Met officers ‘committed gross misconduct' in strip-searching black girl at school
Two Metropolitan police officers who were involved in the strip search of a black teenager at her school have been found to have committed gross misconduct. The search was 'disproportionate, inappropriate and unnecessary' and made Child Q feel degraded and humiliated, a panel found at the end of a four-week misconduct hearing. However the panel found that race was not a factor in the police officers' decisions to subject the teenager to the search, and nor was she treated as an adult. A third police officer who was involved in the strip search in December 2020 was found to have committed a lesser offence of misconduct. More details soon …

Hilarious moment bumbling cops struggle to break down door as mocking neighbours shout ‘go on… knock it!'
POLICE officers were ridiculed by onlookers as they feebly attempted to break down a door. Despite multiple efforts, the officers appeared to be unable to break down a front door. 3 3 Bobbies from West Yorkshire have been left humiliated as footage emerged of them failing to force their way into a house. Onlookers couldn't hide their amusement at the officers ' inability to break down the front door. One chuckling onlooker teased them, taunting: "Bit Harder!" "Go on, hit it!" They then mocked the fumbling officers with a killer line: "Call yourself a police force? "There's no force in ya!" Two officers can be seen repeatedly attempting to barge down the door. Even while using a handheld ram and a hooligan bar they are unable able to enter the house. Two other visible cops can be seen standing idly by as their colleagues floundered at the house's entrance. The door does appear to have suffered some damage, as there is a significant dent is visible on its left side, as well as fractures to its top, glass window. Yet it remained upright and intact. Many seeing the social media video online were quick to mock the officers' fruitless efforts. Another said they, "Couldn't open an advent calendar door." One comment even appears onscreen at the end of the video saying: "Rumour has it they're still trying." Some people saw a darker side to the video, believing it showed a decline in British policing standards. "Police are losing respect, it's what it's come to. So sad," commented one viewer. A different TikTok user said: "It's a shame because I have respect for the police. "But currently the state of this country is a joke. In a twist, one user, claiming to be a former Method of Entry instructor, even seemed to spot why the police were having such little success. He said: "Use the other end of hooligan bar i.e. the wedge knocked into the door gap. "Then pull on the bar and the door (usually) opens." 3

Delta Goodrem hits back at US actor who ‘completely humiliated' her with viral dancing video
Delta Goodrem has opened up about the moment she went viral after a US actor 'completely humiliated' her by calling out her 'unrhythmic' dancing abilities on social media. The Aussie singer, who was 30 at the time, was attending Beyoncé and husband Jay Z's On The Run tour at Pasadena's Rose Bowl Stadium in LA in August 2014, where she was sat nearby White Chicks star Marlon Wayans. As she danced away at the gig with close friend and Aussie TV personality Renee Bargh, Goodrem had no clue the actor had been filming her on his phone to later post to his followers on Instagram. 'Man I got the most UNRHYTHMIC WHITE WOMAN dancing next to me at the jay and bay concert... This b***h dancing to AC/DC,' he would later caption the video. Speaking on The Life of Bryony podcast this week, Goodrem said she only found out about the video when she woke up the next day to many alerts on her phone. 'I look at my phone and I just start scrolling and scrolling. I'm like, 'What the?'' she recalled. 'It's never ending and I'm like, 'What's happened?' and I start getting scared. Something's happened and I don't know what's happened.' The Aussie singer said an email from her mum and a quick Google search clued her in on the video and the 'derogatory comments' Wayans had made about her. 'At this point, my heart was just like... I was just destroyed,' she nervously laughed. 'And then I see just all of this vitriol of this moment.' 'I didn't cope well when I first saw it in the morning. I was pretty upset. I was crying and I was just extremely [clutches chest], just because it had been a pile-on... I was just dancing in my chair!' After the tears dried, Goodrem said she was done wallowing and began to workshop ways to recover. And because she's not a 'woe is me kind of person', she decided to find the funny out of the situation. 'I was like, 'OK, let me take this on.' And I love Seinfeld so I thought I'm going to [post] the clip of Elaine and put up that I had a blast last night.' The video posted to Twitter was from an iconic scene in the sitcom where Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is told her dancing 'stinks' by her quirky mate Kramer (Michael Richards), but she continues to dance anyway. After posting the clip, Goodrem instantly felt 'the air went out straight away and the positivity flipped' online. Now, 11 years later, she believes the moment actually changed her for the better. 'There's always been that little bit in me that was a little bit shy to dance,' she shared. 'That freedom that that moment gave me, it's like if someone keeps pressing on a certain point where they're like, 'You can't dance.' And you're like, 'You know what? Awesome.'' 'Now I could dance in the street, I could dance right here. I could show you all my dance moves. I have no fear when it comes to dancing. 'All because I'd been completely humiliated. Thank you, now I can do an entire dance routine in my shows. I love it. I am ready to go!' For his part, Wayans refused to apologise when fans called him out for shaming Goodrem. 'Ok so let me start by saying suck it long, hard and til y'all mouths hurt to all these sensitive a** people,' he tweeted at the time. 'Secondly, I ain't apologising for a joke… I love that all these people calling me racist cuz I stated a fact. She can't dance. Apparently neither can u. Now f**k outta here,' he continued. 'One day people are gonna understand... I simply don't give f**k. And I refuse to succumb to this new world order if not having an opinion. All comedians, say what u say and let it be said. Never say sorry for a fact, just say f**k off. Be you, be true.'

