The police commissioner was recorded saying those comments on Sky News
television. I think that makes it reliable. :)
However, if the authorities disapprove of his comments (in case it
offends US politicians), we may see a series of back-tracking
articles.
The mainstream news is very sensitive to only publishing 'approved'
news or rephrasing bad news as required.
This certainly seems to be an over-estimation of his powers by the
commissioner. This indicates how really annoyed the government is by
these rebellious 'deplorables'.
