How do you know she hasn't got Tinder Gold?
It's almost like some of you are weirdos who yet again blaming a woman on a thread about violence to women
No, it is random who it shows but you still have to swipe to like so if she was suddenly getting 50 police officers liking her profile then there is an element of human action.
The police are investigating it so it's not just a paper story.
Hmmm, I honestly don't know about tinder, and how it works, so I've been staying out of that. The only looking for attention line disturbs me somewhat - we had similar accusations with Marlon King's victim when photos of her were published in the papers.
Surely... after a headline case that's subject of this thread, we should be pleased that the police actually are investigating this? If there's nothing in it, there's nothing in it (an investigation does not imply guilt) but... stopping women coming forward with complaints is not the way.
After all, if only somebody had investigated the purpetrator of this crime more effectively...
I don't know, I'd rather let an investigation see if there was anything in it, rather than the automatic assumption that woman in press with claims of sexual harassment = looking for attention.Just a coincidence she goes to the papers with a non-story just after the court case?

What's wrong with letting an investigation determine, rather than rushing to judgement? You're doing exactly what you're accusing David O'Day of doing, except he's automatically deciding police are wrong'uns, you're deciding a woman who makes a claim of harassment is automatically doing it for some kind of publicity.So a woman who is on Tinder (the app known for people trying to get a shag or meet somebody) and seemingly pays for it, is being sexually harassed by people swiping right on her?
Remember, both can be right. You can have her turn up on lots of police's profiles because of that, it might be innocent that they don't realise why she's there, she might well be disturbed if suddenly a load of uniformed coppers start liking you in that moment, given the wider context.Doesn't it work based on where you are and people nearby?
If she'd been in the nick then the app might have just linked her to a load of police.
Non-story from someone that is hungry for the publicity.

Talk about missing the point - I’m not talking about Tinder ffs.If somebody swiping right on tinder is "unsavoury" or "sexual harassment" then I think they had better get building new prisons as millions of people are going to prison.

I don't know how Tinder works either, but to instantly dismiss as a non story & flippantly accuse her of attention seeking, its pretty bad & that attitude is a part of why women are angry in the first place. Anything that prompts the police to take a look at what may be going on in their ranks is a good thing, surely? It might be crap, or they might find some truth in it, but to just immediately write it off as BS is wrong.
There is more than a small minority in the police i’d classify as unsavoury - not to extent of the crimes we’re talking about here though.In general, of course there will be a minority of wronguns in the police.
I was just pointing out that somebody just swiping on Tinder is hardly a wrongun.
If anything, the woman in question seems very much a wrongun for making a woman's death all about her...

It seems to be a sore point with some but its pretty obvious that there is a deeply unpleasant element to the police which needs to be looked at fast, and instantly dismissing any report because of the technical aspects of a dating site or personal opinions of the person making the report isn't exactly going to help that.
Maybe if you knew how Tinder worked you would know it's crap?
The whole "she is a woman so you can't point out the bullshit" is more wrong.
The thing is, if she had said "When I was arrested I got 50 Friend Requests on Facebook all from Coppers" then it would be more logical than saying Tinder.
There is no doubt at all there will be wronguns in the police across the country, no doubt there will be some police grooming victims and things like that.
This woman is trying to make it about her, if anything she is detracting away from the ACTUAL issues. Instead of the usual people like D'OD claiming that anybody who disagrees is part of the problem, they should have a step back. She also included Security Guards in that, since March...
To be fair I don't know anything about this woman apart from the pics at the protest and then today. Security guards is strange, not sure why they'd be on her case.
If you look at my comments over the past week you'll see I have very little time for the police at all at the moment.It seems to be a sore point with some but its pretty obvious that there is a deeply unpleasant element to the police which needs to be looked at fast, and instantly dismissing any report because of the technical aspects of a dating site or personal opinions of the person making the report isn't exactly going to help that.
This is just nonsense though, I don't know why media is giving her airtime for her ego when it could be amplifying actual instances of institutionalised misogyny
I just assumed you had a clue about it considering the posts you were liking?
I like the fact that action is being taken to look into it, I like the fact that its another chance for the police to look at themselves, because their credibility is very low & it may be that more people who shouldn't be wearing a uniform are dealt with, and I don't like the way that its instantly & flippantly dismissed as attention seeking. Just my opinion.
It doesn't help that attention seeking is often the distraction sent out, when sexual violence happens and a case gets media traction.I like the fact that action is being taken to look into it, I like the fact that its another chance for the police to look at themselves, because their credibility is very low & it may be that more people who shouldn't be wearing a uniform are dealt with, and I don't like the way that its instantly & flippantly dismissed as attention seeking.

If I worked in PR for the police I genuinely couldn’t think of a better story to push out a message that those complaining are hysterical about nothing. Will bring people who have been on the fence back on side so easily.

When the default assumption becomes woman making accusation = publicity driven whore v police defending = sexual deviant misogynist... then we're in a very sorry (and simplified) world...
They need to look into it quietly and professionally
