I see your point now Fragony and have to say it's valid.

But it also won't happen, I don't know why, I never understood it either, but policemen have a tendency to avoid certain problematic areas, it's the same in almost every country. Instead of going there and beating the out of certain criminal kids, they rather hide.
This is an attempt to get the policemen back into such areas without using force, maybe my initial reaction comes from the fact that I have almost given up hope that policemen will ever walk into such areas not fearing a bunch of teenagers.

They can gather a lot of men to protect a neonazi march but they cannot get enough men to make some teenage gangs obey the law. Whenever I hear about that I feel like we don't have a nanny state but a sissy state, or maybe a combination of both.

Another thing comes to mind though and that's how Europe developed in that respect, we started out with priests telling the people to obey their landlord because God wants it and ended up as whatever we are now(seperation of state and church, thought five minutes but the word escapes me).

Also note that as I said before, clubbing them will only make them hate the police more.
