A senior Met officer blasted what he called a 'trial by social media' which followed after the Labour MP posted footage of her stop online.

Police officers who stopped a car carryingSir Steve House insisted the stop was due to a mistake in the officers’ number plate-checking procedure and that the car’s tinted windows meant they had no idea who it was carrying.

Speaking on This Morning on Tuesday, the Brent Central MP said: ‘There are pockets of problems, but to create an environment where if you are black, you are assumed to be a criminal is not good for anybody or our country. In a statement issued on Wednesday, Sir Steve said: ‘The officers were not initially aware of this problem and as a result felt, with good reason, that they should do further checks on the car by stopping it and engaging with the occupants.

So it’s ok the the police to put out BS unofficially on social media like driving on the wrong side of the road which cctv showed wasn’t true, but when they have nothing to fire back with it’s “trial by social media” all of a sudden.

Should be sacked, shouldn't act like this in her position disrespect

Surprised that the senior Met office had the balls to say that in this climate. He is correct in saying that it’s easy to judge via Social Media

virtue signalling..

How obvious does race baiting have to get before we do something about it? especially from a gov official this is disgusting behaviour. She should really resign! Just the way she was talking to the officer is so clear she was baiting and was very unethical in her approach

Absolute codswallop!

How could he look at the rear tints then you sit in your car behind a car with heavy tinted glass and tell me you can see what colour they are or even what sex they are you cant well done officer you acted in a great and polite way

She needs to resign. Disgusting behaviour
