Yes. Community spirit shouldn't stop with a police uniform. Sometimes we need to be reminded that cops are on our side so long as we are law abiding citizens.

in this heightened time of terrorism I hope their top brass have told them to stay on duty, stay vigilant and do what they are getting paid for and not get involved with all the silliness.

Police made more than 300 arrests and 28 officers were injured at Notting Hill Carnival over the Bank Holiday weekend.
Scotland Yard said officers made 313 arrests for a range of offences including 112 for drugs and 58 for offensive weapons. Twenty-eight officers were injured across both days, while 17 arrests were made for assault on police, the Met said. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crim...-a3621681.html |

313 arrests for over 2 million attendees is minuscule.

So really, in theory, it's actually important to keep the mind and body active, in order to be fully focussed. It's all very well to say that they should just be able to stand there "on guard" and have full zen-like ninja awareness at all times... but, it's not very realistic... not hour after hour. I mean, go into the street and try to be aware of everything that's going on around your area. Easy enough... for 10 minutes, maybe half an hour. Now try to do it for the next 5 hours and tell me that your attention doesn't start to drift. |

I don't think there is anything wrong with the police on duty enjoying the occasion and showing a human side to the community. We don't live in a dictatorial police state. When a presence is necessary if they be fun and low key what is the harm?
