I don't want to find this guy funny, but I can't help myself with this one:
With regards to PCSOs, I have two friends who do it - it's a bloody tough job and I think they do it well. They know almost all of the little scrotes on the estate they work on by name and if not, by face and spend time speaking to them and being a police presence in that area - something which normal police don't have the time to do. I don't know about the system as a whole, but I speak for these guys when I say that I think they are doing a damn good job in the area that they have been placed.
It's so easy to criticise, but even amongst all the crap and injustice that goes on in systems like these there's plenty of good and we would all be a bit screwed if they weren't there.
