Bianca Williams

[Oblomov23]

Is there a Bianca Williams thread? The police are refusing to admit misconduct by the officers that arrested her and her partner, despite the video that many have seen. Cressida Dick apologised to her. But the police have closed ranks per usual and refuse to admit any misconduct? Hearing atm.

There does not appear to be a thread, but I would suggest this belongs in News rather than Legal matters.

[Oblomov23]

Ok. Thanks prh. Will ask mnhq to move it.

2 police officers have been sacked for lying. Good. But he writes that he is traumatised by harassment online. This is all so sad.

[Bloom15]

Absolutely awful that they were treated this way. The Met is so racist

[megletthesecond]

I'm relieved Bianca and Ricardo saw justice. Absolutely shocking behaviour from those officers.

[Oblomov23]

He said he doubted that the Met – which had resisted the hearing – could radically reform: “Talk is cheap; I don’t believe it is going to happen any time soon.”
The police leadership had backed all the officers after the incident became public,

So, it goes higher than just these officers. Why aren't Leadership being reprimanded?

The whole thing stinks. Can't believe this isn't getting more coverage? Have you seen the video? Cressida Dick apologised to them. But they all closed ranks and tried to stop this hearing from happening.

Another day, another Met scandal. I don't see how anything will ever change at this rate.

I saw on BBC there’s a fund, can’t remember if it’s Go Fund Me or another, to support the officers who were sacked. Up to 50K.

[crimsonfleet]

I know a couple of people who work for the met and according to them thr general consensus among the officers they know is that these two officers did nothing wrong. It's depressing.

[Oblomov23]

@AdoraBell, I saw the fund for the 2 sacked police officers. Wow, I thought! No fund for the other couple and their son though?

[PastorCarrBonarra]

Fund is up to £130k nearly.

The GFM shows what a shit show this country is, thousands of people happy to support racists.

[Oblomov23]

This is the gift that just keeps on giving isn't it? Disgusting. I guess the only good thing is that it's making headlines, getting more coverage?

Well said, I completely agree with you.

[romatheroamer]

I heard her on the radio. Not only is there the crowd funding but she is being trolled now because the police officers were sacked. Who are these people ? Do they think the couple set the whole thing up...it's crazy?

Strange twist

@AlecTrevelyan006 she wasn't the one driving the car when it was stopped by the police so why are you digging dirt?

[AnnaMagnani]

Possibly because it turns out she may have been more prone to being stopped as she already had 11 points on her licence!

And her car was involved in another offence and she continually refused to say who was driving it.
