Those of us in the 'mushy middle' have to do as much as we can to bring this terrible behaviour by our civil service to the 'public' attention.
Yes - there are hate mongers and violent offenders working in police and military, and sometimes even position of power. They don't have the luxury of imposing their extreme views on those of us who pay their salaries.... ie. the mushy middle.
The overriding issue in this situation appears to be political interference in police operations, imo.
Nonetheless, police are accountable for their actions, including any actions or inactions that may have been politically influenced: It is their responsibility to do their jobs "impartially", regardless.
