Is the jab at the medical centre?

Another typical police officer?

The Metropolitan Police has urged people to find a "lawful and safer way" to express their view on the issue.

Bedfordshire Police said the jury had "identified a number of significant failings by the police" for which it was "truly sorry", adding the force had made "extensive changes" since.

Emma Carter, secretary of Bedfordshire Police Federation, said she disagreed with the jury's conclusion that Mr Briggs was restrained in a dangerous way, and said officers "did their very best" to deal with "a very tragic incident".

Just your usual soundbites

Home Secretary Priti Patel has asked the Met[ropolitam Police] for a report on what happened,

Dame Cressida said she agreed on the need for a "sober review" and defended how officers responded to the "really big crowd".

The police use the justification that they were "just upholding the law of the land". The law(s) in question being the covid restrictions on mixing with people from another family. Those laws - necessarily drawn up in a hurry and without scrutiny - are notably dogmatic, and don't allow for any flexibility to adjust for different purposes and different locations.

Two St. Louis police officers were charged on Wednesday with the sexual assault of four women and a third officer was accused of tampering with a witness in the case, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

Officer Lafeal Lawshea, 38, was charged with two counts of forcible rape along with counts of forcible sodomy, sexual misconduct and tampering with a victim.

He is accused of raping two women in 2009 and then sexually assaulting a civilian police department employee in 2019.

Officer Torey Phelps, 38, was charged with one count of forcible rape, allegedly assaulting an incapacitated woman at Lawshea's home in 2010.

Charging documents state that Lawshea bought her a drink at a bar and was present for the assault. The woman reportedly asked him: "Are you going to let him do this to me?"

The third officer was charged for allegedly tampering with a witness in the case, the outlet reported.

Sgt. Jatonya Clayborn-Muldrew is accused of attempting to persuade one of the victims not to report the sexual assault against Lawshea. The sergeant also allegedly inquired into who was leading the internal affairs investigation.

Stunning claims are emerging that a criminal conspiracy is behind Australia’s worst theme park tragedy, which killed six children and a father.

It’s been more than 40 years since a dad and his two sons and four young school mates were burnt to death in the notorious 1979 Luna Park ghost train fire.

It is the deadliest tragedy at an Australian theme park, and was an unprecedented and unrepeated horror until four people lost their lives on Dreamworld’s Thunder River Rapids ride in 2016.

But when you compare the response following the two tragedies, the differences are stark.

In the latest episode of ABC’s Exposed, which is investigating how the deadly fire was allegedly arson, a group of horrified police officers and lawyers claim a criminal conspiracy was likely afoot when the inferno was quickly ruled an accident.

The last witness of the day was Genevieve Hansen, an off-duty firefighter, who said the officers prevented her from administering medical help that would have saved Mr Floyd's life. She was rebuked by the judge for her testy responses to defence questioning.
