Would you refuse their help in apprehending the culprit?

Ha ha.

It was largely because I was attacked, hospitalised and had my bicycle
damaged that I hold the view that the police are a largely useless
rabble. Of course, the incident when my laptop was stolen and they
wouldn't do anything either also contributed.

Perhaps if they _were_ any use in that sort of a situation then they'd
be held in higher regard.

In my experience, it's only the people who've had no dealings with the
police that hold positive views of them. Those who've actually dealt
with them (let alone tried to rely on them) hold a fairly uniform
opinion.
