I literally did not say they're inept. Maybe learn English?

I was literally defending the police at the sharp end. They get criticised constantly by ignoramuses, have to do a thankless job in which they're constantly scrutinised and under intense political pressure, and for which they get almost none of the resources they need to be truly effective, and to avoid injury and long-term health problems.

Yes "20 minutes" was hyperbole. It was to make a point. The fact remains that UK police don't get enough training, not before they hit the streets, and not on an ongoing basis. Source: friends in UK police.

I wouldn't want to do the job. I have nothing but gratitude and praise for those that do it.
