This is how we suddenly GET cops using personal phones for comms because they’re simply unwilling to commit anything to texts from or to the work phone that may one day implicate them out of context.
And it’s easy to decide context will never matter, but “that’s James Connolly on the corner” “let’s get him” is an easy thing to twist from an arrest to a hastily planned bullying.

But your example includes the context. If James was arrested without incident, “get him” is obviously nothing nefarious.
