大象传媒 Trending: The Politician 鈥楾rolled by Police鈥�
Australian police officers are being investigated over the trolling of a Green Party politician. Jenny Leong was sent racist messages when she opposed a policy on sniffer dogs.
Trending often covers trolling online, but it isn鈥檛 often that the police are the ones accused of sending abusive messages.
That鈥檚 just what鈥檚 happened in Australia this week where police officers in New South Wales are being investigated over the alleged trolling of an Australian politician. Jenny Leong was sent racist and sexist messages after she opposed the state鈥檚 sniffer dog policy.
The 大象传媒鈥檚 Australia correspondent Jon Donnison talks to Anne-Marie Tomchak about how an argument about drug detection got out of hand.
