Does anyone genuinely believe a Catholic Police Officer will serve them better than. Protestant one?<br /><br />Let's focus in quality. I want the Police Officer who comes to my house to sort out my issues or at least point me in the right direction. I have little interest in their demographics. <br /><br />Perhaps if Police recruiting and promoting was done on an anonymous candidate number, we'd lose this obsession with religion and finally be able to say "the best person got the job."<br /><br />I once witnessed a woman talk to a Constable like he was dirt and she quickly threw the line "you're a public servant" at him. The young man was quick enough to say that she was quite right but that he wasn't subservient to the public. Something I think every generation in our nation has forgotten or chose to forget. <br /><br />Just my tuppenceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965333981619997978.post-28524085808840968822011-11-09T10:45:27.521+00:002011-11-09T10:45:27.521+00:00At least the PSNI did away with those people who u...At least the PSNI did away with those people who use to refer to its prdecessor as 'OUR police force' i.e. not YOUR police force.

As to the m/c - election after election shows a pretty good match between Catholics and nationalist/republican vote.<br />No, I'm not suggesting they be paid the minimum wage - but I do think they're handsomely paid, otherwise there wouldn't be the numbers applying that there is, and you wouldn't have unionists standing up in Stormont and giving out stink that 50/50 was applied.Jude Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02255073034338282041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965333981619997978.post-7315809956065432382011-11-09T08:25:27.233+00:002011-11-09T08:25:27.233+00:00Jude

Or are you just assuming that all Catholics (even middle class ones) are Nationalists or Republicans?<br />On your fourth point, are you suggesting police officers should be paid the minimum wage to stop them getting above themselves?giordanobrunonoreply@blogger.com
