THE degree of police brutality seen in the killing of George Floyd in the the United States could be seen in Britain, the nation’s first black chief constable has warned.

People being stopped and searched by police are not being treated with “due courtesy and respect” and they can feel “alienated and humiliated,” former Kent chief constable Michael Fuller told the Guardian today.

Mr Fuller said that there is no evidence to prove that stop-and-search is effective in tackling crime, pointing out that 80 per cent of those stopped are innocent.
