You really don’t come across well .

For pointing out the police are under resourced and prioritise more serious offences?

and your point is what ? 

i'm not here  to  massage your  ego or play  the good little girl ...

this is the operational reality of  life under blue lights in  Selfservative  britain, whether it;s a white car with blue +yellow  checkers  a red lorry with red and yellow checkers or yellow Van with Green and Yellow checkers , the  resourcing is ona knife edge much of  the time 

where is the threat to life or limb from a bit of loud music ? why  does that merit  an Immediate  999 response ? can you  justify  the DRA  to attend  that call with no threat to life or limb on blue lights ?

the problem is there are too many people in Britain ( Selfservative and UKIP / Reform voters  in partiular) who want   the moon on stiock   but  can;t  get their  head around the fact you can only perm 2 orf 3  of Quick/Cheap /good  from a service unless you are prepared to  throw significant sums  at tit to  provide  sufficient  resources that  you  never , ever, go 'state zero'  and have to start choosing what to send to  and  diverting  resources off one Immediate / Cat 2  to  one  which is even higher risk

 it;s abundantly clear you have no idea  of the extent of the legitimiate and necessary  workload of the Police

no one is actually harmed  by loud music , when  on a night  the Police are strecthced out with RTCs, Dangeours drivers,  criminals who use the road net work as part of  organised crime , Violence against people  ( both Night time economy and domestic) , ensuring the safety of children and vulnerable adults and  direct and current risks of serious harm , which of those do you want them to neglect  to respond to your  complaint of trivial Anti social behaviour

Listen here!   What do mean nobody is actually harmed by loud music,  try getting no sleep the night before you have to drive an Class 1 articulated vehicle the next morning on busy Motorways for 12 hours.  Stop Trolling.

Politics and  suicidal choices of  Selfservative voters over the past 14 years  are the direct cause of the crisis in public services

My bold 

Same here when reports of street racing on our road are made. Chavs in cars racing up and down almost daily and sometimes the speeds are utterly ridiculous. On some nights multiple neighbours have called to report it but nothing ever seems to happen. Last year one of these chavs hit a car with a family in it coming out of McDonald's car park. Luckily no one was hurt but damn it was close.

Exactly,  the stuff the the Police choose to lgnore leads to accidents and murders ect.  Shop lifting is rife along with other offences because there is no deterrent.  Over the previous years look how many Women and Men have lost their lives due to domestic abuse/violence because the Police  used to deem it nonchalant.

The police in this case have failed massively in this case. Although there is no current offence of causing death by dangerous cycling there was an option for them to charge the rider with Wanton & Furious cycling leading to injury or death.

It's an old law but there are recent precedants for it's use, notably the conviction of Charlie Alliston. Sadly it only carries a maximum sentence of 2 years but it's better than nothing. 

I have previously reported cyclists 'street-racing', which in my view is what Fitzgerald and his group were doing, only to be told that police cannot stop them. 

There's a massive disparity when it comes to dealing with errant cyclists vs any other road user, including pedestrians. In recent months a PEDESTRIAN was jailed for manslaughter because she shouted at a cyclist riding at her on the pavement and startled the rider who then swerved into traffic  and was hit. 

The current setup is imbuing cyclists with the idea that they are virtually untouchable.

I thought they always were, you never hear of any being penalised for traffic offences

100% agree and when the brown stuff hits the swirly thing what do we hear?
