Can you @sajidjavid assure everyone that despite being knocked out of leadership contest that you will use your position @ukhomeoffice to continue to advocate for the extra 20,000 #PoliceOfficers you have now realised are desperately needed?

Yes this incident ended badly for Mr Cole but the alternatives would probably have ended the same way, for him and endangered others. What would have happened in other countries, he'd have been shot. At le3ast with TASER he had a chance and got to medical assistance quicker.

@RiaChatter If she was a ‘victim’ here, why did her former organisation make a written apology to the officers and pay them a substantial sum to settle the civil claim made against it?

@policeconduct @PFEW_HQ Thank you for now updating your news article. Although I can't help but feel it's the minimum possible and through gritted teeth. A bit more detail would add lots of clarity and redress the emphasis you still place on the unsound early conviction.

Thanks for trying to put some perspective on this Gavin. With only 27 upheld out of 6317 complaints over 10 years, from teams that police confrontation on a daily basis I’d say that was reason to be proud of our Police Services! Another anti police non story from the Guardian.

'Revealed: fewer than 1 in 200 complaints against Met unit upheld' No accountability? A fundamental disconnect between public perceptions & law/practice? The TSG undertake some of the more confrontational roles so not a surprise they attract complaints.

You say you've established "the officers MAY have breached Police professional standards and MAY amount to gross misconduct"? They MAY also have acted completely professionally! So why phrase it like this? Plays into hands of our detractors, adds to officer mistrust. @PFEW_HQ

I've repeated the chart, looking at #Taser use on white males and then black males. The similiarities really are v striking, reinforcing the sense that while black males are over-represented in the data (as in all police data), the profile of #useofforce is v similar indeed. 4/

The right outcome, but such a shame that it has had to wait for a court to kick this out and some common sense to prevail. If you assault officers and resist arrest, what do you expect?

@EGoldLdn @_GeorgeRoberts 2/. Just because someone dies does not mean any officer or staff member has done something wrong. What it means is that the circumstances will be looked into independently. All the circs are considered and gone through under a microscope often in freeze frame over years.
