Suella Braverman has launched a review into police impartiality as she accused officers of "taking a political stance" on social issues.The Home Secretary slammed some police officers for taking a 'stance' on social issues concerning race and gender, saying it had "eroded" public trust.
Ms Braverman listed a number of social causes she says some police officers have taken a side in, which included taking the knee during Black Lives Matter protests and "enforcing non-existent blasphemy laws". "The British people expect their police to focus on cutting crime and protecting communities - political activism does not keep people safe, solve crimes or support victims, but can damage public confidence," Ms Braverman said.
"The review I've commissioned will explore whether the police getting involved in politically contentious matters is having a detrimental impact on policing."
