The Metropolitan Police have apologised and paid tens of thousands of pounds in damages and costs to two young black men who were stopped and searched after officers saw them bump fists in the street and wrongly suspected them of dealing drugs.

..the Met declared that brothers Dijon and Liam Joseph, 33 and 31, were blameless for their ordeal four years ago.."
