It has become a norm when a large event is held to have multiple agencies with a large law enforcement present. For logistical and safety purposes these precautions are needed and understandable. Yes, hatzolah should be on guard as well as the police for safety and security and other agencies to provide the logistics. However some of it may seem a bit over the top. While many pat themselves on the back for a job well done, credit should also go to the well behaved crowd of Bnei Torah who act with derech Eretz despite all the orders given by others. Its also a time to question do we need aiyno yehudim escorting the aron yelling in vulgar language s the aron is being carried? Is it proper kavod hames?
Its not kavod for the Tzibbur either.
It bothered me too. There were policemen with grins on their faces as they inched along Forest Ave with the aron. You escort at a funeral, you should at least have a serious expression on your face
