[b]"In addition to reporting hate crime, please report non-crime hate incidents, which can include things like offensive or insulting comments, online, in person or in writing. Hate will not be tolerated in South Yorkshire. Report it and put a stop to it "Lol, a tweet from the Yorkshire police.
It gets better, their tweet response after being called out:
"police can only prosecute when the law is broken, but we want to know about non-crime hate incidents. Incidents may not be criminal offenses but can feel like a crime to those affected, & can sometimes escalate to crimes.”
Lol Piggle, Walshy, or Scribble...is Yorkshire near you guys? [/B]

Don't like the tone of this post. You gonna get yorkshire'd for this I guarantee it.
Originally posted by walshyYeah it could be useful for that or maybe just report crimes like you're supposed to without dipping your toe into deeper and deeper thoughtcrime and outright authoritarianism
I think it's fine like if someone is a known racist or something then idk punches a black guy cause he's black they'd have known this guy is a racist and it wasn't like just a night out in Yorkshire that ended in a fight
I think it's usually pretty obvious when it's a hate crime, without any prior knowledge. Racists are hardly subtle, if he did punch a black guy, he'd probably also be hurling racist epithets at the same time. Either way, it won't prevent the crime.
