The police are the public, the public are the police. I understand the need and difficulties for firearms officers. However, I don’t have much sympathy for them if they are found guilty of wrongdoing. I do not want reductions in stringency and complacency to kick in. The situation in the USA has been bad for decades, I am proud of how we don’t have a policing culture like that. Let’s keep it that way.
Also, with everything going on with The Met I do not think it’s wise to strain community relations further.
