The police force has been politicised to an unheard of degree and control of the population is the main task.
A friend of mine, many years ago, joined the Hong Kong Police quite rightly believing that a quasi-Military background would stand him in good stead upon his return to Britain.
At that time I couldn't see it but now think he was very forward thinking.
No surprise then to see this little story from across the pond.
Yellow Stars, Pink Stars, Thin Blue Lines : it's all the same, in fact.

'I want to know more about mummy's little lamb here...'
Here?
Pixie dearest, why here?
Why not your place?
Best place for sex scandal, no?
A pixie in bed?
That is quite poetic.
Can I use that sometime?
