TL;DR

Polanski apologises for sharing post criticising police Zack Polanski has apologised for sharing a social media post condemning the actions of police officers who arrested the suspect in the Golders Green attack. The Green Party leader had reposted a message on X accusing officers of "repeatedly and violently kicking a mentally ill man in the head when he was already incapacitated by Taser." The decision to share the post had prompted criticism, including from Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley. In a statement on Friday, Polanski apologised "sharing a tweet in haste," adding that social media was "not the appropriate channel" for commenting on police actions.
