The Government doesn’t care until they have to, until it gets so embarrassing they have no other choice.

And a death is such a turning point.

Whether a fog cannon or the like would have saved any of this, we can’t know. What we do know is not everything that should have been done, was.

And as a result of that, yet again, the Government traipses into a meeting room to try and formulate a plan as to how they talk themselves out of the political trouble that has, yet again, arrived at their door step.

Because 1) their policy on crime is dangerously wrong and, 2) their arrogance when things are obviously not working prevents them from addressing it.

Until of course, it’s too late.
