'Until a statutory enquiry into police misogyny is ordered and completed, and police leaders across the UK gain control over the rogue officers who abuse women on Twitter, none of us are truly safe.' ✍️ Alice Vinten writes for MetroOpinion
that there was a problem with ‘police Twitter’ – the large network of police accounts, mostly anonymous, who tweet on current policing stories.to the comments of anyone who dares criticise policing. Something has to be done about it.
During my research, I identified one of these accounts as a serving Metropolitan Police constable. I made an official complaint about his Twitter conduct, and received an apology from the Met, in which they acknowledged that his social media use had ‘fallen below’ the ‘standard of professionalism required’.
Both have received abuse from an anonymous police account, who in now-deleted tweets called them ‘grifters’, a derogatory term suggesting they are only talking about sexism to line their pockets or gain notoriety, a common tactic amongst misogynists, implying women are attention seekers and gold diggers.
What happens when women see police accounts telling women to ‘seek medical help for your victim mentality,’ or ‘move on, darling?’.
