Ok you’re working a #PublicOrder event for the first time in London on mutual aid and you get called over to reports of an assault…👀 Let’s break it down. Policing is incredibly difficult to do perfectly. There are always three sides to every story, yours, theirs and the truth. Now the whole world has the benefit of hind sight, replays, and often a bigger online picture of different clips and different views of what’s allegedly happened than we ever do at the time it happens on the street. So you’re stood along the protest route and you’re made aware of an issue, and as you run over a whole crowd of people start yelling at you that someone is responsible for an assault. You start heading towards the alleged suspect, unaware of who they are and instead of talking to you they react angrily and you have to rely on the allegation given of an alleged assault to take control for the situation and prevent further disorder. Part of a necessity to arrest can be to protect someone, especially if you believe their behaviour is likely to cause them harm. Also bearing in mind these Cops aren’t from London, haven’t policed one of these protests before and truly don’t even know where they are. The person is then arrested for the alleged assault and force is used under S117 PACE because the person is under arrest and subsequently taken to the floor and placed in handcuffs to prevent them from escaping due to their behaviour at the time of arrest. Simultaneously a member of the public makes officers aware they haven’t been told the whole story. Being open and transparent the officers conduct a thorough primary investigation and realise that the man arrested is not the aggressor and is subsequently de-arrested immediately at the scene. Now all of this happens in under an hour, but like many things it’s been filmed from start to finish and those who have, have added their own narrative to what they’ve filmed. It’s truly a situation where we increasingly can’t win and most Cops have had enough of trying. The officers have made a lawful arrest in accordance with reasonable grounds to suspect an offence had been committed and once they had concluded an initial investigation establishing the grounds did not exist have de-arrested. De-arresting is a common occurrence, and is used on a daily basis all across the country. Thank you to our mutual aid colleagues for their assistance today. It’s truly greatly appreciated. #ThinBlueLine 🚨

Officers placed themselves at real risk of serious injury in order to prevent serious harm and to apprehend the offender. You can read more about what happened here ➡️news.met.police.uk/news/knife-wie…

A knife-wielding man has been jailed after a group of off-duty officers rushed to intervene as he attacked another man in #Southwark Shocking footage demonstrates "the heroism shown by these officers is nothing short of exceptional" as they separate the attacker from the victim.

Officers run towards danger and protect people. We ask the public to support us so we can keep everyone safe. Sometimes we need to use force - this video explains how and why. 📺 🔽 Watch the video

@10DowningStreet @theresa_may This is just total lies and delusional bunker mentality. You’ve cut 21,000 police officers, 24,000 police staff and closed 600 police stations. You demonised police over stop and search. You fail to send those caught with knives to prison. You own this. #KnifeCrimeEpidemic
