And what Winston want to do? He want to be a policeman.

" 'Go,' Bee say, very soft. And the boy there with his tall uneasiness. 'Go. You have nineteen years. I can't hold you here. Go!' Bee say, his voice low, stifling.

...'Go!' he say again, his voice rising and breaking as his vexation get the uper hand of him. And Winston stand up in front of him, wanting to move and don't know how to move. 'Go!' And before Winston could do anything, Bee turn to Taffy, 'And you? You don't want to go too? You don't want to be a police too to arrest your own people? You don't want to be one too?'"
--Chap 4 The Wine of Astonishment

Why is Bee so upset when his eldest son Winston wants to sit the police examination?

    He was also extremely angry because he realizes that his own sons would not help their own father fight for the church and hold on their roots and fight for a better future for Bonasse.
