Two Met officers who strip-searched school girl removed from frontline duties
The Guardian says two of the five officers who were involved in the traumatic strip search of a 15-year-old black girl in her school in Hackney, London, have been removed from frontline duties, the Metropolitan police has confirmed.
The admission came at a community meeting on Wednesday evening as anger over the treatment of the girl, known as Child Q, continues. The meeting was originally supposed to take place in person but had to be moved online after the police force could not find a venue. More than 250 people attended, with more wanting to but unable to join because of the meeting’s limit.
Tensions were high on the call with many frustrated and angry attenders saying that the force was institutionally racist, and that they had not addressed the issue face on.
