Original Note:
The police officer is not alleging that holding a flag is deemed racist. Instead, the police officer appears to be warning the individuals that racist language will lead to an arrest. This is in line with UK legislation. https://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/hco/hate-crime/what-is-hate-crime/
