media captionKevin Clarke inquest: Body-cam footage of restraint released
The Met has apologised to the family of a mentally ill black man who died in custody, after one of the officers involved was cleared of misconduct.
Kevin Clarke, 35, was suffering from an acute behavioural disturbance when he was restrained by up to nine officers in Lewisham in 2018.
The force broke regulations by holding misconduct proceedings without telling his family or the police watchdog.
Cdr Bas Javid apologised and said it had been an administrative error.
In an interview for the BBC s Panorama programme, Cdr Javid admitted that the force still had an issue with racial discrimination, bias and prejudice .
