‘British Patriot’ Completely Loses The Plot After Police Officer Refuses To Shake His Hand
A self-proclaimed British patriot went into complete meltdown after a police officer turned down the opportunity to shake his hand at a political protest the other day, and shared it online in hopes that others would join in on the outrage.
Instead, he ended up looking like a complete prat and everyone sided with the copper:

As the Community Note helpfully points out: Section 3.1 of the Standards of Professional Behaviour for Police Officers in England & Wales mandates treating people impartially. Shaking hands at a political protest could give rise to accusations of bias and so the officer shown is acting professionally & respectfully.
So basically, the police officer is doing his job by remaining impartial and not allowing himself to be exploited for an X video, but this guy can’t help but take it personally. You can’t bang on about free speech and two tier policing and then expect to have it both ways, can you?
Here’s the general reaction to the clip online:
Weapons-grade fannywobble over a handshake.
Tuff by name, Snowflake by nature.

Why are you crying about it? You’re a grown man 😂 He has no obligation to shake your hand and you’re there telling him you’re gonna post it online if he doesn’t. Mate you look like a proper fanny in this video.

You’re a bell end, pal. Leave the man alone to do his job instead of trying to encourage your gammon army to pile in on this fella.
