The Police don’t make the rules, they just try their best to enforce them within the remit of the law.

I think that in addition to going through the correct channels, it is important to raise awareness anywhere and everywhere, however small the audience.

Lawful is not necessarily morally correct so I wonder at what point a police officer says I don't agree with this law and refuse to enforce it or leave the force. I have people very close to me in the force who justify their actions as just 'following the law' and I although I understand they have their own conditions guiding their actions I cannot agree with them. I have also been told that in the recruitment process applicants who display empathy are not recruited?
Everyone has different moral standards, so what is morally correct for one might be different for another.
My limited experience of the recruitment process suggests that you have to Denise a level of emotional awareness.
For not empathising? Not sure about that one within the process. It certainly helps when on the frontline in dealing with and resolving situations.

Also, in my experience, the police are trained to use the full weight of their powers to shut down situations as quickly and unequivocally as possible and need little encouragement to do so.

So what are the particular public order issues that don't apply to, say, every football match every Saturday afternoon? I think you must realise that's a straw-clutchingly weak argument, not least because it's not one that anyone in authority has been foolish enough to make.
So tell me what are these new laws that were introduced this week then if not to do just that? Somebody has been foolish enough to make them.

Well, I’ve enjoyed the coronation. I swore the oath and had a hint of tears in my eyes when the soldiers cheered.

Have to say I enjoyed it too. Some of the new music was a bit eclectic for my taste but overall it was great!
