PC Jonathan Broadhead and a colleague were sent to the child's address after her mother had told her that her daughter had assaulted her with gardening tools and a hammer, according to the panel. However, having had the front door patiently opened by the child's mother, PC Broadhead burstled into the house before tasering the 5ft tall girl and tagging her twice as she walked up the stairs within ten seconds of him stepping into the house. The child's shocked' mother, both of whom are black, told a misconduct commission that she never would have called the police if she had known what would have happened to her daughter. After being unable to communicate with her daughter, she was 'frightened,' according to Robert Morris, who represented PC Broadhead, after she took her phone from her mother. The mother admitted that she was worried that the child's behavior had been affected by the cannabis-infused sweets she had eaten - more commonly known as 'edibles,' but that she had not warned police this prior to her daughter's being arrested.

The highly awaited live-action prequel to 2019's "The Lion King" remake has earned a title and a tentative release year. Several buzzy highlights were present at this year's D23 show, one of which was an update on "The Lion King" prequel, which was originally announced in 2020 with Oscar-winning filmmaker Barry Jenkins ("Moonlight" and "If Beale Street Could Talk") attached as its director. Jenkins revealed the official name of his prequel film on September 10th, alongside a rare peek video, which began with John Kani's Rafiki recalling the tale of Mufasa to young children, who revealed that the lion was really "an orphanage cub who had to travel the world alone until he rose to become the king of Pride Rock."
