Oh yes, the bastion of truth that is the Daily Mail. Sorry, my eyes just rolled out if my head.

The story is widely reported: https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/irishman-arrested-for-causing-anxiety-with-swastika-pride-flag-post/41887199.html https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/irishman-arrested-for-... https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/irishman-arrested-uk-causing-anxiety-27639423 https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/irishman-arrested... https://www.spiked-online.com/2022/08/03/memes-police-matter/ https://www.spiked-online.com/2022/08/03/memes-police-matter... https://www.hrla.org.au/uk_man_arrested_for_social_media_meme https://www.hrla.org.au/uk_man_arrested_for_social_media_mem... Is this normally how you evade things which make you uncomfortable? Attacking the source?

Just Google it. It's been reported on various news sites. eg: https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/irishman-arrested-for-causing-anxiety-with-swastika-pride-flag-post/41887199.html https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/irishman-arrested-for-... Maybe it's not on The Guardian or the BBC but it obviously doesn't fit their bias so you may have to accept other sources.

    Haha, any comments on that? The police didn't even apologize or admit a mistake, they believed they were doing the right thing and just made a waffle statement about "reflects need in our local communities."

      Police make mistakes, in some countries they arrest someone trying to incite an arrest and that's bad. In some countries they shoot someone for driving 5mph over the limit, that's worse. The police in the UK do far worse than wrongful arrests so while bad, it's not really on my "top ten problems" list.

        They didn't admit it was a mistake. It was what they intended and will continue to do, based on the statements they made.
