An English police force has stopped publishing pictures of knives confiscated during weapons seizures to “help reduce the fear of knives”. Pictures shared on social media of a variety of weapons confiscated by police or handed over in amnesties have become a common sight, but Thames Valley Police will no longer be doing so over concern that “knife imagery” could be triggering the public.
Thames Valley Police said in a statement that after consultation with other forces and the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) it would “stop publicising images of seized knives to help reduce the fear of knives and knife carrying in our local communities”.
Confirmed during National Knife Crime Awareness Week, it is expected that other forces will follow suit.
In April, Surrey Police chief constable Gavin Stephens called on officers and the media “not to post pictures of huge weapons, zombie knives and the like, because it spreads fear and young people think they are in danger”, with a spokesman confirming: “We have taken a stance not to post images of knifes [sic] we seize.” >breitbart.com/crime/2019/09/22/uk-police-forces-stop-publishing-pictures-seized-knives-frighten-people/
Modern Britain is perfect example of how it's possible to be a cucked hellhole and a nightmare police state at the same time.

I don't even need a knife. Most of the vegetables I use I can get pre-diced and chopped in packets and the ones that need it can be run through a food processor until it is as I desire. NOBODY needs to carry a knife, you rightfully do deserve to go to prison if you are seen carrying one in public.
Just buy yourself a decent food processor. Job done. You can also butter things with a soup spoon

gulp, better hand my cutlery drawer over at the amnesty >hello hello hello, a regular lickle' weapons cache we have 'ere sarge...
>I don't even need a knife How the fuck are you gonna eat steak? With chopsticks?

It's probably so they're not mocked for petty stuff like this. It's probably dehumanizing to the officers because they know they're country has fallen and actual crime is rising but have to do this sort of stuff

about to butter toast with butter knife >can't do that because of knife crime mate butters toast with plastic knife instead >plastic knifes are banned because of the poos dumping it all in the ocean mate butters toast with soup spoon instead >can't do that because of the drugs mate butters toast with finger instead >you have to be vegan because of the weather mate

Lads this is nothing more than a simultaneous attempt to further disarm the British public and make criticism of the authorities illegal
Do fuck off back to the guardian

I truly hate the EU. It must be destroyed.
David Morales
EU will unravel as soon as brexit happens Why do you think the euro cucks have desperately trying to stop it

Can you assert that minorities have a fear of police and that "police imagery" could be triggering to the public?
Benjamin Bennett
Take the blades out of the food processor and attach them to pieces of wood.
Your move, lad.
Jayden Ward
Minorities already fear the police although mainly down to inevitably involved in crime
Bwahahahahahahahaha! The best part is you don't even realize how retarded you are.

It's because they are getting mocked due to the pictures of 'dangerous knives' confiscated have many butter knives and paper scissor tier blades. In banning pictures it's much easier to claim high yeilds of knife seizures keeping Bongs safe

sometimes i think: the uk cant realy get any more worse now can it?
then the uk comes and proves me wrong, time and time again.
No brit pol thread ? /pol is really quiet today. Did anyone used to go to Little Chef on Sunday ? my boomer dad squeezed a lemon and it directly reminded me of it. Do they even exist anymore ?
I was attacked by a dog when young too...a golden retriever. I wasn't harassing the dog or anything, messed me up for a while. Portable version of the deadly assault knife.
That pretty much mirrors my attitude. If some asshat can walk around with a dog, which is literally an attack-retard with a mouthful of daggers, then i will carry my knife to protect myself with it.

UK is a Police State at this point

I love how many of the sperglords here fell for that
You never see the fuckers on the street though. They've set up an elite twitter unit and that's about it.

Realistically the police could not do a thing if enough people got sick of their shit. I feel like the public as a whole is losing respect for the police more and more each day.
I love just how the poms have become such Nancy twats.
I bet the argies are planning to take the malvinas again...
This time their troops wont have to deal with much more than plastic cutlery arrayed against them
Brayden Nguyen
I as well assumed 'people are scared of the pics' is just a shit excuse to not admit how much of a laughing stock their confiscation show-offs have become
Christian Campbell
As I told PREVENT.
Guns reduce crime, 99% of gun use in america is to STOP a violent crime, and it makes a country safer due to the difficulty of invading it.
>in case they frighten people Its definitely not because they are getting ridiculed by their population every time they post a newly confiscated teaspoon
Christian Allen
the 'British' government is clearly out to cull the British.
surprised the police force arnt having the officers murdered in their sleep.
Ryder King
I'm a jew and I'm scared of muslims, can we ban them too?
