And this case is to be reinvestigated after the rape victim won a libel case after being sued by the man she named as the alleged rapist:

Regarding the documents, I'm not surprised that some were in a locked filing cabinet. I once worked somewhere where loads of documents were shunted to off-site storage or old warehousing behind the main plant and some boxes were just full of crap that the company had paid to store for 20+ years.

So I can conceive that somebody put some important documents in a filing cabinet, then retired or changed jobs and nobody bothered to check the filing cabinets afterwards. Eventually some new person comes along, breaks into the locked cabinet and goes 'oh fuck, these are related to Daniel Morgan'.

As part of an inquiry into the death of Sheku Bayoh, who died after being restrained by six police officers in 2015, a pathologist has said that the restraint cannot be excluded as having had a role in Mr Bayoh's death.

Marking eight years since Mr Bayoh had died, inquiry chairman Lord Bracadale prefaced the sitting with a message that members of the public could find the evidence to be distressing.

Dr [Kerryanne] Shearer told the inquiry she incorporated information about the use of handcuffs and restraint into her examination, which found Mr Bayoh had around eight small "dot" haemorrhages in his eyes, consistent with injuries that may have related either to positional asphyxia or being resuscitated.

She said Mr Bayoh's breathing could have been potentially impeded by officers restraining him, without having to put weight on him.

[Dr Shearer said] "In this case there was no clear cause of death at the time of the postmortem, hence why it is unascertained pending investigation."

The inquiry continues.

Two Met officers sacked for using excessive force against a 14-year old and then lying about it.

Two Met Police officers sacked for kicking and punching 14-year-old Black boy

The IOPC passed a file to the Crown Prosecution Service, who decided not to authorise charges against the officers

www.voice-online.co.uk

The boy was detained on Wilberforce Road.

He was placed in handcuffs and arrested for the assault on an emergency worker and a public order offence.

The boy was not charged and no further action was taken.

During the arrest force was used on the boy, which the IOPC investigated to see if it was necessary and proportionate.

PC Zalesskiy punched him at least once and PC Ryan kicked him in the neck/head area and struck him in the thigh with his knee.

A Met officer has been cleared of GBH after he caused a man to be paralysed:

Met Police officer who left man paralysed not guilty of GBH

PC Imran Mahmood used a Taser on Jordan Walker-Brown, who broke his back and now uses a wheelchair.

www.bbc.co.uk

I mean, what the actual fuck? A man suffers life-changing injuries but the person who caused the injuries gets off?

 

[equationgirl]

He might not even face disciplinary action. Also, why was this man stopped and tasered?

He was walking down the street (whilst black), wearing a bumbag that 'might have contained drugs' plus 'it was feared he had a knife'. Not that he actually had drugs and/or a knife. Just that he might have.

The institutional racism is strong with this one.

Here follows a tweet with a video that I’ll put in spoilers as it shows them shooting one of the dogs point blank range from behind with a shotgun. The other dog has already been shot and its companion runs in a blind panic to its owner, who is in the process of being Tasered.

Absolutely disgraceful decision. If I understand it correctly, the victim was unarmed, made no gesture or threat towards the police and was tasered while at an elevated height. Seriously WTF!
