In defence of the police: maligned by the left for anti-black bias and the right for anti-white bias - all while putting their bodies on the line to protect the public. Here’s the truth: the vast majority do a great job in invidious circumstances

#INVESTIGATION | We're investigating after a Birmingham City player was racially abused during today's game at The Hawthorns.
We’ll be looking at CCTV and working with both clubs to identify who was responsible, and offer support to the player.
We do not tolerate racist abuse.
