A parliamentary report concluded that the police appropriately handled the riots following the tragic murder of three girls in Southport, rejecting claims of two-tier policing. The report highlighted the violent actions of individuals during the riots against police and public property, emphasizing that the police response was a necessary reaction to organized disorder, not influenced by any perceived political views of the participants. The report also stressed that the allegations undermined the efforts and safety of police officers in handling the crisis.
The claims of two-tier policing during the riots were found to be baseless by the parliamentary report, emphasizing the appropriateness of the police response to serious criminal actions.
Committee chair Dame Karen Bradley condemned any implied equivalence between organised disorder and planned non-violent protests, stating that robust police response was justified.
