A woman who accused a migrant of attacking her in the street was subjected to a lecture from police about her use of politically incorrect language in the aftermath of the incident.
Footage shot by the woman shows three Metropolitan Police officers questioning her on Kings Road in London.
She told the officers that a “filthy migrant” had confronted her and spat at her.
While the officers said they were willing to investigate the incident, they appeared more concerned with policing the woman’s language, telling her “we have a duty to challenge that language, because we are police officers and that is the law.”
“You’re saying the two things together, which is offensive isn’t it?” one of the male officers stated, referring to the woman’s words.
“We can’t not challenge that language because people in the public might find that offensive,” the officers further told the woman.
“So you find my language offensive?” the woman asked, to which the female officer responded “Yes I do actually.”
“I’m not interested in a PC lecture,” the woman told the officers, prompting one to respond, “we’re not here to give you a lecture.”
