Actually, what bothers me is the inference that treating minorities as equals in some way implicitly empowers them over the 'majority'.
A few people will take the p in any circumstance and, if it fits, will plead discrimination in support. If the Police have a disportionate problem, and they're being regularly hauled in front of courts and tribunals suggests they do, then attitudes need adjusting from a senior level down to the 'canteen' and the firearms training area.
The issue with Evans as a conduct/discipline matter is symptomatic of a much wider Parliamentary problem also seen re Maria Miller - they cannot manage themselves or their staff in an open and fair way. The guidance issued by the Tory party immediately after his acquittal is telling in that regard.
