Is he good at his job? No, not if he can't conduct himself correctly.
Should he have done what he did? No.
Did he apologize? Yes, did he admit responsibility for the things he said? No.
Is this issue important? Yes, it damaged the image of the conservative party further and soured relations between the government and the police federation.
How the public view those in positions of power, responsibility and trust is important.
