Give over FMR. One of the functions of a police officer is to keep order among the population, by force if necessary. So not believing that force can work isn't within a police officer's remit (if that's the word).
In any case it's perfectly obvious that force often works on all levels, however much the very idea of beastly coarse horrible force may raise bien-pensant hackles. And it's just as well, considering what the population is capable of without even thinking about it when a bit excited.
You can argue that force was used inappropriately or unnecessarily in a given case and people often do, often quite rightly. But to claim it's always wrong or never works is just idiotic.
