In part I agree with that. I mentioned the criminal justice bill the other day, policing that legislation was a direct knee jerk political reaction to trying to clamp down on a particular group (of mainly left wing) people. Also the Miners strike is a classic example of the Police being used as a political tool to quash protest.
Overall though, we need a Police force and I would argue that the majority of people would agree to being Policed by consent.
Besides, you've called them too many times to have any real complaints mate
