Since I didn't say "a nearly 20% increase in violent crime is nothing to worry about," there cannot be a "flaw" in my logic. Looking at the longer trend, this doesn't look like "violent crime is soaring" and policing in the UK is "tragically comical." In any case, the graph alone doesn't suggest the "police model" is the cause. If "the UK model is dying" as you claim, then the article you posted suggests Brits may be leaning towards police reform along the lines of US reformers.

Police forces are committed to tackling violent crime and those having offensive weapons, but need to work alongside other organisations like the Home Office "because this is not something that can be solved by policing alone," he said.
"Rising crime, increased terrorist activity and fewer police officers have put serious strain on the policing we offer to the public," he added.
"We are determining the additional capabilities and investment we need to drive down violence and catch more criminals - and we will make the case at the next government spending review."

No idea what you are referring to. Were I to make such a claim I would cite/quote the offending posts.
