There aren’t enough of us. Hard-working police officers are continually having days off cancelled, working longer shifts and being moved from other areas to facilitate these protests.
Our concentration should be on keeping people safe at a time when the country is on heightened alert from a terrorist attack. We are emotionally and physically exhausted. What are politicians and senior police officers going to do about it?
Something makes me think that they will displace their anger towards the cardboard-wielding “terrorists”, not their bosses and politicians for making them arrest people for writing 4 words on cardboard.
I hope the UK police are ashamed of themselves…. Probably not.
They are!

Their union should be balloting for strike action at this work. Some might be ashamed, but clearly not enough of them
The uk police are not allowed to strike .
They can still ballot I believe
