We don't expect our Police to kill innocent people, repeatedly.

It appears, that unless you ‘toe the party line’, and agree with those authors who believe they are the word almighty, you are considered rubbish, stupid, infantile and aggressive, abusive and illiterate.

We are all entitled tour own opinion. I have every right to get upset when I see Police Officers behaving like idiots. I am allowed to get pissy when I see an Officer kill another officer in order to hide something that the first officer has done wrong. I am allowed by law to get angry when a police officer abuses their powers to drive at breakneck speeds with no flashing lights or sirens and kills a young innocent teenager girl.

We pay enough to dress our police, to train them, to educate them, to support them while they are sick or off duty without having them dictate to us that they have absolute right of authority as no one else could possibly know the law as well as they do.

We do not expect our senior police officers to sanction raids on innocent civilians simply because they come from the wrong ethnic side of the city.
We do not expect our officers to use their powers to kill civilians and then claim that they thought the dead victim might have had a gun.

We do not pay our police officers to swan through a hit and miss career and then offer excuses when they kill one of their own in a shooting accident in a warehouse.
We do not spend a fortune on police officers so that they can abuse their privileges and decide to stop being a senior police officer because the going has got tough and the press are taking an interest.

We do not countenance our police officers to claim their very good pay and then whinge and moan on the internet at how hard their job is or how tough it is for them. A phrase comes to mind, “If its too hot in the kitchen...”
