Good Cop, Bad Cop

This video clip of a policeman has become an Internet phenomenon in a matter of a few days. It is unusual apparently in two ways. Firstly because it shows a policeman being respectful and polite to protesting members of the public. Secondly, because people have been so blown away by how well-mannered and caring he was that, since it was recorded on the 15th April, it has been viewed over 350,000 times, commented on 1,700 times and added as a favourite clip to watch by 1,146 people!

Either this chap is extraordinarily brilliant in the way he deals with people or he is standing out from the usual behaviour of the rest of his colleagues, which wouldn't be so positive from a police-force point of view.

Either way, isn't it nice when people resurrect old-fashioned principles such as concern for others and good manners? Well done, that man.
