He cannot be blamed for every bone-headed decision or outburst from one of his cops on the ground.
But the case of the “openly Jewish” man threatened with arrest if he did not move away from a pro-Palestinian protest — and the subsequent embarrassing PR U-turn which followed it — is symptomatic of a wider malaise.
