Police in Manchester, England have been told not to arrest Muslims wanted on warrants at prayer times during Ramadan

BBC News:

Greater Manchester Police confirmed it had asked detectives not to make planned arrests during those periods for reasons of religious sensitivity.

The advice was emailed out to officers working in Moss Side, Hulme, Whalley Range, Rusholme, Fallowfield, Ardwick, Longsight, Gorton and Levenshulme.

Police said it was not a blanket ban, just a "request for sensitivity".

Let me translate for the Greater Manchester Police mouthpiece in the previous post and explain what remaining "professional" and "respectful" means:

"If you sods arrest a Muslim during Ramadan and those paythan buggers get their panties in a twist FOR ANY REASON, we are not going to back you up, we are going to cut you loose and let you twist slowly in the wind, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Believe me, the copper on the beat knows what they really mean.
