      Stalker didn’t even ask for it. Cops are just incompetent and didn’t do the most basic shit, handing the stalker testimony copies with victims addr and phone number

          US are probably the most violent in the western world, but UK cops are 100% the dumbest.

    My own personal experience with specifically the City Of London police is that they’re very incompetent.
