for the teenage killer of Rhys Jones an 11 year old boy. Arrests have been made of several teenagers who were then released. Once again police have been appealing for witnesses and/or information that could lead to the killer. Of course if there had been bobbies on the beat, as some in the community had requested, they might have built up a rapport and known what was happening on their patch. As things stand police seem to zoom into an area after disaster strikes and might as well be men from Mars.
