Letter: In Brief
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: The Police Complaints Authority notes with irony Mr Colin Cridland's letter (4 February) questioning whether public complaints against the police lead to any disciplinary action. Mr Cridland may be reassured by our press announcement the day before that a Metropolitan Police officer will face a charge of racially discriminatory behaviour following an incident in south London. If, following complaint, the investigation produces evidence to support disciplinary charges, then it will be the policy of this Authority to ensure that appropriate charges will be preferred.
