99% of the police, yeh.
There are a few dodgy ones. And the system generally works to get rid of them. There are miscarriages of justice, and excessive use of force.

But, generally speaking, UK Police police by diffusing situations instead of eliminating them.
I've never had a bad encounter with the police. They've always been helpful, had some banter, or been polite but firm.
But I've never been on the wrong side of them. And I've never encountered them in a situation where the population is in the right but the laws are against the population (like a protest that gets "managed"). And it probably helps that I'm native etc.

I have no doubts that it's different for other UK residents. So, I still judge news by the ACAB.
Withdrawing from X reinforces my beliefs that UK Police police in a good way.
If they move to Donny's site, then I'm cooked.

Nah, the right don't like the police as they are the ones who arrest them when they get hammered on half a pint and do 75 in a 20 in a beat up Micra with an after market spoiler.
