Are people today too susceptible to group pressure?

On the back of police officers kneeling for BLM we now have this gem:

I would've thought that remaining neutral in any given situation was one of the basic lessons of policing but it seems to be a struggle for many of them from what we've seen over the last year.

An unnamed officer raised her fist in the air and chanted outside Israeli embassy

What sort of message does this send to the Jewish community when you have yobs driving down their streets chanting about attacking their women?

Is it group pressure or are people simply unable to stand by principles and remain professional?

A few decades ago though you didn't get police joining in on the protests they're supposed to be policing, whatever their beliefs they were professional enough to remain neutral and just do their jobs. Maybe it's the widespread ownership of cameras (phones) and cancel culture which has them fearing repercussions if they aren't seen to virtue signal, maybe it's the recruitment or the training.

Anti racism is a bad political ideology is it? OKAY!

BLM is only cloaked in anti-racism, it's ultimately all about division.
