Do the police lack empathy?

from The Slippery Slope Hosted by J Fallon, A Living Records Production.

From The Guardian "Police arrived soon after the families had parked up, preventing them from burying the dead until all the cars left. NSW Police said there were a “large number of attendees” and that they were “in breach of the current public health orders.“ According to mourners who spoke to Guardian Australia under the condition of anonymity, up to 10 police vehicles turned up, knocking on car windows and instructing them to leave. Tensions escalated, with attendees saying they were frustrated at their inability to even watch their loved ones being buried, let alone fulfil the traditions they hold dear. Four men were arrested as the families pleaded with police to allow them to watch the burials". Who is making these decisions in New South Wales where we are seeing beaches opened up to huge crowds of sunbaking "Beautiful People" and police walk by and pay no attention to them at all? While in the western suburbs of Sydney we see a funeral interrupted by police because more than ten mourners attended, even though they stayed inside their vehicles so they could still socially distance. Yet police rock up and issues fines! This is my opinion.
