Those who the remarks are about.

I did say that it seemed a bit overboard when the police are saying they are short of resources. The emails were not known to me at the time.
I've heard that the police have become involved with a journalist over something she posted on Twitter/X and that she now regrets posting it.
Do you know anything about this as it was only briefly mentioned on the News.

Didn't 'forget', this information wasn't known at the time.
A complaint was made, it was investigated and, subsequently, it was 'no further actioned'.
We don't know the actual wording of what was posted, it could have been libellous, insulting, threatening etc.

What part of "Private" is hard to grasp here.
Oh, and as above ;

People are entitled to complain about what is said about them, even if it was never intended that they see the remarks. In some ways, if it was said behind their back, it's actually worse.
