Police protest training in chaos, report finds

Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary wrote it, so it's a serious critique. Ive chosen the Times rather than the Guardian, because the Guardian is usually critical of the police. Note that at the end of the article the Times continues the Tory attack on ACPO. Guardian defends the right to demonstrate. Times and Telegraph attack ACPO. Those are the not so hidden agendas, that should be borne in mind. Both, may of course, be correct.

For once it does mor equoting from the report than commenting. Calls for a return to the doctrine of minimum force
