According to him, no police officer or escort should open doors for anyone or even carry items like handbags for people strongly positing that some citizens use the Police to harass and intimidate their fellow citizens.

I don’t know if it is just me ooo. But I don’t think police officers should be opening doors for anyone.. some even carry handbags. Little wonder some citizens use the police to harass their fellow citizens. We cannot be part of a system that abuses the same police we criticize.
