We know many don’t like the police and want to abolish them.

However, I suggest these people watch Missing on the BBC.

The police worked tirelessly to find missing people with Alzheimer’s.

It was an upsetting watch, but the police, who rush into danger for us, never gave up trying to find these vulnerable people.

Yes, maybe there are issues that the police need to address, but I for one would never want to get rid of them.

If I was needing help, I would be glad of them.
