Dearie me.

[Zacs-Master]

What are you surprised about?

[Samuraisan]

I don't see why anyone should wash anyone's feet. Especially police officers.

[Zacs-Master]

Why not? If both parties see it as an act of faith or a re-enactment of Jesus' (alleged) actions, where's the problem?

[Samuraisan]

There is no problem Zac, I just think it's humiliating to wash someone's feet.

[douglas9401]

The problem is that it helped nowt 2000 years ago and it'll help nowt now.

Limp-wristed PR nonsense.

[Spicerack]

Act of faith or politics?

[Zacs-Master]

I don't think the people doing the washing see it as humiliating.

I would bet that this happens all the time and the DM, in it's usual fashion, is using it as a counterpoint to the Floyd story. Always good to ask 'why' the DM has chosen to write an article at a particular time. They have an agenda, you know.

Nurses and care workers and mothers wash people's feet.

as ZM says, it's in the Bible, and humility was the lesson.

[naomi24]

//Nurses and care workers and mothers wash people's feet. //

.... but not as a symbol of humility.

[Samuraisan]

@Atheist. I think that's a little bit different.

[Samuraisan]

Why do the police have to humiliate themselves ?

[Mamyalynne]

Police Officers are allowed their faith.

[bednobs]

Humility and humiliation are NOT the same things!

[naomi24]

Samuraisan, //Why do the police have to humiliate themselves ? //

Why indeed? It's pathetic.
