More bobbies, more arrests? What's all this then?

Today I was in King Street in Hammersmith and I saw this attached to a street light. Now from the first of April it seems there will be a few more boys in blue with tits on their heads plodding up and down Hammersmith.

But at the bottom it says in capital letters MORE ARRESTS. Hang on, if there's a few more police officers plodding up and down is that supposed to deter crime and create less arrests? Process of elimination suggests that this is not a crime prevention measure after all, but a step towards making Britain more of a police state than it already is. What will they arrest us for? Dropping bits of our sandwiches? Possession of long hair and beards? 'Looking at me in a funny way'?

Also, look at the pictures. The copper (the one with the tit on his head) is black. The community support officer (the plastic pig) is Asian/Indian. Is that not pandering to the political correctness brigade? Would it be condidered racist for them to use white officers in these pictures? Or are they just trying to use a politically correct disclaimer to absolve them from the amount of black people they're going to victimise? The black and Asian people in the picture will be used to spin that they are not a racist institution, but that's obviously smoke and mirrors. We know the truth. This stinks of Orwellian doublethink combined with creeping fascism.

On the plus side, at least is was a warm sunny day when I took this picture!
