> About 6 months ago, a woman was murdered by a UK serving police officer. He approached Sara Everard as she was walking home, introduced himself as an off-duty officer, showed a warrant card, arrested her, hand-cuffed her and put her in his car. It is perfectly legal for an off-duty officer to do all of these things. Then he [content warning: severe violence against women] This is not a pitting of the killer.
