This, for Graham, is a crucial difference, offensive memes or messages are shared without people having to think about the people who see it. However, former officer Graham Wettone said that whilst there was clearly a line for what was acceptable, it was crucial to give police the ability to speak freely and process traumatic experiences. Wettone said the police often expect people to read between the lines when it comes to information released. Mr Wettone said: “They'll be gutted they didn't find her in a week or so. If they think they missed her they'll be even more devastated. We have had some incredible cases up in Northumbria where they were looking for criminals, and they didn’t want to say what they had done because of their human rights.”

Graham Wettone told the PA news agency that conditions in the River Wyre would have been challenging with poor visibility and Ms Bulley's body would have moved around during the time she was in the water.But I think there is a line that people are now crossing over [with] some comments or views that are clearly offensive and should be being shared. The veteran former Metropolitan Police officer, who was in the force for 30 years, said: “That was a really difficult search. This, Graham said, meant that the police, who were largely socialising with each other and therefore tended to look at things one way. We continue to support the Metropolitan Police as they conduct their investigation and also the wider community as we all come to terms with this tragedy," he says. They’ve had to tread very, very carefully,” he said. “On the issue of when and how they release that she’s a vulnerable person, they’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t.”

One man starts pointing in an officer's face before shoving starts between several men and some of the officers, with one person dragged to the floor.But it all comes down to governments and government resources.
