Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9I am afraid that the PSNI will remain little more than a rebadged RUC until the patton report is implemented.However i applaud nationalists who have bitten the bullet and have decided to join up.It may take 10 years for the north to have a proper police force.Until then sinn fein`s criticism of the PSNI will have a certain rationale about it.
Is to put Gerry Kelly in charge. He did a wonderful job the other night. Wont' be long now.
or wasn't it?
There is a difference between Gerry Kelly's community policing/unarmed SF community marshalling compared with baton weilding armour plated PSNI thugs heavy handed policing.
Given the choice, 9 out of 10 housewives prefer unarmed Sein Fein crowd marshalling over PSNI armed baton weilding militarised thugs.
Full reform is needed

Until Sin Fein join the policing boards and engage in dialogue on the policing issue then their comments on policing are invalid. If your going to implement patton what about the rest of the GFA like decommisioning?
As an SDLP sympathiser,I applaud their decision to support policing.Im not condoning sinn fein`s position im just saying that full implementation of the patton report will perhaps encourage them to change their minds,until then their criticism is rational.
The patton report said that local bodies would be set up in local areas where the police and the local politicans could resolve local issues. Sin feinn has refused to join these bodies, therefore, they are obstructing the implementation of Patton! How can you be in favour of something and obstruct it at the same time?

are these the same people that encourage residents to come out of their houses to be offended?
