What is there even left to say at this point?

But they said it was one bad apple

 

[clint van damme]

Complaints against 1000 of 45000 officers, that's utterly staggering.
They're the biggest, most dangerous gang in London and they've got the establishment on their side, frightening really.

 

[David O'Day]

Wow, that c**t shouldn't even pass go. Just a noose would do.

So just over 2% wow

Known as Dave the Bastard, known to be a danger to women. I know, let’s give him a gun and train him how to use it “effectively”. That’s the bit that gets me above all else. They knew he was a danger to women, did nothing about it, other than make him a more dangerous individual.

 

[clint van damme]

So just over 2% wow

And that's just sex crimes and domestic abuse.
Wonder what the percentage is when other crimes are taken into account?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

And that's just sex crimes and domestic abuse.
Wonder what the percentage is when other crimes are taken into account?

A female police officer I know says that her colleagues often use ‘dark humour’ as a coping mechanism for the job. I’m not sure how to take that really.

well I know that to be true of the emergency services in general, however, these officers have had complaints of domestic abuse and sexual assault. It's well beyond 'banter'.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

And that's just sex crimes and domestic abuse.

Context would be there’s about 95000 people in prison which is about 0.0001 % of the population

 

[shmmeee]

Complaints and convictions in this area wildly different of course.

 

[Sick Boy]

I mentioned on here about my previous dealings with officers in the Met on a personal level and got laughed at…I still stand by it.

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Complaints and convictions in this area wildly different of course.

Also most convictions don't result in a custodial sentence.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Yep

 

[David O'Day]

Loving the defence line of "We knew he was called Bastad Dave as he was too cruel and mean but how were we meant to know it was a red flag?"

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Also most convictions don't result in a custodial sentence.

1.07m dealt with by the criminal justice system in 2021

So about 0.01% of the uk population. Again point by shmmee complaints aren’t criminal but even so

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Also most convictions don't result in a custodial sentence.

6% in 2019 which was also the highest average sentence year for a decade

Met chief says 800 officers investigated over sexual and domestic abuse claims

Sir Mark Rowley apologises for failings in the case of PC David Carrick, who admitted 49 offences.

www.bbc.co.uk

The Met Police is investigating 1,000 sexual and domestic abuse claims involving about 800 of its officers, the commissioner has said.

My ex brother in law (armed response officer in South East police force) was the biggest racist, misogynistic, homophobic person I ever had the misfortune to meet answered many of his mates in the force. Rotten to to the core.

My Brother in law is a police Sergeant and he's very similar.....must be an entry requirement.

My best mates older brother always wanted to be a police officer and joined in about 1987. Dropped out during training basically at the insistence of the police force. The official reason was because he wasn’t aggressive enough but he’s always maintained that the real reason was because he didn’t possess the “qualities” you describe. I kind have thought that we’d moved on from that period in time.

 

[fernandopartridge]

I always think of that line from Operation Good Guys where they go to visit the ex copper who runs training courses who appears to be into the KKK

"Of course he's not a racist, he's an ex police officer for goodness' sake"

 

[RegTheDonk]

Got about 5 in the wider family circle by marriage, kids' partners' families etc., some are kind of "up" themselves but they're all really anti discriminatory and find the whole Met stuff abhorrent, think they're genuinely shocked there's so many being investigated.

 

[Nick]

Do love how it's OK to make out that all coppers are baddies.

Imagine if you grouped people based on their skin colour or having a vagina or not. Same people probably blow their lid.

What a bizarre thing to say. I’m not even saying “all cops are baddies”, but it’s their chosen profession - how many people choose to have a certain skin colour or a certain set of genitalia?

 

[Nick]

It isn't bizarre, just pointing out the generalisation of it.

 

[SBT]

It isn't bizarre, just pointing out the generalisation of it.

As far as generalisations go, it clearly isn’t anything near as bad as generalising based on race or gender. Not sure what your point is, beyond #NotAllCops

 

[clint van damme]

It isn't bizarre, just pointing out the generalisation of it.

It's a fucking mental thing to say.
Their choosen profession is upholding the law and a large percentage of them don't think that applies to them.
It's not all of them obviously, the the percentage under investigation is incredibly high.

Is it actually a large percentage though?

Is it actually a large percentage though?

“The Metropolitan Police: Maybe they’re not so bad”

Is it a large percentage or not?

 

[David O'Day]

Is it actually a large percentage though?

yes and that doesn't count those who sit back and do nothing about it

 

[Nick]

yes and that doesn't count those who sit back and do nothing about it

What's the percentage? If it's large then I assume over half?

 

[SBT]

Answer the question, is it a large percentage or not?

Yeah for a law enforcement agency with sweeping authoritarian powers it’s pretty fucking big.

If it was 2% of BBC, Pfizer or World Economic Forum employees being accused of sexual assault you probably wouldn’t sleep for days in outrage.
