West Midlands Police have launched an investigation after allegations | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
that officers used excessive force and misused their batons | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
after Wolves' home match against Birmingham City on Friday. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
A former policeman, who was at the game, | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
says what he witnessed shouldn't have happened. | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
But the force has defended its tactics, saying the trouble | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
was in danger of getting out of hand. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
The command "show of strength" has just been issued - | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
police officers are raining down on football fans in a walk | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
The clashes were filmed by this retired police chief inspector, | :00:37. | :00:48. | |
someone who used to train the police in the use of force. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
He says West Midlands police overreacted. | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
There did not appear to me to be a confrontation, | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
The threat level that you would need to justify | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
hitting someone over the | :01:03. | :01:03. | |
head with a baton is a very high threat level. | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
My perception is that threat level was not there. | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
He says the fans there were largely Blues supporters in good spirits, | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
But the police say the trouble was between rival fans. | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
West Midlands Police have described the flashpoint | :01:21. | :01:21. | |
Officers had issued warnings, they say, to no avail. | :01:22. | :01:36. | |
To prevent further clashes, they used | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
"appropriate and proportionate force." | :01:40. | :01:40. | |
Somebody could have died from being struck on the | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
For not walking quickly enough to a railway station? | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
That seems to me like a really extreme overreaction. | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
Eight Birmingham City supporters and five Wolves | :01:54. | :01:54. | |
Sarah Bishop, BBC Midlands Today in Wolverhampton. | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
The Labour MP for Wolverhampton South West Rob Marris has | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
criticised his former parliamentary colleague Tristram Hunt. | :02:05. | :02:05. | |
Speaking on Sunday Politics, Mr Marris said that Tristram Hunt, | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
whose resignation as an MP triggered last week's Stoke Central | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
by-election, had acted in a self-centred manner. | :02:13. | :02:21. | |
The result in Stoke was uplifting for me. | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
I think we need to put them in the context. | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
The context is the political scene in this country is | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
very volatile at the moment, and in the context that two | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
self-centred MPs resigned early and the electorate, | :02:37. | :02:37. | |
More than 200 people took part in a charity | :02:38. | :02:48. | |
walk today in support of a Shropshire paramedic. | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
Melissa Jago fell down her stairs last | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
September and suffered critical brain injuries. | :02:53. | :02:53. | |
She's currently undergoing intensive therapy to learn | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
Friends turned out in Whitchurch today to help raise ten-thousand | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
We think she probably slipped from the top of the stairs | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
but we do not know and we will never know exactly | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
It is just horrendous that falling down your | :03:09. | :03:19. | |
stairs at home can cause such life changing injuries. | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
We would like to, as part of the campaign, raise | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
The Coventry Bees have been thrown out of the speedway's Elite League | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
The British Speedway Promoters Association have suspended the Bees' | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
license because of uncertainties about whether the team will be able | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
The Bees are currently without a home track. | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
The sport's governing body has also expressed doubts about the financial | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
Stoke City have suffered a heavy defeat at Tottenham | :03:42. | :03:51. | |
Stoke were over-run in the first-half, | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
Three of them were scored by Harry Kane who then | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
set-up his team's fourth goal for Delly Alli. | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
Stoke supporters saw an improvement in the second half but it finished | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
A bit of snow on the cards. That is turning colder and spring is just | :04:07. | :04:20. | |
around the corner. Time for the forecast. | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
It certainly was a pleasant start to the day today. | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
We had glorious scenes but that was as | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
We had some strong gusts of wind through the day today. | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
For tonight, we are seeing the skies are clearing for a time. | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
Not long before we get the next area of rain working in its way | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
It's a chilly night with temperatures dipping | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
We start the day tomorrow with showers rippling | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
Some will be heavy and they are their time | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
A touch wintry as well with some hail and thunder in there as well. | :04:58. | :05:03. |
