British VET Arrested For Reposted Meme

In England the Hampshire police arrested an Army veteran for sharing a post of a meme on Facebook. Apparently someone called the police complaining that a meme on Facebook caused them anxiety.

The original post was on twitter and the man simply clicked on 'share' which reposted it onto Facebook. Below is a video talking about some of the details for this story.

Interestingly, the man that posted the original tweet on twitter was there as the army veteran was being arrested.

The whole time he stayed with the man being arrested and assured him that he would help with the legal matters financially. He also continued to shame the police for what they were doing saying that this man had done nothing wrong and they were a disgrace for being politicized.

The arrested veteran had no prior arrests and had no criminal record of any kind.

He had put his life on the line while serving his country in the British army, and now he was being arrested for sharing someone else's post all because someone that saw the meme felt anxiety about it and decided to complain to the police about it.

Later on the police commissioner publicly apologized for it and said they would work on this issue. But this was not the only time this man was arrested over this issue!

The police came back to 'talk' to him, but there wasn't just one or two of them. They showed up with several of them so it was doubtful that they were planning on just talking. The man didn't want to open his door so they arrested him for resisting or something silly like that. And of course other than sharing the meme he had done nothing else wrong. Not that the meme was illegal to begin with though.

They originally wanted him to pay 60 pounds and go to some sort of a re-education class to correct his behavior!

The other man that had originally posted the meme got a bit of social justice though.

During the original arrest he had exposed the police for what they were doing to this army veteran and why they were doing it. He posted in on social medias and was getting all sorts of comments from people condemning the police for their actions.

It was quite satisfying to hear him read off the comments and insults telling the police they were a disgrace ect. He read them out loud to the police while the arrest was still in progress lol.
