Get your news from us, say police

A police graphic on Twitter lists some of the 'false speculation' about the police, including that they chase people to their deaths and plant evidence on people they arrest.

The police have again warned people not to believe all the "groundless allegations" being made against them, saying they're part of a plot to turn people against the force.



In a social media post, the police gave examples of the "fake news" the public should not believe, including that officers race into malls to disperse people, or that they plant evidence on people they arrest.



A graphic accompanying the post also rejects the idea that police have chased people to their deaths.



The police say that if people want to know the truth, they should get their information directly from the force.



"Over the past 6 months, there have been numerous false rumours and groundless allegations calculated to mislead the public and incite anti-police sentiments," the post on Twitter says.



"Keep an open mind to stay enlightened! To reject misinformation, always spend effort on fact-checking and stay tuned to the police's official information!"
