RUC in the firing line

Northern Ireland is an abnormal state, it should never really have come about, but seeing as it's here and 60% of the population is protestant, and seeing as it is (for better or worse) our territory, the RUC are tasked with defending the rule of law. The people of Northern Ireland aren't exempt from the laws of Britain, as much as IRA/Sinn Fein think they are.
As for the reports of brutality, where is your evidence? This sounds like propaganda to me. What would be the purpose of the police batoning women bystanders, or perhaps is there more to this than just "plain old brutality".
As for the RUC/PSNI being biased, of course it will be. It is a British police force and it will obviously be mostly formed of unionists who support Britain, you can't form a police force from people who oppose the very state that the force works for. I'm against the destruction of the RUC because if someone (catholic or protestant) wants to be a policeman, they will, whether it's called the PSNI or the RUC. Let's face it, IRA/Sinn Fein won't support this police force as long as it polices the rule of law, because what the IRA want is anarchy so they can fight out their way to a united Ireland. Law and order and security go against their plans because it solidifies the status quo.
I've heard all the stories about the RUC, and quite frankly, most of them are exagerated lies. Even if there's some truth to them, the IRA have done equally bad things, and the RUC are at least marginally better than being knee-capped without so much as a fair trial or blown to pieces in a bomb, even if you're an avowed republican.
