Either way the police will be there. If individual officers or stations want to support something then that is their prerogative. Police cuts this severe haven’t been going on for decades. I also question the selective nature of your officers per capita statistic considering there are less officers now than in 2010. There may have been an overall rise since the 60s but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t gone down in the past decade.

Millions of people use Cannabis every year. Very few users suffer from psychosis that it’s a strenuous link at best to say that Cannabis outright causes it.

Also Furrnox, what I mean is that it depends on what the person has said. If they’re threatening to blow up Buckingham palace then that’s a more serious crime than saying fuck joey Essex or something. Perhaps some people who have gone to jail also have past records or are on probabtion for previous crimes. It’s all about context.

Getting prison time for something said on twitter is insane to me.

If you want specific figures I'd recommended this article (given you can overlook it's from RT): https://www.rt.com/uk/406467-hate-crime-twitter-troll/

It's as worrying as it is common, sadly.

That's your opinion, but most medical bodies including our blessed NHS (may peace be upon it) disagree with you.

Obviously there are safety concerns that are mostly associated with younger people using it. And smoking obviously causes lung issues. But Cannabis hasn’t actually directly killed anyone.

There fates worse than death, go visit a locked ward in a psychiatric hospital.

Maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t. That isn’t the point of what we’re talking about. The police have had cuts and are saying they need more money. I doubt anybody knows more about the topic than them. Their numbers are down, crime is up and they’re struggling to cope.

They don’t “patrol” twitter, they’re doing their job by monitoring social media for crimes.

Well, at least our government isn't assassinating people for speaking out against them yet. Thanks for reminding us it could always be worse.

Democracy* can be just as flawed as an autocracy and often times is. It's why the world needs enlightened monarchs again with unlimited reform power
Check out my YT channel where I post NW www.youtube. com/c/CluelessWill

Turns out male uber-feminist Justin Trudeau groped a female reporter in 2000 and issued a f*cked up excuse/apology when confronted about it. Sad and funny at the same time given his recent #MeToo lecturing. Why is it so many of the men involved with the feminist movement turn out to be creeps?
