A few bad apples, is it?
If you still think the police are there to protect citizens and society, what can I tell you?
Sarah Everard. Raped and killed by Wayne Couzens, who turned out to be a well known wrong’un within the Met Police.
Met Police breached rights of Sarah Everard vigil organisers.
David Carrick, Met Police officer, admitted dozens of rape and sexual offences against 12 women across two decades.
Female former Met Police employee claims she was told Scotland Yard had 'just lost a sexual offence hearing and didn't want to lose another'
Met Police sex abuser David Carrick took victim on trips to Downing Street.
Two retired Met officers have been charged in connection with a suspected police paedophile ring being linked to the death of a serving chief inspector.
Richard Watkinson, who worked in neighbourhood policing in west London, was found dead at his home in Buckinghamshire last week.
The 49-year-old had been due to answer bail on the day he was found dead and was to be charged with a string of child sex image offences.
Two former Scotland Yard officers have now also been charged as part of the same investigation and are due to appear in court next month.
Need I remind you that these debacles - as well as a range of disasters including the 2005 shooting of an innocent Brazilian electrician - all took place under the command of former Met Commissioner Cressida Dick? Are we all waiting with baited breath for her to take up her seat on the benches of our upper legistative house in order to rule over us all as a reward for nurturing all those killers, rapists and child abusers?
Forgive me for quoting from her Wikipaedia entry:
Dick was awarded the Queen's Police Medal for Distinguished Service in the 2010 New Year Honours.[82] She was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2015 New Year Honours for services to policing.[83] In September 2019, she was promoted to Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in Theresa May's resignation honours.[84]
In 2013, she was named one of the 100 most powerful women in the United Kingdom by Woman's Hour on BBC Radio 4.[85]
Until this woman is in prison for the rest of her life, being bummed daily by an 18 stone tranny called Candice, there can be no peace or justice in this country.
Any time anyone tells you that women in power are somehow less fallible, evil, stupid, corrupt or risible than the men, it’s your duty as an adherent to honesty, decency and humanity to remind them of this case study, and take no shit.
There is no such thing as an honest copper. All of those who consider themselves honest have been - and are still - turning a blind eye to colleagues who regularly engage in illegal, immoral and downright evil acts, many of which will never be accounted for.
The incompetence, corruption, villainry, violence, rape and murder isn’t exclusive to the Met Police either. It is endemic. Just search the internet with your eyes and mind open.
Never trust them. Never speak to them. Never expect them to protect you or serve you. You have to protect yourself. From villains and from them. The sooner you accept this reality, the sooner you can start to prepare yourself for the day when you have to do so.
All those women and children who’ve been raped and killed by serving and retired policemen bought into the absurd charade of the police ‘being on their side’. Until they no longer could.
Maybe you’ll be lucky and, for you, the day will never come, but only an idiot ignores the imperative to plan for the worst, even as you hope for the best.
