I am, indeed, not at all shocked that even that already very low bar is lowered for cops.

Most cases of DV amongst the police force are investigated by the member's own force, so absolutely no surprise that it all gets brushed under the carpet.Originally posted by Gas In Name Only View PostComment

Never mind, the new guy is here as an interim!
From Police Scotland, it's Sir Stephen House! Last seen resigning because his force didn't respond to a car accident for three days. A man who introduced more stop and search into Strathclyde than for the whole of England. A man who put armed police patrolling the mean streets of Inverness!
Just the chap!Comment

There are no words. The police, the justice system, it's all institutionally racist.Comment

Public Enemy Number One
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...-inquiry-hearsAt least 24 undercover police officers infiltrated a small leftwing party as part of a surveillance operation criticised as being “Orwellian” and unjustified in its scale, a public inquiry has heard.
Officers were sent to spy on the Socialist Workers party (SWP) in deployments that usually lasted four years. The party, whose total membership fluctuated around a few thousand, was the leftwing group most infiltrated by undercover police.Comment

tbh I've always assumed that the SWP is a state front anyway, there to drain activists of energy whilst achieving nothing of useComment

Nah, that was the WRP.Comment

Also, Priti Patel basically made Section 60s available on request, and they're going to give tasers to Community Support Officers.Comment

They'll be loving that. Though the bit where a cop said "after four years, I realised they weren't the least bit subversive" must have smarted. And the bit where the cops were reported to have access to all their systems, and therefore "the details of hundreds of members". So just the paid subs list, not the much longer list of fake names and dead people they use to bump it up to thousandsOriginally posted by ursus arctos View PostComment

Wouldn't a better idea not to have recruited racists in the first place, or promoted them into positions of authority where they could recruit yet more racists?

But it would be much harder to continue racist institutions charged with upholding racist society if you couldn't employ racists in them.Comment

No one over there appears to have any idea what they are doing
