UK Home Secretary says about police in the UK. Something you'll never hear in the US
from the reichwing, the police groupies and their enablers
Theresa May will publicly criticise claims made by Britains most senior police officer that a rise in knife crime is linked to falls in stop and search, branding them as a kneejerk reaction and false.
In a combative speech on Thursday May will also criticise the race record of the police in England and Wales, saying they are too white, with not one of the 43 forces looking like the communities they serve.

Addressing the conference of the National Black Police Association, the home secretary will say: Properly targeted, stop and search will actually help reduce knife crime. It will save police time to focus on prevention and work with gangs, and it will improve the relationship between the police and the public on which all of your work rests.
We must not jettison all that good work for the sake of a kneejerk reaction on the back of a false link.

I don't like almost everything Theresa May says. But, this I do agree with and would love to hear it in the US
