Putting Hasting, Steve & Kate onto it would be the option most likely to get anywhere with this ... |  |

What a shock. No lessons to be learned, and we wait for it all to happen again in six, twelve, eighteen months' time. Sigh. |  |

Wait until they say they did nothing wrong in Bristol too.

I have a bit of sympathy for the ordinary rank and file (even though I’m sure there are a few who relish the opportunity to be heavy-handed and, in Bristol certainly, crack a few skulls).
But really they’re the fall guys for an increasingly authoritarian government and their own senior officers who want to prove their usefulness. Being set up as frontline troops in a culture war doesn’t do them or society any good – in fact quite the opposite. |  |

I often use the phrase "institutionally corrupt". Reason being, the police as a whole will do whatever is needed to protect their reputation over and above, doing the right thing.
They are institutionally incapable of recognising their mistakes (when they happen) and their default position is always to protect and cover up rather than to reflect and learn.
Seems this is yet another example of the institutional corruption that permeates British policing. They had a choice, to reflect on the decisions made, instead they chose to defend their decision making.
And the worst thing of all, I and many others won't be in the least bit surprised by this report. Same old. |  |

Interestingly the report isn't a total whitewash, on the rather salient point of whether the police got the law right it decided they got it wrong.

So it was all the fault of the police then. I was thinking that the country was being overrun by militant anarchists out to destroy law and order. Phew. |  | | |

I wasn’t going to respond to this, I certainly am not adding this for mass debate. I’m adding the below to hopefully add a little balance and show that (albeit pro police) channels are providing a different viewpoint. I’m sure many of you don’t care about these, or don’t want to attempt to see this viewpoint.. that’s fine, but this shows it’s simple just add links to article and social media to simply support your own viewpoint. The truth is far more nuanced.
Government and police have continued to have many failings, my biggest gripe is the distinct lack of explanation of powers and policies as if you speak to any cross sections of society they will have a different understanding of what police can or should do. That is governed by the government, not the officers

I had a police officer & his wpc partner as tenants a while ago. They broke his tenancy agreement in 3 ways in 4 months, including both of them regularly smoking inside the house. This was indisputable, as the smoke drifted through various pipes into my half of the building, and I also regularly saw them smoking through the windows. They stubbed cigs out into my plant pots outside & left them there & on the doormat.
I tackled her about it when I happened to see her once - she flatly denied it, & when I pointed out the evidence she said to me "well R, who do you think people are going to believe - you, or the word of two serving police officers?"
I used to trust North Yorks police, certainly didn't after that. | |
