Let’s talk about women’s safety, says mourner at heart of UK policing uproar
The outrage and sorrow felt over the death of Sarah Everard should be used to combat men's violence against women, not to debate the police's tactics at the vigil, according to one of the women arrested at the event. Everard, 33, was taken while walking home in south London on March 3, and a police officer has been charged with her kidnapping and murder, sparking a national discussion about how male violence against women is handled in Britain. However, the attention shifted to the Metropolitan Police in London after officers attempted to break up the vigil for Everard on Saturday, citing COVID-19 restrictions. There were scuffles with the mourners and some women were taken away in handcuffs.0
