Does this mean that police can pick and choose -- eg, not prevent violence outside an abortion clinic because the policeman is a Right-To-Lifer? Shouldn't the police maintain the law at all times, even to protect people they personally hate?

Being an event organiser myself, it really pains me when the police enforce their own insecurities and prejudices onto it.

Religious views should not be drawn into these duties at all. My view is this officer is demonstrating he is unable to be impartial and thus not fit to be a holder of a public office let alone a police officer.

Could they set aside their concerns of religious defilement?
