It was the woman's behaviour that was upsetting her child, not the police. Tactic used by shoplifters when caught; saw it recently in Tesco; all shouting stopped when the manager arrived and recognised her as a known shoplifter with previous.

It was truly shocking

Saw it too, awful, particularly the way they were manhandling the poor woman, appalling shock as if their image isn't bad enough already!

Am so upset and outraged that a mother was arrested with her young son by Met Police as having not paid bus fare…Mother had paid bus fare .. am physically disgusted with MET police
They have traumatised this young boy and CANNOT understand these charges..

I’ve never had any illusions regarding the MET police.
I’ve seen and heard ( including my own family) too many incidents of uncalled for behaviour by them.
