"...bullying police attitude - the feel they can demand anything, whether within their legal rights or not, ..."

SOME do... we need to get rid of those-- just as we need to educate some UK lawyers that not every issue is simple not this or that-- guilty or not guilty--- black or white--- right or wrong. And not every member of every class or group is stamped out like cookies/biscuits.

Hiring and training police is not easy. We need them to be intelligent and competent enough and brave enough to do the job, yet sane and calm enough to not overreact when someone doesn't do things to their liking. Same with soldiers we send into battle.. or even with school teachers in some cases.
