Disgusting and especially for a serving police officer, but must be more to it I'd have thought as doesn't really pass the jail threshold.

'Can'

Without wanting dismiss it as it's certainly not trivial, but if that genuinely is the threshold then we'd need a lot more prisons.

Unfortunately, when you read the response of the police federation, you just k ow that nothing is going to change.

Ofsted drives Heads to suicide, no consequences.

Met found to be institutionally vile, no consequences.

Prime Minister and most of his associates found to have lied about breaking their own COVID laws, no consequences.

So tell me why the rest of us should keep following the rules?

I think it’s where power meets adults
We just don’t skill up our parents to train young adults in the skills of adulting

Adults that all their life have acted how they want without impunity

Nothing will change without accountability, acceptance and a willingness to change. Powerful people have never had to show this level of vulnerability and humility

And another thing about the police is that they deal with criminals day in day out and it’s then easy to begin to think you are better than those around you and then see bad in everyone and everything but you and your mates and then you lose a sense of right and wrong.
What I’m now thinking is that worse than their being criminals working as police men and women is the thought that it was being a police officer that made them that way and gave them the opportunity to commit crime with impunity

Sir Mark said he felt a level of pride that his officers spoke out: "It is our men and women, who care about policing in London, who have given most of the evidence of that report to Baroness Casey, which is testament to their commitment."
Nice for the Met commissioner to allow himself some pride that his officers are now bravely speaking out. Just a shame that the organisation he leads apparently made it next to impossible for officers to speak out until now.

They’re criminals they don’t deserve to be treated like humans very quickly becomes treat everyone like shit unless they’re a fellow police officer then you need to understand what they’ve been through or are going through

The question is how do you even begin to fix problems like this which are so entrenched and widespread in the organisation?

The state of the George Floyd thread, loads of the usual suspects attacking people for even suggesting the old bill were a tad racist

You won't until the relevant people recognise there's a problem. Yet again, today, it's been down played by the MET chief and the home secretary.

Some of the stuff coming out is horrendous.
