Re: Something fishy about this story
Yes, it does seem that Plod was just rescuing someone from his own naivety, and potentially saving taxpayers' money in the process.
His very public incitement to violence also probably doesn't help an already tense situation, as it just escalates retribution - exactly the same sort of thing that created ISIS in the first place.
Maybe Plod could have a word with our warmongering politicians too, and the oil barons that fund them, to stop them perpetuating the cycle of violence and wasting taxpayers' money on their hegemonic ambitions.
