U.K. releases "hate crime" police vehicles to encourage reports from LGBT community - Spooky - 08-23-2021

What. I live in the UK and hadn't even heard of this until I came across this thread.
I don't think they're changing who gets arrested for hate crime. This is just a marketing campaign to encourage people to report when something horrible is done to you. It's a bit strange to have LGBT plastered all over police cars, but if it improves relations between civilians and the police, I'm not against it.

Seems like a good initiative. I've no idea If it would really help the community ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But who knows, maybe it helps a bit

the only thing I hate about these "ism"-crimes is that like....... white, heterosexual men can never be a target of them.
real hate crimes against white people doesnt fall under any "ism" so
it isnt technically racism when 9 arabs hatefuck a white girl against her will?

I'm not sure I could take them seriously if they're dressed the color of the rainbow. Somehow it just lacks professionalism...

I can't wait for them to roll out thought crime vehicles.

I doubt this is doing much except waste time and money. I'm not up-to-date with UK politics, but from what I've read hate crime reports have nearly doubled before this became a trend.
And if I was a homophobic Englishman, I doubt that seeing police cars with pride flags on them would make me any less homophobic.
