    Any surprise, considering the good ones are always under-resourced, under-stretched, and enmeshed to an institution that’s corrupt and feral to its core?

    I know somebody who was very keen on the Guards but decided not to continue.

    The main reasons are they wouldn’t have a clue where they would be based. No idea if it’s a 30 minute commute or 2 hours.

    Secondly, what’s the point arresting people for their 45th conviction if they will just get away with it and have their 46th conviction next month?
