But not uniformed patrols? Don't they think that seeing a police presence in the area might reassure the public and deter troublemakers?

Doesn't your quote suggest that they HAVE stepped up uniformed patrols

 

Certainly I see a regular circling of a police "troop carrier" around the Empire Road area, especially on the common ground (that used to be the church) where the older youths tend to hang around

Wow, a bit of racism with a sprinkling of ignorance thrown in for good measure.

Ignorance perhaps, but what the person said was not racist was it?

 

He was accusing the coppers of racism.

 

Of course it is.

He was targeting one minority group from an area where there are many races and intimating that they are responsible for the ongoing problems.

There are many Asian and European communities in that area.
