Kent Police are idiots
On occasions such as this, Steve Hughes has it right...

I guess it's whether or not you consider a person's facebook page private property?
If he'd interrupted the memorial service doing that and shouting 'how about that you squaddy cunts' I don't think an arrest would be disproportionate. But isn't viewing somebody's facebook page consensual anyway? I mean, it's not like they're pretending to be somebody else?
This is becoming a worrying trend.

I think interrupting a public service can quite easily count as public disorder.
Facebook is as close to public disorder as wearing an offensive t-shirt

This is very worrying
It was a protest (of sorts) against a group rather than an individual, using a symbol of that group.
This could be the same for crosses, American flags, effigies of politicians or fucking Marmite! If you don't like something you should be allowed to say that you don't like it and do things to show you don't like it. You are not allowed to tell lies about the thing you don't like and you are not allowed to do anything to impede the people who do like it but in this case that did not happen.

I'm burning a Swastika flag as this very moment
am I in danger of police brutality?

I like this comment:
"What was the point of winning either World War if, in 2012, someone can be casually arrested by Kent Police for burning a poppy?"
