WTAF does that even MEAN?! South Yorkshire Police DRAGGED for asking people to report non-crime 'hate incidents'

So hate in general is ‘illegal’ in England now? Really?

And they wonder why they lost that little skirmish with us 200+ years ago …

Report people to the police who make hateful comments.

Man, Ron Perlman is in deep trouble if he ever visits England, just sayin’.

In addition to reporting hate crime, please report non-crime hate incidents, which can include things like offensive or insulting comments, online, in person or in writing. Hate will not be tolerated in South Yorkshire. Report it and put a stop to it #HateHurtsSY pic.twitter.com/p2xf6OLoQZ

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me, learnt when we were about 4 years old???

Bingo.

Hi Neil, while non-crime hate incidents may not be criminal offences, they can feel that way to those affected & can sometimes escalate to crimes taking place. We work with partners to try & prevent this. More info on our website: https://t.co/yJGyHXT7LM

You know that face you make when you’re not sure if the milk is still good or not in the fridge so you take a whiff and you’re still not sure?

Yup, just made that face.

Are you really sure you want to know about the non-crime hate incidents that I’ve suffered in the UK?

I’m asking because they all happened while I was peacefully praying outside an abortion clinic.
There have been the spitters, the yellers, the rude gesture people.#HateHurtsSY https://t.co/91RceopluF

Why do British police forces feel this need to embarrass themselves, like this? Have you no self respect left?

Stop! Or they’ll say stop again!

Wow..just wow. What sort of fresh dystopian hell is this?

So, it's not even about motivation. It's how the "victim" PERCEIVES an "incident."

Get ready for Room 101, errbody!
