(Picture: PA Wire)They were disturbing scenes at a moment of heightened tension — women being handcuffed and pinned to the ground by police during the vigil for Sarah Everard on Clapham Common on March 13 last year.
Only days earlier, Ms Everard, 33, had been kidnapped, raped and murdered by serving police officer Wayne Couzens in a crime that stunned our city and the nation before sparking protests about women’s safety.
