No event highlights the way anarchy has infected society more than the IRA funeral

In response to the letter headed ‘It is not PSNI role to prosecute cases’, (April 1, see link below), may I say that it is the duty of the PSNI to enforce the law fairly and without favour.

It is not their duty to accommodate persistent lawbreakers who have engaged in long term terrorism, in their defiance of the law, in order to avoid annoying them and thus prompting them to return to that which they so naturally and instinctively engage in!

This the PSNI did in the case of the Storey funeral while at the same time carrying out a policy of enforcing the Covid regulation laws on many other citizens less likely to react as would Sinn Fein/IRA.

No event highlights the anarchy that has subverted our society better than this incident!

Letter: It is the job of prosecutors to prosecute, not the PSNI
