It is all too easy to lambast the Police. But making generalisations about any group is dangerous, particularly when that group is authorised to carry batons.
But batons are not the point. The point is that the need to condemn, to pass judgement, on any civic body is - although understandable - indicative of insecurity on the part of the condemner.
A friend once told me, "look to thine own shit before you hassle me about mine."
And he was right.
Leave the Police alone. They are the necessary enforcement adjunct of most forms of government. They often deserve criticism. But they often deserve praise.
Get your own shit together and you won't feel that you need to strike out (often unfairly) at a force you perceive to be more powerful than yourself.
