A fundraiser for two Met police officers who were sacked for their involvement in the stop and search of black athletes Bianca Williams and Ricardo dos Santos has topped £40,000.
PCs Jonathan Clapham and Sam Franks were sacked without notice on Thursday after being found to have been untruthful about the smell of cannabis at the time of the stop on July 4 2020. The couple said the stop showed the police were racist.A police misconduct panel found PCs Clapham and Franks in breach of professional standards around honesty & integrity and they were both dismissed from the force.
The IOPC's case relied on wider documents and reports that indicated black people are "much more likely" to be stopped and searched in London more generally, and that black people are "routinely treated" with "more suspicion and hostility" by police officers and "stereotyped as criminal".Mr Dos Santos told the panel while giving evidence that he had been "afraid" for the safety of his partner and his son.
