Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick has apologised to Bianca Williams after the Great Britain sprinter and her partner were handcuffed during a stop and search.
Dame Cressida told MPs that two officers had spoken to Williams and Ricardo dos Santos on Tuesday evening to say sorry for the"distress" caused by the incident.Williams claimed officers racially profiled her during the incident on Saturday in Maida Vale, west London, which saw the pair being separated from their three-month-old son in the traffic stop.The Met subsequently reviewed footage of the incident, taken from multiple cameras, but said no misconduct had taken place.
But after"significant public interest" in the matter, the force referred itself to the police watchdog.
As they say Ms Dick grow a pair
Dick is in the wrong job, she should be a Social Worker
Why? Because she is famous?
Why do we have this old bint in charge of the KKK police ?
What a twerp. Police will be prevented from doing anything if she continues. Definitely lives up to her name
No backbone... it's amazing she even has a dick
He shouldn’t have done that.
thats crime rates away to soar, expect an apology everytime you get lifted
Coward
I expected metpoliceuk to arrest Williams & her partner but they apologised Expected them to arrest K&G McCann but say they not suspects Expected them to stop BLM smashing statues but they takethefuckingknee Expected them to run after thugs breaking law But they run away🤬
Disgusting, what a shameful climbdown when the pair of them were in the wrong.
You only apologise when your in the wrong, have they apologised for their part in this 😱
Grovelling weak utter disgrace!
I have never had 6 police officers shouting in my face whilst threatening to smash my windows whenever I have been maneuvering into a parking space outside my house . But then I am white. Most drugs couriers are white for this very reason!
Not OK - Police were wrong - batton drawn and handcuffed for a potential traffic infringement - why black people have to prove their innocence - why search for weapons? - what clue gave the police the impression there were weapons - why batton drawn - ready for a fight? WHY
Totally blacked out so no racial profiling, just doing their jobs CressidaDickResign
Just getting ridiculous, the law is the law, stand up for your officers. They did nothing wrong!!!
pritipatel think its time you asked this commissioner to stand down. She continually comes across as weak and feeble and shows no loyalty to her fellow police officers who have been under unwarranted scrutiny for weeks now.
Not enough, sack the Police TSG team! This lovely couple were targeted for being black & detained aggressively again for the 15th time by the same local Police. Too many bigots working for the MET. Londoners are outraged
Black people make up 3 percent of the population of England and do not want to comply with the law that applies to the 97 percent
But they was on the wrong side of the road and didn't stop when asked. So why do the police have to apologise.. askingforafriend
Get arrested by the police scream racist and you will be let off how crazy can this world be it's a case of RIGHT OR WRONG NOT RACE
Throwing her staff under the bus.
She needs to resign
pritipatel This woman is a joke and is not fit to be in charge. She is a disgrace, she has no business offering an apology for officers doing their job. She has thrown her troops under the bus, how can she be trusted to support her troops, please intervene .she needs to resign
OK sky news I had this notification sent to me 4 times over the past 3 days, it's starting to feel like your spamming your followers
Why is she still employed by the met?
Yep so now we don’t have to respect basic requests from metpoliceuk 👍 good to know
Yesterday! And you keep retweeting it. You are as bad as she is.
You should be supporting your police officers, they had no idea who was in the car because of blacked out windows, they were tryng to do their jobs. I was stopped and breathalysed when I was 21, it was News Years Eve, I hadn’t had a drink but I followed orders, did the test,
When the police start apologising then it’s an admission to not knowing what they are doing and incompetence. Well done. BLM now control this country. They must be loving life after this🇬🇧🤣
Resign because of the apology.
Should not have apologised. Come on Cressida. Man up like the rest of your force.
These institutions are beyound reform. Defund metpoliceuk & let's create a different public safety system that's free of prejudice and bias. Let's shrink the metpoliceuk workload so they can focus on terrorism & organise crime while we invest in community based crime prevention
Keep re tweeting the same racially inciting shit sky....try running a story that says her and her boyfriend should have done as they where told, like normal law abiding people!!!
