Many police do their jobs very well. More then those who do not. Many in public...

As a Buddhist, and being mindful, we can't suppress others, their beliefs, and growth. We can be compassioannt, offer wisdom, and reflect the qualities.
Not all who call themselves Buddhists reflect it, and not all can be Bodhisattva.
