This will shock you but jobs are prioritised according to seriousness and work load
Think the problem is if you are sending 6 blokes to deal with one overweight dying bloke showing you his buttocks you are never going to have anyone available to respond to the burglar cutting the old womans throat down the road.

When The Plods get a call, is it
“Come and help us with this overweight, sickly person”…?
or
“Come and help us with a big bloke, who`s kicking off”…?
Decisions are made on information available at the time.

Indeed Franglais.
Most of the coppers I know would be only too keen to apprehend a burglar about to commit murder (admittedly a couple might not hear the call [emoji6])
And I’m fairly sure that of the 6 at the naked bum offender scene, 4 were available for a more serious job if required.
As an aside I once had my cheek shattered by a big bloke in his 60s… didn’t appear to have the numerous health ailments of the other bloke though. He had the cheek to demand medical assistance once nicked though [emoji16]

It usually makes sense to deploy more than enough resources to an incident that sounds a bit tasty - It’s really easy to stand some of them down en route if not needed or something more serious needs attention, not so easy to magic up a few more pairs of hands if the first unit on scene shouts “HELP!”

Incidentally seem to recall 2 of the 6 were fairly petite women

Perfect sense in many ways.
Also, some one who “fancies hisself” might carry on against one or two, but might just see sense if confronted with half a dozen?
Less damage to Cops and the subject.
Incident closed down quickly, and the extraneous Cops are free to carry on… arresting false number plate purveyors etc.

Absolutely.
Most want to do the right thing, for all the right reasons.
A few might have urgent paperwork to suddenly attend to… but that`s what comes of employing human-beings.

A win:win situation - Original public order incident defused satisfactorily, plus a few VDRS notices for dodgy numberplates to tick the performance stats boxes!
You’ve won me over,.I get it now.
If ever my gaff gets burgled., I’m now going to contacti the Police and INSIST they immeadiatelly send round 6 constables. 
I’ll let you all know how I get on. 
Should old bill attend a possibly violent incident with a single patrol if others are available?
We have no idea how this ‘gentleman’ behaved to the camera operator though I seem to recall it wasn’t portrayed as benign. Then of course we have the issue of refusing to answer the door…how would you expect old bill to react?
This gentleman has now claimed he did it all to highlight his medical condition and draw attention to fund raising. The cynic in me wonders why this is only now coming to light.
He’s also revelling in the Banksy caricature.
Ill or not, old bill have an alleged offence with an immediately identifiable suspect and an official complaint. Being ill generally isn’t an excuse to break the law

The blokes “crime” was showing his buttocks to a speed van - anyone in their right mind would have smiled to themselves and said “fair enough”. That some pompous policeman should get 5 mates so he could get his own back cos he looked a bit silly is obviously an utter disgrace.
Shows you how busy they are - all going round 6 handed to his house.
Lets face it - the chances of a dying pensioner attacking 6 policemen is pretty unlikely. And if you need 6 men armed with pepper sprays batons and tasars to subdue a dying pensioner its time for a rethink.

In what sense is mooning a copper in a speed van “possibly violent”? The dying pensioner wasnt even there - he had gone home - they had to track him down to his home through his car - they could have sent a letter. They only went 6 handed cos this stupid copper wanted his own back for being made to look like the idiot he is. Or he was bored sitting in the speed van and fancied duffing up a old dying pensioner with cancer.
The next time you need the police ask for 6 of them. See how lucky you get. Ive heard the only way to get the police out of the doughnut shop is to shout “officer down, officer down”. Then they turn up.

I count 5 massive male coppers in the photo holding him down - did you see two women as well?
Ive certainly never worked anywhere that would have 6 men/women stood round with so little to do they track down a bloke mooning to his house and then send half the car fleet round after him. What does that tell you about how busy they are?
