I went in Canada Im so happpy that people fear police there nobody don't ever think about silly actions.
All the world Police should see Canada police as example.
I don't agree that someone get robbed on the street mobile phones or robbed in the middle of day light.
We need armed forces on the street and If anyone do Even one silly move their hands will be braked and police dogs will haunt them down
I don't think is all about having armed forces on the street that can solve the problem of street robbery but how well the government are taking good care of the police, I'm talking about some other countries that have high rate of crimes. If the government don't maintain the way they handle those who commit crime (like using them in political activities) I don't think the other ones would learn from it.
Like you said about Canada and how well their police take care of crimes, it only happens when they're well paid and taken care of after service because in some countries after serving the force the government forget and abandon them but if things are going well they are ready to do their job without the cause of corruption.
Criminals only fear the policemen and women if they punish them without form of pity and the police stick to the rules and regulations, if the system is working perfectly fine then I don't see why we would be having individuals running around looking for who to steal from.
