'Supercop' defends UK policing


An American "supercop" who advised the Government after last summer's London riots said he is impressed with the way UK police deal with gang crime.
Bill Bratton, 64, who tackled gangs as head of police departments in New York, Boston and Los Angeles over the last two decades, told Radio 5 Live he does not believe police cuts will lead to a rise in crime.
And he hit out at those who criticise police, saying: "To blame the police, I am sorry, there are other issues at work here.
"Lots of these people are just, unfortunately, criminals.
