More and more depressed every day as more and more footage of stop & searches emerges... A year or so ago, as govt told police to start doing S&S again, I warned it would go horribly wrong if great care wasn& #39;t taken to ensure detailed training of officers FIRST...After ten years>

>of much reduced S&S we have a generation of officers on the streets with very, very limited experience in the (complex and difficult) skills needed to do them both effectively AND with minimal upset to those stopped... I feared we would find ourselves stepping straight back >

>to the days of high numbers of S&S and high levels of complaint... Not for the first time, I find my concerns proved right... WHY do senior officers not listen to those of us who know?... This was an opportunity to change things... They& #39;ve squandered it... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☹️" title="Stirnrunzelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Stirnrunzelndes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☹️" title="Stirnrunzelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Stirnrunzelndes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☹️" title="Stirnrunzelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Stirnrunzelndes Gesicht">
