i wrote an articxle for our philosophy society magazine when i was at uni asking the abpove question.
eventually i decided it was, based loosely upon the following logic:
Eating sentient beings is wrong
Policemen qua policemen are merely automotons acting on behalf of the state, and have no brain of their own to use, and hence are not sentient
It is therefore acceptaqble to eat policement - but only if they have been killed whilst on duty.
For some reason they chose npot to publish it - tho they did do my proof of the non-existence of god
