This is terrible. I don't believe any sane, decent person would try to defend the actions of the bad ones.
I am very sorry that more than some women have had bad experiences of police.
I am just an ordinary member of the public, and feel we have no other choice but to go to them in times of danger and need. That is their job.
Maybe, there needs to be some sort of feedback process, also they should have to give their service no.
Still, despite the politics at the top. With some 'head banging' at the top levels, better budgets, and higher standards; we can have community policing in pairs. With maybe some of the buildings recovered, cos' online reporting isn't working for me.
