Met police sorry about murder scene selfie

The Met Police has apologised after two officers took a selfie at a murder scene and posted it on social media.
Uniformed officers from Newham, east London, took the photo outside the Stratford Centre on Thursday, where a man had been fatally stabbed two days before.
They shared it on the Forest Gate North Twitter page with the caption: "Crime scene at Stratford mall today."
A spokesman said the officers showed a "lack of judgement and sensitivity".
A crime scene is still in place and no arrests have yet been made.
Many Twitter users condemned the photo, which has since been taken down.
Have you caught the perpetrator(s) yet? Of course not, too busy posing for a selfie.12:11 AM - Mar 23, 2018Twitter Ads info and privacyReportEnd of Twitter post by @LawMikeSkip Twitter post by @MPSForestGteNthForest Gate North@MPSForestGteNthWe apologise for any offence caused by the ‘selfie’ picture that was posted from the scene of a serious crime this morning.

Professionally offended out in force again.

You think it’s okay to take selfies where someone has been stabbed to death when they’re meant to be investigating?🤔

They're not meant to be investigating. They're meant to stand outside the crime scene and prevent the tarpaulin from being blown away.

You can't even see the crime scene in the pic. Coppers share selfie of their face in new scandalous tweet! Let's go MENTAAAL!!!! WAHOOOOO!

How on earth would you know what they're meant to or not meant to be doing?

The two officers posed for a picture in front of an east London shopping centre while guarding a cordon where a 20-year-old had died after being chased and stabbed by a gang.

And yet you still think it’s okay to be taking selfies at a murder scene? How about having a punch up at a wedding, maybe having a phone call to your best mate about nailing that drunk chick the night before - whilst a funeral perhaps?

Well that was a spectacularly stupid thing to do. They wonder why people dont like plods as well?

Last time I checked, police officers were SUPPOSED to do their job

Just shows your level of professionalism if you see nothing obnoxious about it. I bet you're the type of person who plays with your phone when you've got a whole line of customers standing opposite you waiting to be served their fries.

goof bloke

This is the kind of moronic **** they force on us to get offended about and deflect away from real issues in our retarded society. Yet coppers can roll by and get told not to worry about a young 12 year girl forced to give head to a groomer, because she is ''only sucking his ****'' and drive on and do nothing, or ignore all kinds of sick, depraved rapes and abuse.

Thanks Lefties.

The issue is telling people how to think and behave, and thinking your being offended (the sheer power of it) automatically means you're right. By doing this you abandon any counterargument, reason, and empathy for others.
