Following the brutal and senseless murder of a man out walking his dog in West London by an Afghan illegal migrant, London police are urging the public not to share footage of the incident.
As we highlighted, this latest horrific attack was carried out seemingly completely randomly.
While many reacted to the incident with anger, others expressed a feeling of abandonment and total fear to step out their front doors.
Because video of the barbaric attack was captured and shared online, it has only heightened these concerns.
Now London’s Metropolitan Police are suggesting that everyone sharing the video is encouraging the spread of “misinformation.”
In a statement, Chief Superintendent Jill Horsfall said “I am aware of footage circulating online that relates to yesterday’s incident in Uxbridge. I would urge people to stop circulating this on social media.”
The reason they don’t want people to see it?
“In order to avoid speculation and further misinformation, we can confirm that the suspect lived in a private residential address.”
So not in a migrant hotel. Right, but why does that mean people shouldn’t see what this crazed savage who arrived in the country illegally did?
The statement continues, “Our priority is securing justice for the man who sadly died and the others who were injured during this incident. Sharing this footage could impede future court proceedings and cause further distress to those directly impacted by these events, as well as their loved ones.”
“Please be considerate with what you are sharing online, and keep up to date with our news website for any accurate updates on this incident,” the statement concludes.
