Resignations and celebrations ... |
Yep.
So far this year we have:
John Apter resigned as head of the Police Fed with allegations of his being a sex pest now passed onto the CPS for possible prosecution.
Cressida Dick resigned/sacked for losing the confidence of Sadiq Khan.
Today Michael Lockwood the head of the IOPC, who are supposed to hold the police to account, resigned due to "Historic allegations" . Braverman is reported to have presented him with a "resign or be sacked" choice.
Throw in Boris and Prince Andrew and it's been quite the year for seemingly untouchaable bods getting quite the humiliating comeuppance. | |

Yeah. But it's not cool to support the many police who do excellent work in difficult circumstances because of a few high-profile cases of bad policing. I suspect many of those willing to slag them off would be less willing to face some of situations the police deal with on a daily basis. But hey - easy target! |  |

Having a difficult job is no excuse for fostering, maintaining and turning a blind to toxic practices and culture that ultimately, make your job harder though. |  |

That article doesn't say what the Police investigation was about apart from an 'historical allegation'.
What I find interesting is that the Police are investigating the head of the organisation investigating them. Has Braverman asked for his resignation just because there was an allegation in his past? No arrest was made - just an allegation. The police can investigate who they want but until they bring charges he must be presumed innocent.
Will she apply the same standard and resign when she is being investigated for what is a quite recent allegation - mishandling of Government information. That's an obvious NO, she won't.
I assume that whoever becomes the boss of the IOPC will have a police investigation launched against them to find some dirt.
The police can be as corrupt as hell but the head of the IOPC must be beyond reproach.
For me, that's not fair. |  |

What utter nonsense.
Where is there any talk of not having any police ? How you manage to twist a factual report into that is quite disturbing.
What next ? Any factual report of Town playing badly and losing means the journalist wants a world without ITFC ?
I suspect your stance is coming from a belief that certain people in society are the victims of the 'establishment, lefty lawyers, wokeys' and other similar imagined bogeymen.
Just because the police supposedly have a hard job it should not excuse them from being held to reasonably expected standards. The police are there to serve us, not the other way round so stop grovelling.
That they have fallen way below those standards has been repeatedly evidenced by the number of recent court cases involving the police ie rape, murder, abuse of their position.
Investigate the Catholic Church over allegations of child abuse and covering it up....nah, they do a smashin' job ? People who think there should be any investigation ate obsessed. Look at poor Mr Saville, imagine a world wiv arht him, Paul Gadd and that didgeridoo player Mr Harris | | | |

You are correct that we should be grateful for all the good police that we have.
That in no way should excuse or minimise the impact of far too many problems among them.
Grateful for our police? Yes. Expect better than sometimes we are getting? Yes. Want them to be better funded too? Yes. It isn't an either or. Corruption and incompetence among the police should be a big concern for those of us who appreciate them. |  |
