The politicisation of the police has been a calamitous disaster. I think the rot set in when they were unionised.Theirs has been a closed shop of strange handshakes, an insular culture of nods and winks,a sense that there were beyond the law themselves and a peculiar and over developed sense of entitlement and desire for emolument over achievement,and an absurdly generous pension system with early retirement that has rendered the police force soft and complacent.The police culture on top of all that has been captured by a weird sub Marxist politically correct dynamic which sees the police arresting people for saying politically incorrect things but appearing seemingly impotent to deal with the menace of low level and hard core crime.
