‘Will set them off’: Police encourage Jewish man to hide Star of David

GB News presenter Darren Grimes has slammed police officers in Scotland after they were filmed encouraging a Jewish man to hide his Star of David necklace out of fear of retaliation from pro-Palestinian protesters. “If people see your Star … they will get very, very angry. So I am just making you aware that might trigger the people because obviously I understand you’re sitting on different sides of the fence,” the officer said. “That’s my only concern. The Star will set them off and cause an argument. There is only three of us here, it might be difficult for us to monitor the situation.” Mr Grimes questioned whether the police would ever make the same demands to someone of a different religion or if someone was wearing a hijab. “The political and media class would be screaming until blue in the face,” he told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “There would be accusations from police being Islamophobic, there would be accusations of religious intolerance.”
