Humberside Police BANS woke cops from wearing glitter and face paint at Pride events
by Shari Miller, Mailonline:
Home Secretary Suella Braverman says officers aren’t paid to ‘dance with drag queens’.
Humberside Police has become the first force to publicly ban cops wearing glitter and face paint at Pride events.
The force announced the move just days after Home Secretary Suella Braverman jibed in the Commons that police were not paid to ‘dance with drag queens’ at LGBT+ events.
Humberside chiefs say officers will no longer be pictured donning the make up at such festivities.
Rachel Cook, chief executive of the Office of the Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner, said the force’s stance was ‘very neutral’.
Responding to a question from Councillor John Davison, of North Lincolnshire Council, about community policing, she said: ‘I think we’re in a very neutral territory.
‘You won’t see any photographs of our officers wearing glitter and face paint.’
Ms Braverman has ordered an impartiality review into ‘initiatives that are not meeting the priorities that the public expect of the police’.
