Britain Today.

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.

I had no qualms of your posting the video, nor do I think I missed the general direction of it, or why you posted it. I was referring more to the comments by citizens posted in the video, ostensibly to support the officer, but really looking more like they were in the direction of just trashing Israel for defending itself.

It just gripes my ass that so many private citizens are willing to jump on the enemy's bandwagon in order to appear to be cool and trendy. I cannot fathom why they are willing to cut their own throats to hand over a victory to their enemies. It's an alien thought process to me.

I have no great love for Israel, but if Israel is not allowed to defend herself, then no other nation should be able to, either, in the interest of fairness. If Israel, as a sovereign nation, is to be disallowed to defend itself, then ALL nations should be equally castrated.

On the subject of the officer herself, I believe she ought to be fired. Not for having an opinion, because opinions are like assholes, everybody has one and most stink, but for taking a political stance while in uniform. That gives a perception that the constabulary is no longer impartial. if a constabulary is not impartial, how can they reasonably be expected to provide equal protections under the law?

So I think walking papers for that officer are in order. The constabulary cannot continue to promote the illusion of apolitical impartiality with officers going off willy-nilly in uniform and promoting political causes against the best interests of their charges. it's the job of the higher-ups in the hierarchy to see to it that does not go unpunished, for giving the entire force a black eye.
