Yes, really. The officer demanded that she apologise about the post, without informing her what the post was about or who she was supposed to apologise to.

To make it worse, Deborah is in the midst of cancer treatment, including chemotherapy. She ought to be have been convalescing. Instead, she was harassed for her tweets.

The FSU took on her case and, as a result, the police have now dropped their investigation. But they still haven't told Deborah which of her posts got her into trouble, claiming they've accidentally deleted the record of the complaint. 

Thames Valley Police are responsible for guarding President Trump this week. What would he make of the fact that those same officers are visiting the homes of his supporters – including US citizens – and threatening them with arrest.
