Police 'Too Busy' for Crack Addicts

Exclusive: Busman Paul drives junkies to police but they say: We are too busy By Gary Anderson 10/09/2007
A public-spirited busman thought he was doing his duty when he discovered two junkies on board were smoking crack - and drove straight to a police station.
But passengers who raced in to alert police were stunned when officers claimed they were too busy - and suggested they dial 999 and get someone else.
Driver Paul Gibbs, 48, waited 10 minutes and then reluctantly drove off when he realised no one was coming.
Bizarrely, police later sent two officers on HORSEBACK, who had little chance of catching the bus in the crowded inner-city streets. Disbelieving Paul said: "We were at one of Europe's biggest police stations but no one could be bothered to come out and solve a crime right on their doorstep. Advertisement
"There must have been hundreds of officers inside but they couldn't find one to nip up to the top deck of my bus. It's no surprise people think they can get away with anything."
The druggies brazenly inhaled from a crack pipe on a crowded, mid-morning No47 bus heading for Lewisham, South London. Commuters alerted Paul when the pair ignored pleas to stop. One said: "It was clear it was crack.
The bus was filling with fumes and I asked them to stop as there were mums and kids on board, but they took no notice."
The man, who declined to be named but was among passengers who dashed into Lewisham police station, added: "When the driver took us there I thought the men would be arrested within minutes.
I was stunned when officers said no one was available.
"It sends a terrible message if people can smoke hard drugs on a public bus and get away scot-free."
Amazingly, bosses at East London Bus Group refused to release CCTV that could help nail the culprits, citing data protection laws.
Police admitted: "It was registered as requiring immediate response but no teams were available due to policing demands."

yeah its fucked up
they probably picked a mother kiddie bus on purpose,id have liked to see the outcome if they had have got an early bus full of male workers on board but that isnt going to happen
what the pigs did(or didn't do)is no shock at all
also the bus driver and if there were other men on board could have made citizens arrests too,you know do the pigs job for them

Don't know about you guys, but I would be seriously pissed if I was late to work because some shmuck of a bus driver decided to take a detour to the cop shop and play vigilante rather than following his route. I'd be equally pissed at the guys lighting up on the bus.

What objects are you proposing to yourself? Are they the objects you really value? If they are not, you are cheating yourself.

But success in getting after much labor what you really don't care for is the bitterest and most ridiculous failure." -George Santayana

This surprises some of you people? We're talking about England, right? Some of the highest taxes and most backward policies in the world and people act like they just got slapped in the face when their police force won't arrest a couple of crackheads on a bus. Of course, the same can be said about the States.
