Phew! It turns out that police forces are well led and managed — you just need to ask the right people!
In this era of mass stabbing attacks, @aspolice seem to think it's perfectly fine for officers to laugh and giggle about not knowing how to declare a major incident. Incredibly, this isn't AI or parody, it's their own public-facing comms - saved only by the PC at the very end.👇

One lesson from this photo going viral is that good uniform design matters. This shot is rad as hell. If the same guy were doing the same thing while wearing bulky tacticool gear and a facemask no one would give a shit.
Policing is in the grip of doctrinal drift, ideological capture and groupthink. Easily fixed if human @policechiefs were prepared to admit their errors. But it means accepting and acting on the basic truths from @SpeechUnion, @WeAreFairCop and @PublicSafetyFdn.
@drsanjoykumar He should have been charged and remanded in to custody of magistrates court , he should never have been released under investigation or on bail Having served for 33 years I find the whole situation to be embarrassing and complete neglect , laziness , incompetence ,
“You’ve been asking questions that have been causing some people harm and distress,” a police officer tells women’s rights activist Kellie-Jay Keen - as she is removed from an International Women’s Day event in Nottingham today. What questions had she been asking? Whether women’s spaces - including domestic violence shelters and other services for vulnerable women - are actually women-only. If this is the first time you’ve encountered Kellie-Jay Keen, you may find watching this video uncomfortable. You might ask yourself whether it’s really necessary to shout things like: “No woman has a penis.” “Woman is an adult human female.” Surely there must be a more polite way of going about it. But Keen - like many women - has been raising these concerns for nearly a decade. And two female police officers just told her they couldn't define the word woman, because doing so might upset men who identify as women - on International Women’s Day. This harmful ideology has spread through education, healthcare, politics and the media permeating almost every aspect of public life - seeking to erase women and strip away their rights, while presenting itself as inclusion. It's now too late for polite euphemisms. Women - and men - need to speak plainly and clearly. A woman is an adult human female. Women cannot, under any circumstances, have penises. Anyone claiming otherwise is repeating a falsehood. And when even police officers are afraid to state an obvious truth, that isn’t progressive - it is authoritarianism.
