I just watched footage on the BBC of police men & women approach a sword wielding guy in North East London who had earlier seriously injured two other police officers who had tried to stop him. It must be brave, knowing what he had just done to their colleagues and still have to do the job. It was later confirmed that one of the people he stabbed, a 14 year old boy, died!! Really awful!
Yes, some will say the police officers chose that job and they have been trained and get paid, but the reality is simple: society, in particular, today’s society cannot do without the police. When you see and listen to how people behave & what they say, you wouldn’t want to experience a minute with the deterrent that the police represent. We have so many awful people who, if unchecked, will rampantly do really awful things.
