There are a lot of good cops who do a great job of protecting the public, but there are periodic incidences, in which some "law enforcement officers" appear to miss the boat, entirely.
Such was the case, regarding a recent situation in the UK.
Law-abiding citizen Sydney Davis and his family wanted nothing more than to live peaceably in their home. However, their desire was thwarted, due to the actions of a few young thugs. They tormented the family by throwing stones at their house and it went on for the better part of two years. According to reports, the Davis home was attacked over 700 times.
When they called the cops to report yet another attack more recently, nobody showed up immediately, and when a sizable stone came crashing through the kitchen window, Davis decided he had had enough of the abuse.
The frustrated husband and father allegedly got a wooden plank and went outside, with the intentions of threatening the hoodlums and an arrest was made...of Sydney Davis.
Charged with possessing an "offensive weapon", he could get prison time, while the thugs that threw the stones ran off at the cops' arrival and are still walking around free.
