WOMEN have defiantly organised protests after police attacked mourners at a vigil for Sarah Everard in south London on Saturday.
The Met Police’s handling of the candle-lit gathering on Clapham Common, where crowds paid tribute to the 33-year-old woman who was allegedly murdered by one of the force’s officers, has prompted an outpouring of condemnation and calls for Met commissioner Cressida Dick to resign.
Officers were seen dragging women away and kneeling on the back of a protester as they broke up the peaceful gathering.
The shocking scenes have fuelled wider concerns over police failures to protect women as well as galvanising opposition to the Tory government’s proposed Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill.
