The mother said she and her son had been treated with contempt.
The mother of a 13-year-old child who was surrounded by armed police after an officer mistook his water pistol for a real gun has said she feels “betrayed” by the Metropolitan Police.
The mother of the boy, who has suffered from nightmares since the incident, said in the statement: “I feel let down and betrayed, not only by the police, but also by the IOPC, and by the whole system that is supposed to look after our children, black or white. Mr Jasper said there was increasing anecdotal evidence of “increasingly violent interactions between police and black children”.
And Dr Wanda Wyporska, chief executive of the Black Equity Organisation civil rights group, said the case was an “example of institutional racism”. “We know it may cause public concern and we want to help the public understand why we responded in the way we did.
