When I started acting up as a Sgt, my then Guv’nor said rather poignantly to me; “Deal in facts, not opinions.” 🫡 “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.” – Mark Twain #ThinBlueLine 💯🚨 news.sky.com/story/sky-news…
@Brick_Cop The full footage was available on the day so I'm not sure how this changes anything. He's trying to demonstrate that that the marches are not peaceful and the policing is one-sided - some people are allowed to take a walk and others aren't... x.com/antisemitism/s…

@Brick_Cop That's interesting. Discussion over dinner tonight with friends we agreed the police often have an impossible job but why did the officer not offer to escort the gentleman to safety? HE DID !!!
@Brick_Cop Tough job, provocation and unfortunately walked right into it. Feel sorry as he will end up a scapegoat.
@Brick_Cop To place different context and slight misquote from Hamlet, 'the man doth protest too much methinks'
@Brick_Cop 13 minutes how the police man kept his cool after telling him time after time he would take him down the road and escort him to make sure he was safe is beyond me. I couldn't have done that
@Brick_Cop My heart goes out to the Sgt and I’m glad the truth is coming out .
@Brick_Cop I cannot believe how many people fell for his lies. He was there to deliberately provoke a situation. The policeman could see that and stopped him in his tracks. Well done to him. x.com/zubairb02/stat…

@Brick_Cop Amazing how context can really alter both perspective and narrative in a flash. Sadly Sky News and other media are some of the antagonisers on this occasion, and the media was choosing to once again run stories and release footage without context as it made for a "good story"
@Brick_Cop Two sides to everything including facts. Context means 2 people will see the same thing differently as seems to have happened here 🧐
