Camden Police omitted some important context from this tweet and raised eyebrows everywhere
You probably know it’s International Women’s Day on Wednesday and lots of individuals and organisations have been doing all sorts of things to mark the day.
They included Camden Police, although one particular tweet omitted some important context and, well, best have a look for yourself.
It prompted all sorts of responses, quite a few of them pointing out this.

But mostly it was just confusion prompted by the International Women’s Day hashtag.

It was only when you looked at an earlier Camden Police tweet that all became clear.
Got it.
Maybe threading these tweets would have been a good idea…

Textbook social media fail here. For IWD, they’ve handed the account over to some women police officers to document their shift. Great idea! But this tweet is in total isolation, meaning the hashtag looks super weird. This is why you hire professionals to do social comms. https://t.co/8dcT2B1sO3

Let them off with a caution.
