Officer investigating reports of an inappropriate tweet regarding #PSHelicopter incident. To reiterate - this will not be tolerated. 1/2

I dont know about you but i find this tweet very worrying, While KT can understand that the police are upset about the crash and the death and injury of those involved it does not give them the OK to go around and suspend the freedom of speech and expression of others, The freedom of speech extends further than the freedom of speech of those you agree with, it goes to those that you disagree with.
If a current coalition Minister tweeted something similar the left would be saying we live in a "fascist state" and clamping down on the "plebs" etc, Freedom of speech is for everyone, not just those you agree with.
Nice title, but I'm going with 'The Thin (Skinned) Blue Line' for mine... ;) Will link.
