Police chiefs pulled armed officers AWAY from Downing Street at the height of violent Black Lives Matter protests to appease hostile mob that left dozens of cops injured

The extraordinary decision, exposed by The Mail on Sunday today, came as an anti-racist rally in Whitehall turned ugly in 2020.



During violent Black Lives Matter protests in June 2020, police chiefs allegedly pulled armed officers away from Downing Street, fearing activists might seize their weapons. This decision, which coincided with unrest after George Floyd's murder and easing COVID restrictions, left dozens of officers injured and drew accusations of "two-tier policing" and appeasement of a hostile mob. A policewoman injured during the clashes is now suing Scotland Yard.
