So the Police nationally have re-vetted everyone and found a minor percentage who they will be investigating. Can we now do the same with local councillors, MPs, NHS and Teachers ?

When I see some of the comments on Police Use of Force, I really wish a Production Company would put together a series explaining it properly. I know some comments are from the anti-police brigade but I believe a good proportion are from people who genuinely need educating.

@GBNEWS An 11 yr old with a knife can kill you as much as a grown man. Without Taser options would be Parva Spray, which doesn't always work, followed by batons. So what's best ? 5 seconds of pain from taser or potentially multiple broken bones from batons.
