The police are not trained in every and all fields, for a start. You do have specialised units to carry out all sorts of operations and investigations. If a Muslim/Sikh background officer or has more chance of getting people to talk, then so be it.lowing wrote:
the police are already well trained, is the need to "understand" the circumstances outside of the fact that the person was murdered in the name of a religion really all that important? Is that knowledge supposed to bring some special considersation to the investigation, orthe punishent? If not then why bother? The answer however, I believe is to be yes.
As for your crap about punishment, need I remind you that officers are supposed to arrest, not convict?
