Like the flying sqaud commander says " its the beginning of the end for British policing.
When you join the police you do so to provide a service to the public, if you cannot perform those duties you LEAVE!!
ALL DO GOODERS DON'T POST ON THIS ISSUE!!

Mariam!! I said no do gooders.
Where is your source?
Police officers are supposed to carry out their duty to protect the public, and that means Israeles, Asians, Chinese, etc.
STOP MAKING EXCUSES UP FOR THEM!!
So if a police officer secretly hates gays, what would you say if that police officer refused to protect gay people at a gay festival?
You silly person!!

I'm an American born, immigrated to Canada and now a naturalized Canadian citizen (dual, American/Canadian citizenship) who has been watching the news and this site regarding the illegal immigration problems in the USA as I am very interested in this issue and hope that it can be resolved in the best interests of the citizens of the USA. However, I am realizing more and more that the illegal immigrant problem is happening more and more in other countries of the world right now and it is not just a USA problem. As well, this situation that you posted now, not pertaining to illegal immigration, but to a LEGAL immigrant working as a police officer in Britain, is astounding to me! We have similar situations in Canada with immigrants coming and imposing their political and religious views on us. Sikhs insisting on wearing their turbans as members of the RCMP rather than the traditional RCMP hat, and insisting on being allowed to carry their ceremonial daggers, even students in schools want to be allowed to carry their ceremonial daggers! We have people insisting that they should not have to wear helmets when riding motorcycles, even though our laws require helmets, but they think they should be allowed to wear their turbans, instead. However, if they have a motorcycle accident and receive brain damage, they want FULL coverage from insurance, of course! We have Muslim women thinking that they should be allowed to have their faces covered for their drivers license photos! These things just blow me away! If they want to come to our country, why do they think they should not have to abide by our laws? Why do they think we should bend our ways in order to accommodate theirs? If we went to their countries, do you think we would be accommodated like this? I feel that civil liberties these days have gone TOO FAR. We are far too accommodating to people of other ethnic and religious cultures, to the point of detriment to ourselves and our society. They are taking "God" out of our schools and our pledge of allegiance because this is offensive to them. Why should we have to bend over backwards to accommodate these people who come here, knowing what our cultures and values are? Immigration has been happening since the beginning of time, but it used to be that immigrants had to (and usually expected to) assimilate into the culture that they were immigrating to. What has become of us that we allow other cultures to try to change us when THEY immigrate here? THEY wanted to come here - not the other way around!

My brother has been in the police force for 17 years and has told me about such cases. On that note i'm more informed about the topic than you are who has merely read a tabloid style headline on a website. Officers often ask on personal or moral grounds to be excused from a case and if its possible, usually the request is granted.
The fact that you don't want anyone who opposes your thoughts to reply shows you are living in a world of your own and don't want to hear it from any other angle.
"Stop making excuses us for them" also shows how you're branding all mulsims the same whenever one does something. I'm not making excuses, i said if people think he should be fired then fire him, why try to generalise and turn it into an issue against muslims and try correlate it with other muslim issues? Get a life!
You also put this question under the "immigration" heading. The guy wasn't even an immigrant, but since he's not white/british or live here since saxon times you class him as an immigrant. Shows a lot about your way of thinking. You seem to like assking.answering questions which stir up hate.
The fact that this occasiona has made the headlines and so many other have not says it all!
There have been many cases like this in the past, but surrounding different circumstances.
For example, there have been times when a female police officer has been excused from dealing with rapists becuase they had been previously raped. There have been times when Jewish people have been excused from dealing with certain race crimes due to relatives holocaust experiences.
The only difference this time is that the guy is muslim. Just think, why on earth has it made headline news when all the other occasions haven't?
This is the propoganda machine in effect. And now people on message boards or in their own social circles discuss the topic as being awful and it spreads and multiplies, adding more sitgma and negativity to muslims.
Why are people so outraged by it? They are going out of their way to show their "disguist". Why not just think ok maybe he has some relatives or other personal issue, so lets put another office in place. Or alternatively think yes it's wrong he should be fired and that be it (like in the many previous cases). Why all the hysteria?
And people wonder why muslims claim there are double standards.