It offends me that she thinks it’s acceptable to apologise because her colleagues were doing their jobs. Cressida Dick is spineless & a disgrace to the uniform. She needs replacing with someone who isn’t going to capitulate every time the race card is played metpoliceuk
Stop this shit
Labour want law changed so that black people must never be handcuffed. As it will remind them of their slavery. Police injured or killed will just have to accept that its their own fault.
She said sorry the occupants were distressed nothing else . Media trying to make out this is a big climb down by met . BS.
She apologised for her 'distress' not her treatment which was fine.
Weak spineless idiots you can’t keep given out apology’s after a black persons gets stopped by police. Other wise there be free to do what ever with no consequences it’s a joke and are police force is a joke
Why? I don’t understand Do we now have to ring every one up we have stopped, and apologise?
Maybe if she cooperated in an orderly manner and just complied like the thousands of other motorists who are stopped and searched ( not just black people ) it would of been of little inconvenience to herself and her passenger. Stop making everything a racial issue.
Humiliating and undermining your force what an embracement. Who would want to be an police officer at the moment.
Shocking that the police have apologised!
Useless.
No-one should be kicking and screaming thinking they are above the law,we need Stop & Search,far too many innocent people have been killed London because of horrific knife crimes..
Racial profiling🤔🤔 when 77% of all knife crime is a black on black and 58% of murders are committed by blacks i wouldnt call it racial profiling...i would call it common sense!! But yeah let's call it racism 🙄
That’s a name changer if ever there was one!
Hope she resigns, weak leader.
Woman out of politics Woman out of lead roles They are ruining our society
This is the ultimate back up the police get.
She should never of apologised they stopped and searched a criminal breaking the law getting fed up of the racist card always being pulled
Been done and gone. Move on
Incredible. We wonder why respect is lost to authority?
Cretinous Dick.
Resign....you should be protecting our officers rather than throwing them under a bus!
I´m surprised she wasn´t kneeling during that apology speech. Isn´t it compulsory in these days?
The majority of the public are sick of seeing the police grovelling. Grow a spine you are the law.
Obviously the MET doesn’t have a public relations or communications person advising them. This was not the right thing to say. Apologize, say we have learned from it and keep it moving by adopting better policies.
Well, I'd like an apologie also. I've been stopped and handcuffed whilst out driving my vehicle. Didn't see me Hit the headlines, like many hundreds of others in the same boat
How to throw your colleagues under the train!!! grow a bit a courage and back your colleagues who are already under fire from the media.
I hope I get an apology if the cops stop me....
Yet another one who now thinks they are above the law. Time to get rid of them
Why? She is the Commissioner it's not going to affect her promotion. The only thing would be an early retirement, which might be on the cards if she carry's on like this.
Edited film never lies?
As they say. Break a leg
Just look at her. Can you see the chip ? It’s all over her skin.
How about black police can only stop black people and white police white people? That will soon stop this race card bollocks they keep trying
So if you're famous you get let of for dangerous driving,disgraceful
Shit like this is breeding racism.
Did she accept the apologies or will she carry on with the BS?
Social. Services not involved Speeding, driving in the wrong side not stopping all that is actually endangering their baby, but eh lets cry, scream and, play the race card then we will get away with everything.. She better not represent us in the future..
Great. What about everyone else they pull over like that guy who's window they smashed ?
Does this mean police cant stop and search anyone? If ppl are stopped and searched by police they should co operate with the officers, resisting a stop and search your just causing the problem for yourself, same if you resist an arrest
Because they had to and not because they made any mistakes. This is the society we have now become. Police will not arrest people because of the colour of their skin for fear of false claims.
So now the metpoliceuk think it is acceptable to drag a mother with her young child out of the back seat of a car and put her in handcuffs. I cannot find words adequate to condemn Cressida Dick and her institutionally racist police force. It is beyond shameful.
Weak move from the police.
Why
Why
Wrong move! Next time...the cops will get a gun in their faces!
Racist Moaning‼👀
Why! Police did nothing wrong! This is how bullies work! Making people apologise for doing their jobs!
