I know London has for a long time now had a problem with gangs and stabbings and of course shootings.
I’ve just seen a video on DP’s Facebook of two Met Police Officers running away from a crowd of people. One of them looks like he was pushed to the ground.
This is in relation to the George Floyd protests in London.
Now I understand people want to protest peacefully after such a terrible death but we are supposedly in a lockdown ( of sorts). But surely chasing down two police officers is unacceptable? They are just doing their job and want to go home to their families.
People are angry. But it wasn’t the Met that killed George Floyd.
Seriously, what has the country come to when Police Officers are running away from a mob in the centre of London?
I really think that the Police have lost control of London, and I wouldn’t think that many will be happy about Policing the capital when the risks are too high.
I think there will be a point when Police will be reluctant to do their job with fear of either getting sacked or worse getting killed.
Respect to any of you that work for the Met, you are being failed by your government and your employer.
