This is what happens when when you have to live by the tip toe around people culture.
Some people aren't fit for public facing roles. If that policewomen in question really took offence to what was alleged to of happened, then they aren't capable of a public duties role. Especially given she seemed too cowardly to even be involved at certain parts by just being a bystander. It's typical of this creeping issue of self entitlement/feelings above all else society.
End of the day, not everyone is capable of these roles. It's not a drama, just reality.
On the other hand, there were plenty colleagues who were clearly in support of the action, whether that means there is more to this or... they were probably too worried to go against it maybe getting a bad name back in the office of being an "extremist" or some BS.
