A woman’s voice is heard yelling ‘please stop!’ as one officer appears to punch Ms Olatunjoye several times while the others try to put handcuffs on her

Footage showing police officers appearing to pin down and hit a black woman as she shouts ‘I can’t breathe’ has sparked an official investigation., in a clip filmed on May 9.

Lawyer and political rights activist Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, who posted the clip on Twitter, said: ‘Why would it take six police officers to pin down one woman in Lewisham? I can see police hitting her as she screams I can’t breathe? Shouting ‘Please stop’ as she’s being slapped. She’s restrained.’ ‘The vehicle attempted to make off after officers signalled for it to stop. It became blocked and the male driver and female passenger were detained.‘Both were searched under section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act and subsequently arrested.’

The white police officer tells him the search is due to reports of drug-related activity in the area, but only after questioning him at length about why he was sitting outside.George Floyd wheezed ‘I can’t breathe’ as Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck Large gatherings are forbidden under Covid-19 legislation, although police did not attempt to use this to shut down the protests in London this weekend.

Are British police officers turning into American ones Or are there the racist ones amongst all of them? If so, the UK government needs to stop this now. 6 police officers restraining 1 woman... Ludicrous. Is this more a reflection on the police officers lacking in everything..

Woman doesn't want to be legitimately arrested, grainy video shows no evidence whatsoever of punching and Metro thinks that's acceptable journalism. IpsoNews
