Great feats are performed daily by law enforcers, these publicised & applauded, rightly! Converse should apply. Mistakes as grave as this fatality, requires contrition not ultra defensive stance by Chief Officers. Erosion of public confidence is self evident. #PublicConfidence

Shoreham air crash pilot, 54, is found NOT guilty of manslaughter Article share Shoreham air crash pilot, 54, is found NOT guilty of manslaughter mol.im/a/6781647 Apology appears genuine. But it cannot counter blows from a legal system that cannot deliver Justice !

There is no "old or new wave" ! But there is need for us to see past self-promotion and marketing of products.

Police chase moped gang who are caught in middle of raid on phone shop mol.im/a/6781121 via @MailOnline Now, this is effective response policing. Nothing but praise officers involved. Footnote: Police leaders - dispense with single patrol. Courts - increase sentences.

Change S & S grounds; Adopt Public Health Approach; Recruit more police; Increase police pay; Toughen sentences on conviction; Give police Tasers, Spit hoods & other kit ... ...BUT until 'Crime problem' tactics replace 'Race problem' approach, we're going to see far more tragedy!

Police chiefs promise major ‘surge’ against knife violence standard.co.uk/news/crime/po… Crime strategies supplemented by public health approach will help. But until the Race based approach ends the problem will worsen. This is a CRIME problem, NOT RACE problem. #Discrimination

Criminals are the only enemy of police and the communities the police serve. Focusing unnecessarily on characteristics of Race, Ethnicity, Culture etc rather than crimes, that itself is a crime against humanity. #Racism #PolicingwithDifference

Met: It may take 100 years for police force to reflect population standard.co.uk/news/crime/me… Only 100 years? All received, I will try and hang around to see this. #Discrimination #Racism

Not News !! theguardian.com/world/2019/j… Periodic media references to this state of affairs are mere gimmicks. It isn't News, for far too many people it is LIFE !!! #Discrimination

For avoidance of doubt! This merits high use of force, possibly lethal! Unequivocal support for robust police response. Would differ from deaths after some Stop & Search tactics e.g. possession drugs or dealing with mentally unwell people posing more risk to selves than others.

For accuracy his reference and claim was about knowledge of what is and isn't typical of 'Black Men'. I could be mistaken, but I do not think @Peter_Kirkham possesses this knowledge. But of course he is entitled to comment as he wishes... notwithstanding the unease caused.

Recruiting police to reflect diversity of London ‘will take decades' standard.co.uk/news/london/r… Sir Stephen House projects the future. Past failures on these recommendations during periods he was on MET’s Management Board hasn’t affected his progress with Knighthood & Promotions.

Stop and search use more than doubles in Hackney in four months, figures show hackneygazette.co.uk//news/s… The problem is not Diane Abbott, nor the rise in numbers of S&S (increase welcomed). But, claims that the tactic is intelligence led, when it is not, results in permanent damage!

Police officer sacked over Kingsley Burrell death false account birminghammail.co.uk/news/mi… Exonerated or acquitted is less of a problem compared to the seven years that has elapsed. These cases ‘drag by design’, but decision-makers take little note of irreparable damage resulting.

Police officer who killed shopkeeper in crash allowed to keep job birminghammail.co.uk/black-c… Critical steps needed: 1. communicate all factors resulting in Misconduct panel’s decisions; 2. assure consenting public so there can be confidence in the police service. Awaits both 1&2
