Default Worshippers angry after police enter mosque with shoes on

This story was in a Google news feed and I thought it was interesting. Should the police have to abide by religious custom while carrying out their duty and were they being insensitive, or should the police always be exempt from rules and customs while in uniform and working?

Personally I don't think the police can be expected to stop and take their shoes off while working with the public as that would make them vulnerable but I'm sure others have an opinion on this.

Thoughts?
