A special breed of police chaplains do this but they are few.
Police tend to be as aggressive as the bad guys. There is a good reason for this. A chaplain (hopefully with a very noticeable white collar), may try to calm a difficult situation. In an age where religion is often spat upon by a new generation, even this may be less helpful.
Chaplains and social workers work for a pittance yet their work is so admirable....to those who understand. We need both police and these people to help live in a sane world IMHO.
