    Met police chief forgets his fucking place and how society and justice function in this country.

    The politicians set the laws, the police enforce the laws, the courts judge the laws.

    The police have no business in politicking. That is a right they gave up in becoming a police chief.

    Or should they just start questioning the legitimacy of every law? Where’s their questioning on proscription? Where’s their questioning of the Online Safety Act?

    Arresting an 80 year old woman for holding a sign that says you support a group that chucked paint on a plane? Let me at that heinous criminal.

    Arresting someone with a record of hate speech for inciting people to use violence against a minority group? The law needs to change.

    The only thing worth checking is if the transphobe was treated harshly enough.
