It is nothing short of disgraceful that any person serving in the line of duty is assaulted.
The level of violence perpetrated against some of our officers is shocking and completely abhorrent. Men and women going about their tasks to keep us and our streets safe coming under attack from a yob mentality.
It's the same with demonstrations, officers being thrown from their horses who are also attacked or spooked out by fireworks and missiles, police cars being set alight all in the name of protest.
With cuts in the police force and increasing pressure to providing a top notch service, we do not need their job making any harder than it already is and incidents like this makes one despair.
They literally are putting their lives on the line something these yobs would be too cowardly to do, so I wouldn't have them in my army..
