Labour's Butler calls for action to ‘cut out cancerous’ institutional racism in policing after officers' car stop
Labour MP Dawn Butler
LABOUR MP Dawn Butler has accused the Metropolitan Police of racially profiling her after a car she was travelling in was stopped by officers over the weekend.
The former shadow equalities secretary revealed that the driver was pulled over by police in Hackney, east London, on Sunday.
Like her, the driver is black, though Ms Butler said that she has been forced to defend herself against “wild conspiracy theories” online, including that the driver is white.
