  1. When SYP officers attack members of the public for no apparent reason, when they attend incidents and through their own violent and unnecessary behaviour, turn those incidents into major incidents, and when they hide behind corrupt legal services who blatantly whitewash their accounts of what happened, then they can expect even the law abiding people who they claim to serve to be unfriendly, at best. If those law abiding citizens were allowed to act on their instincts, SYP would have a much bigger problem than the one they are complaining of here. I have been a law abiding citizen all of my life, but I have zero respect for this police force. I would call them a joke, but they are much more dangerous than that, because they hold an institutional belief that they are entitled to use force on a whim and without restraint against anybody, for any reason, or even for no reason. They are selective about what they investigate, and that selection process is based only on the social status and position in power of the complainer, and that of those being complained about. That situation is not sustainable, as they are perpetuating further layers of criminality, and as we all know, criminals have no respect for the law, and have no inhibitions around assaulting any police officer. I would say to them, you made your bed, so you lie in it!
