Referring to Pearson receiving a visit from Essex Police investigating a tweetsaid Mr Archer: ‘It’s blown out of proportion, isn’t it?

“People can be so easily offended these days. From the rough times of my school days, someone called you something they shouldn’t, you most likely laughed.

“But people can get offended very easily, maybe rightly or wrongly, so they just call the police and say, ‘I’m offended by this remark that somebody made,’ and the police look at it, look at it and go to the trouble of sending two policemen to someone’s house on a Sunday morning.

Mr Archer shared his view on why the police appear to be prioritizing responding to offensive social media posts over criminal acts, which he believes stemmed from the Southport riots.

“The public is disappointed”

Philip Barden had a harrowing experience involving a violent robbery.

Recalling his memory, he said: “I was knocked off my bike by thieves on two mopeds. I was threatened with a taser and my watch was stolen.” Despite calling 999 immediately after the incident, Mr Barden said the police were of no help.

“When I called 999 I was told no action would be taken as the thief had left.” Mr Barden said if police had acted quickly the thieves could have been caught. Unfortunately, only a few days later he was informed that the case was closed.

Expressing his frustration with the police, he said: “The fact that people are being arrested for tweets and you never see a police officer shows the growing gap between public sector service providers and the public who are disillusioned with the police, health, education and the majority. important politics.”

Mr. Barden lost faith in the ability of the police to tackle real crime and calls for the abolition of the current police services.
