Alternative view. She is chair of Lambeth Independent police Advisory Group, not The Police Advisory Group as could be inferred from India Willoughby's tweet. Then you look who India has got the video from and it's from a Trump apologist alt right commentator who is on Sirius XM Patriot, the true voice of conservative talk radio as they brand themselves, who also have shows by Brietbart news and Sean Hannity. Also if you look on comments on the 9 minute youtube clip of the full interview, yes people are angry but hardly anyone comments on this small excerpt or gets triggered by her comments about Churchill.

Another way of looking at what she said could be that she is just saying she can't offer a comment on if he is racist or not as she personally hasn't met him. Not that she thinks he is still alive. I do take on board that she may think that Churchill is still alive. But she may also have just not her point across very well and has been taken advantage of by an Trump supporting alt right commentator, who may or may not have a vested interest in taking 20 seconds from a 9 minute piece to make a black women look stupid. Who can say. But if so, who can blame black people for marching, getting angry and tearing down statues.

Her words imply he’s still alive by saying “he is” not “he was”.
She isn’t being made to look stupid, she is stupid.

She was interviewed by Channel 4. You can see more of it here

including the bit where she admits that history isn't her strong point.

Far right hatchet job? No, own goal, pure and simple.

The way I see it is what happened to George Floyd was horrendous, the policeman will be punished. But if George Floyd didn’t engage in a criminal lifestyle he wouldn’t have even been in that situation.

Where were the marches and protests for David Dorn, the 77year old retired police officer who was shot and killed by a looter?

Unfortunately, with a bit of help from the media, and I'm disturbed to say, police deference to the BLM activists, the chance of a balanced exchange of views has gone out the window. I found it especially worrying that police were encouraged to 'take the knee' and shied away from arresting BLM thugs among demonstrators yet were very quick to exchange blows with other, perceived 'white' demonstrators.

At this time BOTH groups' demonstrations were illegal and differential treatment under the law will merely perpetrate even more lawless and extreme behaviour.

There was a guy on Good Morning Britain this morning, who was a double Amputee, poss an ex serviceman.
he summed it up quite well, the big issues are being missed by focussing on statues and old TV programs

Do you have any proof of this alleged Police behaviour?
