Chief constable admits BAME community ‘frustrated, angry and upset by our policing response’
Northern Ireland’s most senior police officer has apologised over the handling of Black Lives Matter protests in Belfast and Derry during the pandemic lockdown earlier this year.
The chief constable, Simon Byrne, issued the apology on Tuesday after a report for the police ombudsman in the region found the policing of the rallies in the two cities was unfair and discriminatory.
