Fast forward 25 years and....ermm.
That's what it was all about !
There was respect and fear. The Cops had authority and did what they were supposed to do....enforce the laws. Now there's nothing like that. I miss the days when no one carried a knife and kids didn't know their 'rights'...a kick in the arse didn't create a law suit.................old fart rant.
