They obviously have too much spare time and resaources if they can waste it on 'non-crimes' like this, remember it the next time real crime is through the roof and they're complaining about funding. Somewhere along the lines the police have become have been turned into a similar thing as social media companies where they feel it's their job to condition society and target people with non politically correct views.
Look at the quote in my signature to understand the implications of this sort of policing, it's definitely Orwellian and is designed to suppress speech through fear. There is absolutely no such thing as free speech if you're only allowed to say politically correct things that don't offend.

...and you think it will stop there? eventually anything that causes the slightest offence will be counted as a hate crime. How can a society progress if you can't discuss sensitive matters? it's one step closer to authoritarian rule where everyone just has to shut up and do what big brother says or be carted off for re-education.

"University lecturers are fuelling an ideological “monoculture” in British universities, the higher education minister has warned.
Sam Gyimah told of his concern that certain views - ranging from identity politics to Brexit - have become “unacceptable” at universities simply because they are not “on trend”. It is not just students who are contributing to this but the entire “campus community”, he said. Speaking to vice-Chancellors at the Universities UK (UUK) annual conference in Sheffield, he said that institutions must not be seen as “ideological echo chambers”.
“Our best universities are not ivory towers. Still less are they ‘left-wing madrassas’, as one controversialist chose to describe them,” he said.
“But ideological diversity, strong research cultures, engagement with the wider world, and fair access are ongoing battles – and the price of failure will be very high.”
Mr Gyimah said that he has spent months touring British universities and noticed that a “big issue” is the emergence of a “monoculture” where “certain ideas are just ruled out as unacceptable in our current debate”.

Perhaps it is just me but I think that you may be getting your knickers in a twist over a distinctly tongue-in-cheek, satirical post designed to get right-wing loonies jumping up and down and yelling about their right to freedom to be complete idiots.
Expect such things from me? Please elaborate.
Also waiting for a full cost breakdown of how much this has cost the force, other than the cost of sending a couple of tweets.

It’s not what's it cost so far, it’s what it will cost in future for them to rush to the aid of someone who can’t handle a silly tweet or two.

Excellent initiative. With one single tweet they've identified over 6000 instances of insulting comments, the ROI on this is impressive. Granted all of those insults are directed at South Yorkshire Police but that's hardly relevant.
Caporegime
Well...They had to put the image in the tweets together and that didn't exactly do itself, did it?
Someone has had to come up with the campaign.
It will have gone through approval.
Someone has put together the tweets and posted them.
All time and resource that should have been spent on crimes. It doesn't matter how long it took, it took too long.
So you think there was a whole campaign just on this specific non-crime message? I guess that's to be expected from you
I'm out. Have a nice day.

Is that the same Sam Gymiah who is a Tory whip ("I keep the troops in line. I put a bit of stick about. I make 'em jump.") and who is famous for "talking out" a motion in Parliament?
Yes, I can see that he would be a huge fan of free speech

Not sure why people want to allow hate crime, really bizarre. Such raging lives you all lead. 
If you all get old and die can leave the world to nicer people.

So is this about buffing crime stats then? #easywins?
Soldato
Except they're not crimes and SYP have stated that. Part of me thinks this is an attempt to get people to come forward and report incidents that they don't think are hate crimes but actually are. Casting a wide net as it were.

Your delineation between fiction and reality seems blurred again, the "I keep the troops in line" quote is from the fictional Francis Urquart in the equally fictional TV series "House of Cards".
Sam Gymiah is a Europhile, a staunch defender of "LGBT" rights and same sex marriage, and is black, I thought you'd have bonded to him like a brother, is it the Tory bit that biles you?

Sig worthy, I'm tempted.....
Do it. It will come back to bite him on the **** some day. Can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to put that down in writing in this day and age, attempted "joke" or not.
All you lefties pushing for more censorship imagine in the future Israel rounds up Palestinians in concentration camps and expands Israel's borders into Palestine, would you be happy that you can't critcise Israeli policies because it's deemed to be 'hate speech'? you'd be offended millions of Jews afterall. Enjoy your mental prison.

I reserve the right to hate people because of their race, sex, religion, or just for the hell of it.
