The Suffolk Police Federation has spoken out in support of their officers.
It comes after two were found to have no case to answer for misconduct following an incident in June last year.
Darren Harris, Chairman of Suffolk Police Federation, said:
"Police officers have an incredibly difficult job to do - now more than ever - and they are of course highly accountable for their actions.
"Whilst public scrutiny is expected, officers should never be subject to trial by Social Media.
"In this case we must note that when all the evidence has been diligently considered as part of an independent investigation, the actions of our colleagues have been found to be appropriate and proportionate.
"Suffolk Police Federation has been supporting these officers since the incident gained prominence. We now look forward to continuing to support them as they go about their roles keeping the people of Suffolk safe."
