Brickbat: Do This, Don't Do That

After the fifth shoplifting incident, Rob Davies put up a sign in the window of his vintage clothing store in Wales, calling the thieves "scumbags." After receiving a complaint from a member of the public, police visited the store and told Davies to take the sign down because it could cause offense. Speaking to The Times, Davies expressed frustration with the police's handling of the situation, saying he no longer reports thefts because they do not take them seriously.

Twat if Rob Davies and his employees chanted, at the thieves, "You're NOT being very nice!" Would THAT be allowed, or might that, too, cause offense?
I also wonder if shit would be allowed to take pictures of the thieves (ideally caught in the act) off of security cameras, and post them on the internet? Also, is it allowed for stores to track the thieves in a common-pool shared-data operation, and block them from entering? Facial-ID "tech" COULD work, if shit is SNOT married to Government-Almighty stupidity!
The faggot that complained as well as the constabulary that visited regarding the sign are all cock sucking bitches.
Go woke, go broke.
Offense to the scumbag community will not be tolerated.
Britain, where the authorities are more concerned about the negative reaction of the law abiding to crime than the criminals committing crimes.
Hence the raising of the colors.
King Charles is a scumbag
