Met Police Placed in Special Measures

[bitchstewie]

This doesn't sound good but also doesn't seem entirely surprising based off perception of a series of recent events.

Met police placed in special measures after series of scandals

I'm all for stop and search, the rozzers should do more of it.

Not an easy job but looking at what has been happening over the last few years it's the right decision you can't carry on like that.

Politics at play.

Revenge for the Partygate investigation?
Looks like certain elements of the Met have been rotten for years… presumably it’s time for more lessons to be learnt.

I'm waiting to see how the usual apologists will spin this to be anyone / everyone else's fault.

That'll teach them to go door to door at midnight!

Well we have had conservative Home Secretaries, who ultimately are responsible for policing, for the last 12 years. So maybe some blame could be apportioned there.

How many times have you been stopped, held up for half an hour, before being left to go on your way. Do you think if this was happening to you on a regular basis, you might not be so keen?

Well if you don’t want to be stopped you shouldn’t go about looking suspiciously dark skinned should you!

GMP needs something similar

Or wear a loud shirt during the hours of darkness.

And then be off shift for a week, the audacity

For blokes strip-searching young girls, murdering women, that sort of thing? OK.

Especially in a decent car

Met have been rotten for years, there's been a gradual decline since the 2011 Riots, and ever since 101 was introduced, there are even less on the beat, more preferring the X3 or unmarked Peugeot 308 to tear about in. If you are a victim of crime like a burglary, you will get your crime reference for your insurance, but little else. I noticed they have quietly dropped their "Total Policing" strapline (perhaps in line with trades description act)

Some of the incidents that have happened have been shocking, I think with a different commissioner, Bojo wouldn't have gotten off so easy with a £50 fine (there are parking fines that cost more than this), whereas members of the public who had a party in Lockdown were fined £1k

Met came up to Sheffield during miner's strike. They were more of a pain in the ass than the strikers.

I could not give 2 fks if it helps get knives off the streets.

MET? Amateurs. Stop search rates overall 6 times higher in Scotland. A s most ofvthem were in Glasgow.
