  I think the fundamental problem is that the Police Force have lowered their minimum entry standards of education in order to attract more people into the service. It has happened in my old service where the minimum requirements were 5 'O's 2'A's a Degree and another language.Recently I saw an advert for the Service stating..."no formal qualifications required". Yes I agree education does not maketh the person but it is some form of measure by which to assess the applicants background.
  
  The Police do a very difficult dangerous and unenviable task but in doing so they must rise above the crimbo, protestor and fraudster.Acting like thugs in London does nothing to enhance the Polices reputation within the community at home or abroad.
  
  The incident that PaulB refers to is a perfect example of Police thuggery.The poor man was walking away and had his back to the Police Officer that struck him.A cowardly act in anyones book. Maybe he was following the example set by Maggie Thatcher and the sinking of the Belgrano as it fled the no go zone in that the chap posed a clear and present danger. *ollocks.
  
  They are paid to uphold the law and prevent it not flout it.
