Suella Braverman said some forces had completely abandoned impartiality.
She warned them to stop dancing with eco-warriors and obsessing over Twitter.
Ms Braverman told the launch of The Public Safety Foundation in Westminster: “Maintaining public confidence requires the police to be seen as politically impartial and unequivocally on the side of the law-abiding majority.
