Have the police forgotten they serve us?

This is a thought provoking video

how times have changed

We, I think, have forgotten the police are our servants,public servants, not the states storm troopers. Most individual police officers are good, but that's there job, the police as a service however is another matter.

Aren't they a police "force" as opposed to a service?

Nope, it's a service.

The police are not, and never have been, "our servants".

That's simply is incorrect.

Nope, it's a service.

Not according to "direct gov."

No, they are there to uphold the law and keep order - protecting people and property, not to serve you!

The modern police are by and large an utter disgrace.

I remember our old beat bobby from my childhood days (PC Whitaker), the days when you had to be that little bit special to get into the force and he was a world away from the thugish bullys we have today.

I take it you are still upset about being arrested.

... a world away from the thugish bullys we have today.

Are you referring to the Police or the uneducated, very demanding, whining, thieving, drugged up direspectful youth of today?

Pedantic? Are the police here to serve the public?
