Chris Donnelly: Governments must intervene to avert crisis over Drumcree decision (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE first PSNI officer to forcibly remove a resident or protester from the Garvaghy Road will spell the end for any prospect of establishing the elusive relationship with the nationalist community required to meet the aspiration of creating a non-partisan and representative policing service. The moment will also trigger an unprecedented crisis that could lead to the collapse of the political institutions. The PSNI chief constable must know that. So must the British secretary of state.
