Sir Mark Rowley said he will support a review into the legal definition of extremism and how it should be policed.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said his officers are limited by legal definitions of extremism
But he said his officers are limited by legal definitions of extremism and arresting people without cause could risk “inflaming” the situation with the protesters. Sir Mark said there has been a 14-fold increase in antisemitic incidents since the crisis started three weeks ago, and a three-fold increase in crimes against the Muslim community.
Seven of those were alleged public order offences, a number of which were being treated as hate crimes, while two were for suspected assaults on officers. “We will robustly enforce up to the line of the law. We’re going to be absolutely ruthless and we have been and you’ll see many more arrests over the next week or so.”
