"Moment army veteran is arrested ‘for causing anxiety’ after retweeting meme of swastika made out of Pride flags as force is condemned by its own crime commissioner for the ‘proportionality and necessity’ of its response.

This is the moment an army veteran (51) was arrested by police for ‘causing anxiety’ after retweeting a picture of a swastika made out of Pride flags on social media....

In the video, shot on a mobile phone, Mr Brady can be heard asking the three police officers: ‘Why am I in cuffs?’

One officer responds: ‘It didn’t have to come to this at all.’

Mr Brady replied: ‘Tell us why you escalated it to this level because I don’t understand.’

The officer adds: ‘Someone has been caused anxiety based on your social media post. That is why you have been arrested.’

Not The Bee adds, “This is some insane-level 1984 stuff right here. Apparently this meme arranging 4 transgender flags into a swastika is what he posted. He was ARRESTED for posting this!”..."
