Maybe if they’d stop ‘celebrating’ and catch some criminals instead, things would look a whole lot better. They seem to spend their time with hours of in-house bickering; not only that, half of them jobs could be done by civilians. Put them police out to walk the beat instead of them all plain-clothes, trying to look important.
