The nature of his arrest is being looked into by police watchdog the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), which will determine whether the officers 'treated the man differently because of his race'

Scotland Yard deputy commissioner Sir Steve House said the footage was"deeply concerning" and added that some of the techniques were"not taught in police training", causing him"great concern".

Appealing for witnesses, the IOPC said:"One officer has been advised that they are subject to a criminal investigation for common assault and investigation for gross misconduct on use of force; authority, respect and courtesy; discreditable conduct and honesty and integrity. "A second officer has been advised they are subject to a misconduct investigation on challenging and reporting improper conduct; authority, respect and courtesy and honesty and integrity."

Regional director Sal Naseem said the watchdog will look at whether the use of force was"appropriate and proportionate".He has pleaded not guilty and was granted technical bail as the case was sent to Snaresbrook Crown Court on 17 August by district judge Gillian Allison.

This is daily race baiting now! You’re meant to be a news service not BLM’s press team

FOR ALL THW FUCKING THICK FUCKS HE HAD A KNIFE 🙄🙄

You could not make it up..... wait.... you have!

Well good luck proving that because I highly dealt theres any evidence to prove its racism.

You do realise that black people are going to have free rein to do whatever they please with no consequences? Stop this anti police rhetoric. It’s stoking up hate & vitriol towards police from the black communities 🤨

The recent coverage by Skynews and their unreasoned hatred for everything to do with the metpoliceuk has made me want to cancel the whole skytv - I hate being their customer. virginmedia hurry up and get to my house so I can walk away from these tramps!

If proven to be right any officer investigated should just go off with stress or have a mass walk out to show solidarity for fellow officers metpoliceuk

sky the race baiters - you will enjoy covering the riots when the silent majority have had enough

Only when white is involved but blacks they look away 🤡🤡🤡

Wait. He has a knife I might be hurt. Wait he is black should I let him go. Wait. I will apprehend him and do my job. Bad mistake wrong decision now I am in trouble.

Why the officers who shot and killed Breonna Taylor may never be arrestedA tangled legal doctrine in Kentucky means a kind of self-defense stalemate that leaves a lot of questions over what charges a prosecutor could bring against the officers Cuz the system is broken and we r going to keep voting and keep being involved till we fix it. UK should focus on their own problems. Any Churches left over there? Plenty of Mosques going up.
