Met Police chief rightly attacks Polanski over 'armchair' criticism of terror arrest - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"Sir Mark Rowley stated that Mr Polanski's reposting of allegations on social media amounted to an inaccurate portrayal of events and risked undermining officers who had been forced to act in a fast-moving and dangerous situation."
"Body-worn camera footage released by the Met shows officers confronting the suspect and ordering him to drop what appears to be a knife, before deploying a Taser when he failed to comply."
"The officers had arrived within minutes and acted in accordance with their training in what he described as a highly volatile and dangerous situation."
The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police criticized Green Party leader Zack Polanski for sharing misleading claims about police conduct during a suspect's arrest after a stabbing in Golders Green. Sir Mark Rowley emphasized that officers acted appropriately in a dangerous situation, confronting a violent individual. Body-worn camera footage showed officers ordering the suspect to drop a knife and using a Taser when he did not comply. The swift police response led to the suspect's arrest on suspicion of attempted murder, while the victims were hospitalized in stable condition.
