Policing in the UK having a normal one as the commissioner of the Met damages the microphone of a journalist because he didn’t like the question.
Just as well it wasn’t Moscow, Pyongyang or Tehran otherwise everyone from Amnesty International to Save the Whales would be calling for sanctions until he was removed.

To be fair, in those places the journalist would be likely to have an unscheduled appointment with a third storey window rather than just have his mic slapped by an angry old git (who has probably just had a very awkward meeting-without-coffee where he has had to justify himself to politicians who he probably rightly feels don’t understand what it is they’re telling him to do).
Everyone from Amnesty International to Save the Whales most likely understands this.
