I know of no circumstances that would make defending one's own nation or the citizens thereof from unprovoked attacks to be a "war crime" or "indiscriminate murder" or any of the other opinions expressed. That would make the British defense of the UK during WWII against German attackers to also have been a "war crime", and I am certain it wasn't.
Israel is in the same boat, what with daily unprovoked rocket attacks against it's own territory, just as Britain was done to in WWII by German V-42 rockets. If Israel is guilty of "war crimes" for the offence of defending itself, then so was Britain for doing the same in WWII against Nazi Germany, and I cannot abide by such opinion.
Everyone has a right to self defense against attack, regardless of their skin color or headgear or religious conviction.
Yeah, I agree... and maybe I should have given my reason for posting the video.
Sorry.

My point was that recently, with the UK Police taking the knee at a George Floyd rally in London,
Pubically-funded Police vehicles being painted to support Gay rights and law enforcement leaders
deciding it was better to allow a certain group to destroy a statue in Bristol, my perception of what
the Police Force is, is wrong!
I believed they were paid to be apolitical public servants who's focus is to make sure citizens come
to no harm in a general running of a society. Their official position demands no opinion except the
ones involving their employment.
This Syrian/British Police Officer is indicating such a perception is incorrect.
