This is the interesting question posed by UK Commentator. The papers have all reported that a crazy crowd attacked and injured two “brave” police officers in Croydon recently.
I notice that the police, like soldiers, are always brave in our newspapers’ view of the world. Somehow this only applies to those wearing the uniform of this country and that of some of our allies. Strange that.
Anyway, are we certain that the media got this story right? Could our “brave” police officers be capable of the kind of brutality that provoked community riots in previous decades? Shurely not!
Regarding the photo above: I spent the day in Croydon at a friend’s house-warming party. On a shelf in the kitchen he has an array of religious symbols to appease him.
