00:00I've had a few interactions with the police recently to do with some bullying of a child

00:05and other things and they dealt with it really well. They were very kind, considerate, continued

00:09to follow up and check things were sorted. But I think there's also in the area I live

00:14in East Leeds there is a lot of bike crime and drugs and I think it's not a fault of the police

00:23but I do think there is not enough presence in communities. I think the police do a good job

00:28in difficult circumstances. I think myself though they are a little bit tied down by

00:32political correctness these days because we have this problem of the grooming gangs

00:36in the news at the moment causing the government problems. I think the government and the police

00:40are a bit too PC and worried about actually going after certain people because it was

00:45perceived as racist when in fact they should be actually trying to implement justice for

00:48victims rather than worrying about the people they're after. We once got broken into and one

00:53said a car accident that the police came to. I've got no problems at all, no worries about them.
