The "LH" comment went too far. Social media is a fine line, if it was a pure friend request, maybe, but you have to keep in mind this was a member of security and a household staff. It can be done if one or both people keep it at a friend level and keep work convos. out of it. It's still dicey.
We don't know the entire background. There's also a way to request something such as an officer removing his kit, a polite way or a commanding way. If the officer cops an attitude or repeats his action, then he/she and myself have a problem
The officer get his/her rear end chewed off. If that doesn't work, I go higher. We just don't know the fine details.
