    Some great answers above/below:

    • ACAB - of course! ALL cops!
    • Cops work for the billionaire class. They do the bidding of their masters - yep, sure
    • Police protect property, not people - so true

    /s

    The police are there to enforce the law. Are all police officers perfect, no. Is anyone perfect, no.

    My point being, you should want the police to follow the law and enforce it. From the article, they were enforcing a law around the Public Order Act.

    So doesn’t the problem really exist with those who make the law, not those who enforce it?

    (Ok, I’ll get off my high horse now)

        Come on. There’s quite a difference between the police following the law, and people being lead to their death.

        If you disagree with the police following the law, what alternative would you suggest?
