11 Arrests Over Racist Abuse After Euros Final

Well those racists that thought they’d get away online abuse towards the three England players that missed the penalties in the Euros final are now on the run with eleven arrests so far made by the police in the UK.

“There are people out there who believe they can hide behind a social media profile and get away with posting such abhorrent comments. They need to think again,” Chief Constable Mark Roberts, National Police Chiefs’ Council Football Policing Lead, said in a statement.

“We have investigators proactively seeking out abusive comments in connection to the match and, if they meet a criminal threshold, those posting them will be arrested.

“Our investigation is continuing at pace and we are grateful for those who have taken time to report racist posts to us.”
