Baroness Doreen Lawrence said she believes the force viewed them ‘through a lens of suspicion’ that was not only disrespectful but also dehumanizing.

The Met has apologised unreservedly, and says it has "fully accepted" that there were major failures in how the relevant team was managed.

Warning, there is some offensive language.
