What Northumbria Police Didn't Want You to See (5 Years Later)
from Kelly Oliver Dougall · host Kelly Oliver Dougall
Five years ago today, events unfolded on the streets of Newcastle that permanently changed how I view policing and authority in the UK. While protests in London dominated national discussions, what happened right here in the North East went largely overlooked by mainstream media. In this video, I look back at the shocking footage from the August 2021 protests involving Northumbria Police, revisit the open letter sent by over 800 local mothers, and reflect on why this day still matters five years on. 0:00 - Introduction & The 5-Year Anniversary 01:50 - Asking Questions in Lockdown & First Protests 04:18 - My Experience on Northumberland Street 11:29 - 15th August 2021: The Footage 12:58 - The Police Dog Incident & Hospital Refusal 17:13 - Reviewing the Riot Police Footage 21:39 - Open Letter from 800+ North East Mothers 25:59 - The Ongoing Impact on Trust Did you know about what happened that day in Newcastle?
