She's said police should be mindful of how they speak to people on a council estate where they're 'not particularly liked'
An angry Leeds resident has slammed West Yorkshire Police after she saw pandemonium unravel on her street as officers clashed with the locals, appearing to douse them in PVA spray.
Footage of the chaotic scenes, which saw officers and locals facing off with each other en masse, has been circulating on social media. As battlegrounds were drawn, the mob of residents can be heard hurling abuse at the cops. Kirsty said: “I don’t feel like the police helped it, I feel like they should have tried to deescalate the situation. I think they’ve come into the middle of a council estate where they’re not particularly liked and then they’ve carried on with people which is only going to heighten the situation, especially when the whole street came out.”
“I live on a council estate, I’m used to it. It’s not a nice thing to see. Some of them are trying to do a job but then some of them are just aggravating people when they should have tried to deescalate it. I think they need to be mindful of how they speak to people, they shouldn’t be screaming and shouting at people like that.”
"Other officers attended the area to support their colleagues and three officers received minor injuries in the disorder which followed.