Your assertion is dubious to say the least. What about Muslim women who nurses and doctors? You assert you are not a racist or a bigot. Would you be raising this if a Christian, Hindu, Buddhist or Jewish woman were involved? All these religions have sects that preclude women having contact with any man other than family or husbands. I have my doubts about motives here. Perhaps you would care to dispel them? You give no reference, only make an assertion about the woman's motive. If you knew anything about the internal politics of the Met you would realise that there are all sorts of reasons why serving officers would not feel happy about shaking the man's hand. He has not been a cop since he resigned on 1st October, 2008.

I consider myself a "do-gooder", but with my feet firmly on the ground. The police (PCs and WPCs) are employed to prevent breaches of the law, to detain those who have broken the law, to ensure that those arrested attend their trial, and then are either released from custody or taken to prison. There's no ethical consideration here - it's an entirely impartial and objective process, which should pay no regard to a police officer's personal view of any particular legislation that s/he has to enforce. I expect the police to arrest criminals regardless of whether they are black, white, brown, red or yellow; or whether they are Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist or Atheist. I also expect the police to protect the people in this country regardless of nationality, religion, race, colour etc. The police should be capable of protecting: a BNP march from anti-Nazi protestors one day, a synagogue from anti-Semitic vandalism the next day, and Moslem schoolchildren from Islamophobic boot-boy thugs the day after. Anyone who can not leave their moral objections at home should not seek employment with the police - it's ludicrous that any officer should expect special dispensations that allow him/her not to enforce the law at all times and in all situations. This can not be a part of a truly professional police force.

This crap has to stop and sometime soon. Although I don't agree with them, I'm doing a protest vote next time I do and vote for a right wing party, such as the BNP. They'll never get into power and until the government and lords understand how aggravated people are by these political correctness, British flag bashing, English bashing and white bashing are they will just keep pushing the boundaries further. If a white policeman choose not to protect a Muslim they would march and riot.

Its a disgrace. I did not like the fact that Israel went over the top however in my position its fine. If you swear an oath as the officer did he should be sacked and the senior officer who agreed it should go as well. We seem to have a police force that is so PC its forgotten its there to stop crime. To try and blame it on risk assessment as they have before in the tube killing is absurd and shows how devious the police have become.

Great stuff. Now Homophobic policemen can be "excused" from protecting gay people. Racist policemen can be "excused" from protecting those of other races. Policemen who don't like Dwarfes can be "excused" from protecting dwarfes etc.
So when I run up to a copper in the street and say "help help I've just been mugged" He can turn round and say "sorry love but I'm a muslim and I've been EXCUSED from helping Western women because they don't wear hijab and that conflicts with my religious beliefs"
This "copper" should be dismissed from the force.

No, just try to think about it. You are supposed to protect the Embassy of a country which is dropping bombs on members of your extended family who happen to choose to stay in their place of birth against people of your religion and country of origin. And let's face it, the Israeli Embassy probably wouldn't have been too pleased had he been forced to protect them.
The world hasn't gone mad, it's stark raving, criminally insane.
And the sooner people realise this, the sooner we might be able to get things back on an even keel. And that goes for Muslims and so-called Muslims, Christians and so-called Christians, Jews and so-called Jews, Hindus and so-called Hindus, Buddhists and so-called Buddhists and so on and so forth.

I thought they had diversity training to avoid being racial, or does this only apply to the Englishman?
Why is he not being charged with a racial offence, the answer, he is a Muslim and in Blairs Britain they can do no wrong.
How soon will this spread to other religions?
Soon we'll have to set up teams for specific duties, you couldn't make it up.

I think this is disgusting and both the copper and his boss should be called to account,most police officers do not have a choice of jobs to do and his job was Diplomatic protection Guarding an Embassy,which was his choice of police duties.
Can you imagine what this country would be like if all police officers were asked if they wanted to do a particular duty.
No this is wrong and religion should not come into this,perhaps he would be better helping kids and old people cross the road.
