Police

[JBR]

A very interesting discussion on t'telly right now (on YouTube):  "Senior Police Are Not On Your side"

A former police officer stating, among other things, that the police are now being directed to 'deal with' people in a different way which could be described as 'two tier policing'.  
The so-called 'College of Policing' demonstrates by its name that police are now expected to obtain a degree in policing.  He asserts that this is counter productive, and that the police traditionally were down to earth, practical, and experienced in life in general, and that having to obtain a degree is both unnecessary and creating a less effective type of police.  This politicising of the police is not to our advantage.
I wonder how others feel about this.
