In a news item from London,
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/5408470.stm
a police constable has been excused from guarding the Israeli embassy because he is a Muslim.
Does this mean that police can pick and choose -- eg, not prevent violence outside an abortion clinic because the policeman is a Right-To-Lifer?
Shouldn't the police maintain the law at all times, even to protect people they personally hate? |

I agree that they should be completely impartial. Being an event organiser myself, it really pains me when the police enforce their own insecurities and prejudices onto it. |
