I don't know. It's a big old world. And I'm sure there must be some good 'uns on the force who genuinely believe in law and order, who wish to serve and protect, without manifestations of favoritism, without making absurd allowances for the lawlessness of the privileged group dujour.
And yet, we keep seeing crap like this: "UK Police Officer Had an Odd Exchange with a Jewish Bystander During Pro-Hamas Demonstration".
This exchange in London is bizarre. A man wearing a yarmulke is told by a Metropolitan police officer being “openly Jewish” could create problems. They make it clear that this is a pro-Palestinian march and that he’s not accusing the Jewish man of anything, but his presence could lead to mayhem. Isn’t that more on the pro-Hamas clowns who gathered to voice their hatred of Jews?

Also in the UK, bobbies visited a gent at home because 'people raised concerns' about comments he made regarding the stabbing of the bishop in Sydney.
This pattern of behaviour needs a name. I'd call it the Zoe Buhler Syndrome.
"'Ere now, wot's all this then? Lookin' Jewish in public? That's provocation mate, I tell you that's wot it is!"
Of course we have no shortage of officious busybodies with badges and guns in the US. The case of the guy paddle boarding in the middle of the bay, away from everybody, who was swarmed by cops and frog marched away for murdering granny with the COVIDs comes to mind. But at least I don't recall any advising threatened minorities to stop looking so provocatively... whatever, is not so far a thing here.
Of course, spineless university faculty and administrators are another thing. The library staff telling Jewish students to hide in the attic was a good one. Dude, optics!
