The Met Police are indeed recruiting the wrong kind of officers. 20 years ago, here in the UK, our police forces (now called police services) valued brave men, ex armed forces types, etc. These days, they prefer university 'educated' (indoctrinated, wet-wipe) types.
Go soft on crime and the causes of crime.... crime goes thorough the roof! It's not rocket science.
I'm not quite sure why this incident in Paris gets posted in this thread? But, just comply with police requests. If an armed police officer is pointing a sub-machine gun at your chest and tells you to stop....just stop! Do as you are told!!!
I'd personally rather armed police didnt stop me, with a gun pointing at me, if that is ok?
