Didn't the police start ramming the moped cellphone thieves. Why not do the same to this scum.... obviously the bike might be a casualty but insurance and atleast the police can nab the waste of oxygen 

If they remove helmets police suspend the chase for ‘safety reasons’ don’t they?????

Not that i think i would want to find out - please dont get me wrong, i have been through the wringer now twice…but i still have to wonder if a mildly troubled ‘firstworld snowflake’ kid stealing bicycles would have it in him to ACTUALLY strike a person with a hardware store machete? I think you have to be a special kind of broken to get yourself to do that. 
Here when a guy chases you with whatever, you know full well he has every intention of using it and wont hesitate to take your life if you resist. Thats the difference. Maybe these relatively petty criminals in those countries are realising that masquerading as a violent criminal with intent gets results easier since ‘most’ people there arent used to this kind of thing. Doesn't make it right, just thinking out loud.

Nah, there’s an epidemic of violent crime across the UK.  I read the right-leaning Mail and the lefty Mirror daily and there are daily reports of teens being stabbed or panga’d by other teens.  Also, 1 500 drug dealers arrested in just the last week.  I see Mattie Dodds had 6 bikes stolen from him in London last week.
