Whichever way it is, at least Paul Stephenson has had the courage to come down on the correct side

Its more likley to be some PR guru suggesting it be done as a 'damage limitation exercise'. From my experience, common sense would not have played any part in this decision, although I stand to be astounded, sorry, corrected.

Ever thought, of, erm.................... writing a 'behind the public facade' book???
On the other hand, no serving Police Officer would do such a thing would they???????????? :-k
-
Its already been done by numerous others. I'm sure the Public already know the reality of it all.
Its not worth my pension.

P Female police officers issued headscarves for dealing with Musilms? I hope they have the right to decline it.

I'm glad someone else brought that one up.
I did actually right a very longwinded and I thought balanced view on this, but then I realised that this is religion and we don't do religion on here :roll: :oops:
-
This is (moderated) just caus the Muzzers want to hide behind headscarfs why should the Police lower them-selves too??????
...and to allow them to wear uniform in a gay parade when off-duty is alarmly terrible!!

In my opinion (and that's all it is) if policemen want to support/be recognised as part of the gay community, that's their choice. Not my cup of tea but it's their right to choose, fair enough.
As for forcing a police officer to adopt a tradition that is part of someone else's religion =; are they saying that's more important than the officer's right to follow their own beliefs [-X
My (limited) experience of other faiths leads me to think they would see this as hypocrysy, it won't win any respect if the token gesture comes at the expense of an individuals right to choose.

I was always under the impression that my job was to catch the bad guys, get them to court with sufficent evidence to lock the little [!Expletive Deleted!] up, therefore giving the law abiding Public a break from their illegal activities.
Perhaps I've been doing something wrong for most of my career.
Have any of you ever reached a point in your work, where you think "what the hell am I doing this for"?
I am just about to reach that point.