Pregnant woman claims she was 'humiliated' after wetting herself when supermarket refused her access to the toilet - but people say SHE'S 'entitled'
A pregnant mother who claims she wet herself after being refused use of a supermarket toilet has been branded 'entitled'. The heavily pregnant mother-of-two, believed to be from the UK, was so desperate that she ended up losing control of her bladder and 'completely soiling' herself in the shop, leaving her 'humiliated'. Deeply embarrassed by the incident, the expectant mother took to parenting forum Mumsnet to share her frustration - but she didn't find much sympathy. Instead, many insisted it was supermarket 'policy' to refuse access to staff loos, and one particularly harsh critic told her to try 'adult nappies'. Describing the ordeal on a forum titled 'Am I Being Unreasonable', the poster began: 'I'm imminently due my third baby and have a massive bump'. While out on the school run, she suddenly found herself 'desperate for the loo' and so popped into her local convenience supermarket in the hope of being able to use the store's toilet. 'My pelvic floor is pretty shot from previous two kids, the baby had dropped during the school run walk so I was feeling like I could not wait,' she explained. Seeing that the shop was 'empty bar a couple of pensioners', she was confident that in asking to use the staff loo, she would readily be granted permission. 'I asked if I could use the staff loo as I was desperate. There are no other loos nearby and I was unlikely to make it the half a mile home in time,' she said. But her request was quickly turned down by a member of staff, who explained that it was 'against policy' for customers to have access to employee facilities. Unprepared to be turned down and unable to wait until the journey home, the mother ended up losing control of her bladder. 'I soiled myself before I even made it the front door of the shop,' she admitted. She described the accident as 'completely humiliating', and was left making her journey home in soiled clothing. The mother was adamant that the incident was the fault of supermarket staff and concluded that it 'could have been avoided if a little kindness shown'. 'Am I being unreasonable to expect some flexibility in branch policy to accommodate for those in need?', she asked the forum. However, much to her dismay, few commenters shared the view that it was the fault of the supermarket staff, with several arguing that it was 'standard everywhere' for staff loos to be off limits - even to those with disabilities. However, much to her dismay, few commenters shared the view that it was the fault of the supermarket staff, with several arguing that it was 'standard everywhere' for staff loos to be off limits - even to those with disabilities An unsympathetic reader said: 'Wear those nappies for adults. Kindness has nothing to do with it - they can't lose their job for you.' One wrote: 'Lots of stores have this policy, I'm on water tablets and even have a card to confirm the urgency but I wouldn't expect them to bend the rules to me. Unfortunately, you need to plan better.' 'Even if you have a toilet urgency card/disability radar key most shops wouldn't allow you to use the staff toilet for insurance and liability purposes. This is standard everywhere,' a second pointed out. A third said 'it would be nice if we could use any toilet we needed if desperate' but said that most won't allow it according to 'insurance' policies. 'The problem is that you'll probably have to go through the stock room, maybe staff room etc. there might be the staff member's phones/ purses in the area,' said another. Though they offered some sympathy, describing their own experience of needing 'to wee probably every 45 mins to an hour'. 'You just have to plan where you're going. I did wee in a lot of bushes over those months,' they wrote. 'Return home and go back out. I'm not being funny, you are pregnant not disabled,' fumed another. One harsh critic insisted she was 'entitled' and said it was her own responsibility to prepare for the worst. 'The onus is on you to make sure you don't wet yourself. Your attitude is entitled. 'You take precautions such as emptying your bladder before you go out on a short trip or you wear those Tena pads if you think you may spring a leak.'
