6 officers turned up. Our police, they police everything but actual crime sometimes (because that’s hard work!)
“An officer warned the family about the emails in December, telling them to remove the daughter from the school, which they did the following month, a week before the arrests, the Times reported.”
WTAF!
The force states there was no misconduct on the officers parts yet it also acknowledges it was an unlawful arrest?
“We find that the officers unlawfully arrested these people but we don’t care take your money and shut up”
I grew up respecting the police as people who were there to protect us. Today I’m afraid I have no respect left for any of them as they’ve changed into a gang of government thugs.
The UK police acting like bullies and clowns? Well who’d have thunk it.
What a cock up. But please, there must be something schools can do about the actual nastiness and slanderous comments made about teachers on these groups.
In my are you are lucky to have more than 5 police officers covering an area of 500square miles , often just 2-3 of them on shift. Meanwhile there are six just for this?
Every officer that was envolved in this moronic event should be let go…..and they always say we don’t have the resources….
