Aren't we all just starting to get used to the net and what gets said/remembered?
It's a weird medium. People post pics of parties they've been to then get judged on them by potential employers, it's a private thing that gets public judgement. It's all a bit new and unchartered ground. The rules are being made up as we go along.

No - police officers and many other public workers are not free to say whatever they want - that goes way back before the internet. When I was in the military and as a civil servant causing or contributing to matters of public controversy was potentially a sackable offence.

Just starting?
I've been online twenty years as have millions of others.
Copper can think what she likes but coppers don't have freedom of speech nd rightly so.
They have to be seen as impartial not taking sides and making religious political ethnic statements.

It's the public versus private aspect I'm thinking of. Everyone's free to say what they want privately. Some still don't realise Facebook/Twitter aren't private. Sometimes people believe if your on your own in front of a tablet/computer/phone you're typing privately. It's only when they see the public reaction that they realise what a folly it was to think that. I've a feeling she was having a rant and pressed submit/send without thinking it through.
