Please see our latest statement here: orlo.uk/IjjrF

Investigation launched to identify people following Birmingham city centre assault

We are carrying out an investigation to identify people involved in an assault in Birmingham city centre.

Community note
This Statement implies that they only knew about the assault because of the video rather than their own police actively being on the scene choosing to arrest the victim rather than the aggressors. It also highlights that they are still choosing to punish the victim. westmidlands.police.uk/news/west-midl…

The incident has been reviewed, and we have no concerns over the officer's actions and we are satisfied that they were reasonable and proportionate in the circumstances. We would ask that footage is not further shared to allow the legal process to take its course.
Community note
The footage in question disproves the Police’s account of the incident. It is in the public interest for it to shared far and wide to ensure a just outcome for the male who has been arrested, and aid him with any civil action he may wish to take against the Police. x.com/re_mi_gra_tion…
