Yes, yes. A hundred upvotes!
Policing is hard, and I have great respect for those who do the job (with the exception of the idiot this article is about, obviously).
Unfortunately for them, it is deliberately hard, and will not get easier: that is what we (law-abiding society) want. Policing could easily be abused by those in power (inside or outside the police force) and it will remain cash-strapped, difficult and subject to hard decisions about how to prioritise resources. Because that is the only way to protect society from a police state while keeping crime to low levels.
