Back in December, police chased -- and stopped -- "alleged" "allegedly armed" criminals in a high speed vehicle chase. Police hierarchy are "investigating" 26 police officers over their actions during the chase. Now the police union suggests that its members do not chase criminals -- at least not until the chase rules are clear.
The Acting CoP (Chief of Police) says, "What we don't want is for offenders to feel like it's a good time to take on police"
Well no.
What we want -- apparently -- is for police to be hamstrung. hog-tied. Prevented from any actions which may make criminals feel under-valued or under threat.
What we want -- apparently -- is for criminals to have every opportunity to pursue their chosen careers. Occasional r&r in prison. Quick release on bail. Perhaps an apology and recompense from police who serve and protect the public.
Is that really what we want?
If so... then who is this "we" that wants more rights for alleged criminals than for police.
