Manchester: A policeman photographed playing badminton in full uniform with homeless protesters has been praised for building community relations after coming under fire.
The officer was snapped playing the sport at the homeless camp and the images were uploaded to the Manchester Angels Facebook page.
A comment was posted alongside the images, slating the force for ‘wasting taxpayers’ money’.
But dozens have come to the defence of the officer’s decision to play, saying it shows his willingness to engage with all sectors of the community.
