I "love" how the cops send in swat squads to arrest them for questioning. Must be hard nose serious criminals - NOT! What is alleged to have happened is wrong, but to send in swat?? Overkill at its best.

I'd be giving the Cops a Yellow Card for that overkill but then, they might want to investigate any impropriety.

It looks that way to us because I imagine most of us have the experience of a couple of smiling cops in uniform watching the Nix crowds or whatever. 

Imagine people who experience this as part of preemptive ‘tough on crime’ policing or if there’s a mistake made in the charges or if some evidence against them comes from dodgy sources. 

I remember in the second Iraq conflict the Brits talked about the chance to get your helmet off and show the locals you were human. I imagine something similar applies here, in terms of relating to the police.
