An incredible photo has Twitter users divided over the age of police officers, with one person saying “they’re getting younger and younger”.
The image features two recent recruits, Alfie and Noah, from West Yorkshire Police, proudly posing. However, their youthful appearance has ignited a wave of comments, some of which are far from kind.
After their superintendent shared the picture on Twitter, these student officers became the target of a torrent of vile abuse. One social media user claimed they had been “1000% bullied at school,” while another questioned whether the pension had become so dire officers now had to start at the age of 12.
Despite the onslaught, several serving cops came to their defence, urging them to “stay safe and keep believing”. Even those who wished them well acknowledged the photo was evidence of officers becoming “younger and younger”.
However, the trolls continued their onslaught. One nasty individual commented: “The 10-year-old could have washed his hands before his pic with the boss” while another asked: “Has puberty struck yet?”
