He fucked up by apologising in the first place

    There is an established process he could have used to raise those issues directly with the commissioner. However he decided he wanted internet points more. This doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in someone who hopes to run the government some day.

    Nah, the "established process" is exactly what the police want you to use so the issue can be sandbagged for 30 years and the officers involved can slyly retire and never face any repercussions, and since it would've taken so long any reforms proposed can be dismissed as out of date. Calling out the police violently kicking someone in the head is exactly what we need our politicians doing.

    I imagine that his future public appearances will be disrupted by groups of Labour activists and antideutschoid weirdos shouting him down and demanding he resign.
