Recently, Li Mou, a man in Qingtongxia City, Wuzhong, Ningxia, was dissatisfied with the control of the epidemic in the community, and posted a "dog head emoji" in the WeChat group of more than 330 people, and was found to insult the police as a provocation and was punished with administrative detention for 9 days.
This matter triggered discussion among netizens. Some netizens believe that Li mou does not respect the volunteers, and this emoji is also suspected of insulting the police; some people believe that just by relying on the emoji, it is considered that the insult to the police is too on-line, and the emoji is just a way to express humor.
On November 2, the surging news (www.thepaper.cn) learned from the relevant departments of Wuzhong City that it has paid attention to the public opinion on the Internet, the public security and propaganda departments have intervened to deal with it, and there are staff in charge of the incident, and the specific situation is temporarily inconvenient to disclose.
Screenshots from online transmissions show that some people in the group chat said that "being a volunteer can do anything" and "getting up at 6 o'clock, you can go out and eat a free meal." Subsequently, a group chat member posted a dog-headed emoji.
The Paper has repeatedly called the Qingtongxia City Public Security Bureau and the Chengguan Police Station, but no one has answered for the time being.
Earlier, the Qingtongxia Municipal Public Security Bureau issued a document saying that at about 18:00 on October 30, 2021, the police of chengguan police station received reports from the masses, and someone sent a message insulting the people's police in the WeChat group. After obtaining this information, the Chengguan police station quickly organized police forces to investigate.

The police summoned Li to the police station in accordance with the law, and after interrogation, he confessed to the illegal facts of insulting the people's police in the WeChat group.
According to the provisions of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Public Security Administration Punishments, the Qingtongxia Municipal Public Security Bureau punished Li with nine days of administrative detention in accordance with the law.

Ding Jinkun, a lawyer at Shanghai Dabang Law Firm, told the surging news on the 2nd that in such a case, whether the poster's intention is to joke or insult needs to be determined by the overall environment. "During the epidemic period, the epidemic prevention personnel are very hard, and such memes are still not appropriate." Ding Jinkun believes that in addition, it is also necessary to standardize the definition of picking quarrels and provoking troubles, so that the law can be predicted and avoid the willfulness of law enforcement.
