The allegation that officers made monkey noises is portrayed as an absolute fact. And yet the sources for this allegation appear either weak, second hand, or non existent. The claim seems to be that this was captured on CCTV, however the sources do not take you to the CCTV or to any audio at all. A Google search for this CCTV also fails to find any video/audio of officers making monkey noises.
Given the officers were cleared in this case, it seems quite likely that there was contention over these so-called monkey noises. While the officers might well seem negligent in the custody CCTV (the shorter video available online), they do not sound like vindictive racists. I therefore strongly feel that the claim they made racist noises needs some stronger evidence, especially in today's climate when allegations of racism (particularly racism against police officers) are simply believed without any impartial investigation into facts. 51.9.112.91 (talk) 07:29, 30 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
