Since Thatcher and the battles with the Trade Unions in the 80's the function and politicisation of the police has contributed to the position we are in today.
Their appearance is such that they look like an occupying army and certainly the notion of policing by consent is finished
The police we had has been sacrificed in the name of expediency, stupidity and PC madness how anyone can do the job nowadays is beyond me
