More powers to the police

"If the police need more help to do their work I will not hesitate in granting it to them.

"We will always back the police when they do their important work and we will back them as they do their job to bring these mindless thugs to justice," Mrs May said.

This is such a disturbing statement. So the government will "always back the police" and all the police need to do is ask for powers and they will be granted without hesitation. The use of the word 'need' is meaningless since the police always claim they 'need' such-and-such powers and not that they merely want them.
