Rodney emphasized that inciting violence on social media is a criminal offense and unacceptable behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaking threats using electronic devices is a criminal offense. We have legislation to enforce the law,\u201d he said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He urged the public to refrain from sharing violent and threatening content online and affirmed the police\u2019s commitment to maintaining law and order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cViolence is not acceptable and will not be part of our culture. The police force will use all efforts to minimize such risks.\u201d<\/p>
