Met Police Warn Anyone Supporting Palestine Action Protesters Could Be Arrested
Original: London's brave # MetropolitanPolice # MetPol are again going that extra distance to heroically protect His Majesty''s su
London's Metropolitan Police are being criticised over reports that they threaten to arrest anyone supporting protesters at a Palestine Action demonstration, including people performing small acts of help such as bringing water. A widely shared sarcastic post mocking the force for "heroically" protecting subjects is drawing attention to the warning and reigniting debate over the policing of pro-Palestinian protests in the UK.
Why now: The warning criminalises even minor support for protesters, angering critics of UK counter-terrorism policing.
