hooligans in uniform!! (105)
rebel2: Personally I would not use any funeral to make a statement.
I would be at that funeral to honour the person or persons that had passed on, and to show support to the grieving relatives.
I cannot think of any UK police officer who I have met who would have used a funeral of a colleague to make a statement.
There is a time and place for everything and in my opinion a funeral is not the time and place for anything except mourning.
However to call them "hooligans" is in my opinion is over board. They did what they believed was right out of frustration for the loss of there colleagues.
As far is discipline is concerned, why? They were not compelled to go to the funeral. It was not an order, so they have not disobeyed an order, so why discipline them?
My understanding and most recent google search indicates that there was not, nor would there be, discipline for those officers, just commentary that their conduct was tactless. There might be more or differing news regarding this. With freedom of speech laws in the United States, and the current climate of unrest, it would be non-productive to attempt to categorize just how, when, and where one could exercise his or her freedom of expression, (less, of course, the adage of not crying "Fire" in a crowded theatre).I would be at that funeral to honour the person or persons that had passed on, and to show support to the grieving relatives.
