Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Somewhere between anger and disbelief

The clip attached shows two men trying to break into our building. IT'S THE POLICE!!!. They demanded entry from the people there for a class on the grounds that "We're the police, we'll shut you down if you don't let us in" NO other reason given! Understandably unimpressed and more than slightly intimidated, our people locked themselves in. The police then took our ladder to scale the fence and as they disappear round the corner at the end of the clip, they tried to use an iron bar to lever the shutter open. The majority of people at the building were black men. Don't think this was a coincindence. When, after a frantic phone
call, I arrived the police disappeared.

Anne, can't really tell from the short video clip but, they don't look like police!

This is awful and so strange. Are you going to try and find out what happened? and maybe complain?

Hi - you need to make a complaint to the Chief Inpector of Operations at Haringey Police. (Just showed your post to a police officer who gave the advice)
