Met Police cleared over handling of Sarah Everard vigil – BBC Newsnight


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?

Newsnight’s Sima Kotecha reports. Emily Maitlis is joined by Sir Peter Fahy, former Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, and Anna Birley, one of the organisers of the Clapham Vigil.
