United Kingdom
Example: Policing protests
Protests by environmental groups or left-wing activists (e.g., Extinction Rebellion) have often seen heavier police presence and pre-emptive arrests, while far-right or football hooligan gatherings have sometimes been policed more passively.
Critics argue this reveals a bias in how the police assess and respond to perceived threats based on group identity.
AI is biased.

Bobbies don’t carry deadly weopons. In other words they can’t even bring a knife to a knife fight.

On the 1975-76 series Ellery Queen Mysteries. (Great show).
Inspector Queen (David Morse) to Ellery Queen (Jim Hutton):
Why when I was that young I was a cop pounding the beat in Hell’s Kitchen. Now that was police work.

RE: a return to an era of “bobbies on the beat”
“England Swings” by Roger Miller (1965)
England swings like a pendulum do,
bobbies on bicycles two by two
Westminster Abbey, the Tower of Big Ben,
the rosy red cheeks of the little children.

Picture meme....
James Bond to Moneypenny: “Well, seeing you in that uniform it certainly would dissuade someone from deciding to leave England.”

Would that be a ‘beat’ as known of old?

Or
Just walking around?
Why was it called that anyway?
To: MinorityRepublican
Policing “busy” neighborhoods of Englanders only because they can get away with it. Invader neighborhoods are off limits
To: Jonty30
And only going after people who utter hurty words...
The UK is locking up 30 of those per day.
