This is not yet a police state and the majority of ordinary,respectable people will help the police when families/mothers and children are threatened.
Ireland may well throw up some problems, but I think the repurcussions of Brexit will result in a general election!

//Superintendent Mathew Shaer of West Midlands Police (WMP) said: “Those who participated in this disgraceful behaviour do not represent the majority. Most will eventually grow up to understand that.”//
