The Daily T

Have we lost respect for the police?

In a piece for today's Telegraph, the home secretary Yvette Cooper claims that Britain needs to rebuild respect between communities and the police in the wake of last week's rioting. Has the public actually lost respect for the police? And how do we go about restoring it? Kamal Ahmed and Tim Stanley talk to David Spencer, former Detective Chief Inspector at the Met Police, about why relations have turned this sour and how those bridges can begin to be rebuilt. And with the Olympics coming to a spectacular close in Paris last night, chief sports writer Olly Brown is on the line from France to talk boxing, breakdancing and Tom Cruise as we look back over seventeen days of incredible action and ask if Seb Coe will be the next leader of the IOC.
