The Metropolitan Police acted "appropriately" at a vigil for Sarah Everard in south London earlier this month, a police watchdog has found. Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
The force came under intense criticism after women were handcuffed and removed from crowds on Clapham Common.
A report said there was too little communication between officers at the event but their response, amid Covid restrictions, had been "measured".
The findings were received as a shock by some who believe the force was overbearing – even violent – in its treatment of the women who protested that night.
What impact will this have on winning back trust of some women?
For those in positions of power who were quick to condemn the police behaviour, will they accept the findings of the report or fight it?
