Re: A possibly explosive question.
@Peter2
I will join you to some extent regarding police trust. The Police I come across on almost every shift I work ( a busy A/E Dept. ) do seem to be worthy of our trust.
I have yet to see one giving any sort of abuse ( verbally or physically ) to anyone under their 'care' irrespective of the type of abuse I have seen them subject to. The only despair I suffer is fact that they brought the drugged up / drunken / violent / abusive knob-heads to us in the first place!
I think the real problem begins as people of any profession start to enter the heady upper echelons. I suggest that this is the point they become divorced from the reality of the job they initially entered.
Once insulated from the cause and effect of the sharp end of life, great proclamations give them a feel good factor despite them no longer being rooted in reality.
