I am as pro "Thin Blue Line" as the next pede but the UK government has turned the UK police into the paramilitary wing of its authoritarian ambitions.
When you have cops kidnapping and murdering women and their colleagues attack the women who turn out for a candle light/prayer vigil for the victim, then the police have lost my trust and support.
When you have cops taking a knee for BLM and then attacking lock down protesters, literally throwing 80 year old ladies in the back of vans, then the police have lost my trust and support.
When you have cops beating and arresting military veterans for wanting to lay a wreath at the cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday, then the same cops allow Extinction Rebellion to stage a "protest" at the same site an hour later, then the police have lost my trust and support.
Political "policing" is NOT policing, it's the corrupt application of coercion, violence and force in service to the tyrannical ambitions of politicians.
