The scenes from Clapham Common are unacceptable. The police have a responsibility to enforce Covid laws but from images I've seen it's clear the response was at times neither appropriate nor proportionate. I'm contact with the Commissioner & urgently seeking an explanation.
@BorisJohnson This is a start but it’s not enough. Harassment and abuse will stop/dramatically reduce when men fear the consequences of their actions. Men need to be convicted more severely and the cases women report need to actually be taken seriously. That is the solution.

As if we needed any more confirmation, tonight's violent behavior by the police demonstrates they are not here to serve and protect women, they are here to uphold our patriarchal system. More police on the streets is not the answer. #ReclaimTheStreets#ReclaimTheseStreets
