And you base this on experience? On what exactly? Have you been through recruitment process? Have you actually met and spoken to a police person lately?Sorry - but you sign up for that so lets not get into that defence mechanism.
You are supposed to uphold the law no matter what the situation - with backup if dealing with a crowd or Riot Police / Armed Response!!
Unfortunately, one of the biggest issues with the Police these days, is there are far too many Oompa Loompas in the service and Specials that could't even catch a cold.
