Donna Jones issued a statement of concern at Hampshire Constabulary’s actions.
A police and crime commissioner (PCC) has criticised her own force for sending police officers on two occasions to question and then arrest a man for an alleged offensive social media post.
Actor and political activist Laurence Fox has posted a number of videos showing officers from Hampshire Constabulary being confronted as they attempt to make the arrest while attending an address in Aldershot.
Donna Jones, the PCC for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, has issued a statement of her concern at the force’s decision to deploy officers for the complaint while not sending to some burglary crime scenes.
She said the allegation of an offensive social media posting related to an image of Progress Pride flags in the shape of a Swastika.
