Black Met Police family recounts son being #raciallyprofiled by Met Police.
An everyday story of stop and search however on this occasion the young man, who is a model citizen and just happened to be the son of a retired Metropolitan Police Officer whose Aunt is currently Chair of Metropolitan Black Police Officers Association.
It's a classic story of racial profiling, violent handcuffing and the use of force that is heard day after day, time and time again. I interviewed the young man concerned, his father and his aunt and nephew could not be any clearer, there is an acute crisis of confidence in the Metropolitan police service by London's African and Caribbean communities.
The boy's father, a retired officer with 22 years experience says London Commissioner Cressida Dick is not fit for the job. He calls out Section 60 stop and search powers as the new SUS law, and both he and his sister a detective sergeant with 29 years experience are absolutely clear, the Metropolitan police service is an institutionally racist organisation.
