Review finds Met Police ‘institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic’

The Casey Review says the UK's largest police force is “broken”. The racism, misogyny and homophobia is inflicted on the public they are supposed to protect as well as fellow officers.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
And it isn't just the shocking individuals like rapist and murderer Wayne Couzens and serial rapist David Carrick. It is institutional and systemic.
One female former officer we spoke to said she felt like a “fish in shark infested waters”. Labour accused the government of dangerous complacency.
And a warning, this report contains language some viewers might find offensive.

Police officers can act with impunity. Even when a police officer has been found guilty of gross misconduct, they still remain a police officer. Until civil claims against police officers come out of the pockets of offending officers, no significant change will occur in the poor behaviour of officers towards the general public.

What makes racism, misogyny, homophobia etc. institutional is that it is tolerated. When those who complain are seen as the "trouble makers" and those who perpetrate this behaviour are protected and treated leniently. That's what makes it institutional. The term has never been applied to suggest that ALL police officers are guilty or even that a majority are guilty of these crimes. The "rotten apples" have to include those who turn a blind eye, or treat this behaviour with a gentle slap on the wrist or when guilty officers are transferred elsewhere rather than sacked. Officers who report misconduct should be commended but, instead, they are often ostracised not only by colleagues but also by senior officers right up to the top. Even if only one or two officers are guilty of these crimes, as long as the priority is focused on hiding the problem rather than addressing it, then the crimes are, by definition, institutional.

[@mogznwaz]

It HAS to be tolerated to a degree because police deal with the very worst kind of human scum every single day and it will mess with you . To defeat criminals you need to be even harder than they are

@@mogznwaz If that was the reason why some officers are racist, misogynistic, homophobic or whatever, then it would apply to ALL officers. But that isn't the case. I don't doubt that there are many aspects of the job that can mess with you but most of those who are eventually convicted had a history of domestic violence before even joining the force. It's a job that provides quite a lot of power over others and considerable opportunities for corruption. So the vetting procedure has to be far more robust than it is.

[@Christopher_J]

​@@kevinb9830 The moment that the discussion becomes a comparable study to include 'whites' in the way you have here is the same moment the issue of institutional failings within corporations such as the Met Police become trivialised. White people are never attacked or persecuted by the police on account of their ethnicity. The example scenario used of a white schoolgirl being mishandled [and not reported upon in the media] as was the case recently of the black teenager who was unlawfully stripped search takes the discussion into unhelpful territory. The familiar narrative of 'what about us' as opposed to let's look at identifying the causes of one issue and finding the solution(s) to it is a flawed measuring stick. Racism should be called out for what it is without the need for a significant proportion of the population to become defensive and offer comparable studies as rebuttals to historic and institutional failings. I would agree that poverty is a main cause of violent crime and the stats show that blacks are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system, however the stats also show that blacks are at a significantly higher risk of being victims to violent crime; i.e. black on black crime. The issue therefore is not only born out of poverty but also has deep psychological factors at its root. The issue of how we as a society challenge and remedy ourselves can never be found with the "us against them" mentality that remains so prevalent amongst the thinking of significant sections of the population. I reiterate that the Met Police should be held accountable for racism and misogyny where found in it's organisation and commentary around this is better served if we refrain from descending into false comparisons that seek to absolve institutions from their own systemic failings.

The initial vetting procedure when joining the police, needs to be much more thorough. Then, whilst serving, a further vetting assessment is needed at 5 year intervals, in order to ascertain any changes in a individual's attitude, performance, conduct etc. This 5 year assessment needs implementing soonest for current serving officers, throughout the UK. Also, offences on a scale, such as, predatory acts, committed by officers, should not be dealt with 'in house' but should be immediately dealt with by an independent body, which is marginally represented by Senior police officers. For decades, Joe Public has been led to believe that society's, civilian miscreants, have been responsible for the worst crimes possible, when in fact, some of the cases, have been committed by those deemed as our protectors. You can understand the concern. The majority of officers, throughout the country's police forces, are genuine, sincere, committed and are appreciated by majority of public. The wayward 10%, who are a stain on the forces integrity, need to be identified and removed.

I could go straight into being a detective and skip the grunt work of being a PC because I'd have a degree. Salary seems alright, but I'd mostly want it for job satisfaction if there is any.

[@NikolaiOfTheShire]

@Henry Adams you'd think at first, depends on a lot of things including the job market. Detectives ain't daft, I know someone that did forensic type uni stuff, joined the police, and is training to be a detective, but still the uni you went to, the grade you got, the type of person you are etc all factor in, lotta people been uni that still haven't started paying that debt off cos they're not earning a high enough salary.

I personally think that the police force is one of the hardest jobs to go into because they are seeing every single day the worst side of life good grief they are human beings and I think people tend to forget that they have families children stop and think for a moment if you were seeing every single day the inhuman behaviour of the public how would you feel?😐

Newcastle police were horrific to a mate who is an older unpaid family carer and when her loved one became delusional after being unsafe discharged with no notice from CNTW when two staff caring for him left for various reasons. Mate was regularly thrown out in a bad way by police and questioned only if she received a carer's allowance!! The same question the sergeant had when she rang to find out what was going on. The female sergeant never asked my friend if she was okay and for more information just 'do you know why he rang 999' like pc pld fgs. Mate said no. Sergeant serious voice 'he said he has someone in his home for 30 years and cannot get rid of them'. On one occasion accused of removing a three piece suite from the home she was still put out leaving delusional vulnerable loved one in danger and she too. Also on one occasion during the night asked if she could hurry up as the attending officer was the only one on duty with a taser. A whole train wreck followed with dumber social worker attending causing such harm when at the end of the day it was the mental health services who failed the family

[@CriticalTheoryIsNonsense]

What a familiar sounding statement.

[@MultiMattRogers]

His choice to use the words "mainstream media" was quite telling. Not only does that suggest that he prefers some form of "alternative media" that we can infer would be more pro police, but we have to consider where the term "mainstream media" comes from and who uses it. It is worth noting that at this time the phrase "mainstream media" is used primarily by overtly right wing new media outlets, predominantly those preferred by the alt-right, as well as conspiracy theorists (Qannon, flat earth etc.) so it isn't a good look for a spokesperson for the police to be casually using the language of these groups whilst defending the met from accusations such as racism and misogyny. Then we have to look to the history of this rhetoric. Whilst the term that was used most closely translates to "lying media" rhetorical attacks on popular news outlets in this manner are usually traced back to Joseph Goebbels, who was the first political actor to successfully spread the idea that the press were controlled by a "other" who is willing to mislead the public. Obviously in his case the "lie" was a refusal to blanketly blame various ethnic groups for all of Germany's problems. I'm not saying that the metropolitan police are represented on television by literal Nazis, but the casual way that he threw out that phrase without contexts suggests that he is familiar with the work of people who are comfortable repeating this rhetoric. It's concerning.

[@mogznwaz]

Mainstream Media is the correct term. Using that term has sent you down a conspiracy rabbit hole entirely of your own making. Most police forces are conspicuously left wing with their pride flags and policing of pronouns instead of catching actual criminals. Perhaps you don’t like THAT fact so you are projecting
