There may/may not be logic to the closing of the police stations. The PR from the top brass is that in exchange we have more officers on the street. The Police Association (which is hardly the credible, independent voice for sense in law enforcement and justice issues that it pretends to be -- it's a trade union to advance the narrow interests of its members first and foremost) disagrees.

Who knows who's right? And whether the police's budget freeze is legitimate (in the sense that they have enough money to do what they need to do or that they need pressure to become more efficient) is not likely to be something that you can have an informed view on.

Nothing about this issue can legitimately be used as part of an even admittedly simplistic "LOL SHOWZ HOW FUCKING NATIONAL IS FUCKING UP THE ECONOMY" rant. Either make some sense or shut the fuck up.
