Proportionality never observed

What actually is the point of sending two coppers to harass a journalist about something she put online if they have no idea what she wrote and no idea who made the complaint and no idea what was actually complained about?
    Sounds like all they were doing was attempted intimidation of the sort you expect from a criminal gang.
    Sounds like an excellent reason to sack the inspector who sent the coppers on their fool’s errand for incompetence; or demote him/her to the rank of constable. And hit the chief constable with a stonking fine of 10% of his/her salary.
    Or maybe that should be 20% after the Essex police did a press release about the incident which was as full as lies as anything we get from Smarmer’s Army.
    How wonderful to live in England with Two-Tier Beer in charge and actively backing the police crusade against non-crimes.
