Can we trust the police?

[Marco]

Marco, I really don't think it's helpful throwing around accusations such as discriminatory/racist, which unfortunately are terms that have rather lost their potency recently as they have been applied far too indiscriminately. I realise younger people tend to accuse rapidly things they strongly don't agree with as 'Nazi' or 'Hitler', but we're surely more sophisticated than that. If you don't agree with something fine, but such emotive language doesn't help.

From the person who gave us this yesterday. If it's ok for you to use words like racism, why can't I?

Point 11 on here might be debatable given the question posited by this thread, but I'm broadly in agreement with the rest of it, if it were to apply here too.

Obviously, these questions are now increasingly pertinent and are actively being reflected upon currently by many countries across Europe, Asia and the Americas given the October 7th atrocities and the rise of anti-semitism (racism)and vocal extremist support for neo-Nazi beliefs. Ironic when the Remembrance weekend was to remember those who gave their lives in actively fighting such evil.

What did the Police do in 1930s Germany when such marches occurred? If they and the population had been more resistant would WW2 been averted? What did the Police do in 1936 when the Black shirts and black flag wavers marched into Cable Street with Mosley and his supporters?
