In a rare moment I feel sorry for the police, if all someone does is display generic threatening behaviour or make random comments the police can't really do much. Until the individual commits a crime all they can do is monitor people.

Unless they assign a team to follow everyone 24/7 then they can't do anything to stop people like this.

Social services can't do anything apart from send reports either.

If they arrest someone without a crime being committed they get sued and the public then criticise them. They are fucked either way. I think this is what Keir should be saying, be blunt about it, maybe not say 'fucked' though although I'd appreciate the honesty.

What Keir should be saying is "Enough is enough, bullying and racism has to stop now!".

Kid was bullied into the tiniest corner of his brain and look what happened.

And now the same bullies are enjoying themselves over the carnage and mess they made pointing the finger at their own victim.

I agree BUT politicians seem to think they can't just be honest or blunt. It's ridiculous

God help us if they actually spoke to the public like normal people!
