...of which there is none. 'It's actually decreased a whopping 72% since 1995.

Violent crime is probably at its lowest point in at least fifty years.

Never mind eh? If theres no violent crime at present the government will soon change that.
Can't waste the talents of all those all those part time psychos desperate to taze people in the name of "Public Order".
