Police Commissioner Slams Personal Officers for Arresting Man over “Offensive” Tweet
Hampshire Police and Crime Commissioner Donna Jones has waded in to sentence her personal officers over their arrest of a military veteran who shared a picture tweeted by Laurence Fox. The three officers, who whacked the nameless serviceman in handcuffs for “malicious communications” – which on this case means “inflicting anxiousness” by sharing an image of a swastika made out of satisfaction flags – have been confronted on Thursday by Fox and Reclaim Celebration chairman Harry Miller as they ready to make the arrest. Fox and Miller confirmed up with a digital camera crew as a part of their new Dangerous Legislation Undertaking to “problem and depoliticise” woke policing. Quite than acknowledging it’s a bit over-the-top to handcuff a person over a tweet, the officers merely arrested Miller as nicely…
Now Jones has launched a press release:
“When incidents on social media obtain not one however two visits from cops, however burglaries and non-domestic break-ins don’t all the time get a police response, one thing is fallacious… As Police Commissioner, I’m dedicated to making sure Hampshire Constabulary serves the general public as the vast majority of individuals would count on. It seems on this event this has not occurred… To be able to help this I will probably be writing to the Faculty of Policing to make them conscious of this incident and encourage better clarification on the steering with a purpose to be certain that police forces can reply extra appropriately sooner or later.”
Miller has now been launched pending an investigation. Arresting individuals for inflicting offence or anxiousness, all whereas Hampshire recorded 8,000 burglaries within the final yr, in all probability isn’t the perfect use of police time…
