Long list now, any good copper must be embarrassed to tell people what they do now days, Id be ashamed to wear the uniform, many have known about some of these bad coppers yet did nothing about it, knowing and doing nothing is as bad as the actual crime in many of these cases.

[Polarbear]

While 50 coppers arrested in child porn raids is pretty disguisting it's all got out of hand and is a witch hunt now.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not pro popo but every big and little thing is being plastered across MSM. There are thousands of good police officers and they are being dragged down by a few, and it is a few, and the media.

Maybe, in the same way that thay don't say someones race so they don't want to tar the whole community with one persons crimes we shold stop plastering the persons job all over the media.

Of course that would lead to screams of 'cover up'.

I don't know the answer except that obviously recruitment policy needs to improve, just at a time they are lowering it for diversity reasons according to some sources.

It's a right fcuk up but at least we don't give the majority guns.

To give some type of context, there are 135,573 cops in the UK although I presume that figure is now 135,523

Hmmm? Surely as a police officer, their conduct should be beyond reproach.
Their integrity should be of the highest value.
We seem to be forgetting that in this day and age , this does not appear to be the case in the modern police forces.

The media keep finding/revealing these stories of bad coppers.

Maybe it’s time to look at recruiting policies and stop pandering to political correctness/making up the numbers and spend more time ensuring those that do join the force are fit and proper persons.

What are the academic qualification requirements for police officers in the UK these days?

This tells you everything you need to know about the officers in uniform today,
They called him the Rapist, yet nothing was ever done.

Cop mentality is as world wide problem. Its the give someone a badge within an institutional gang syndrome. It could probably be tackled with sensible organisational development but does anyone believe such a thing has been possible within any of our public services over the last dozen years?

I think we're a bit blasé about our society, thinking were a liberal first world organised nation where such development happens automatically. We're no longer such a thing, we cant even lay a strip of tarmac competently never mind build cutting edge modern organisations.

[Nobby the Bastard]

Yes, and when unconscious bias, active bystander and similar training is called woke and ministers of departments decidethey have no truck with it nothing will change.

You are ignoring 'active bystander' which I quoted as well.

This is about not ignoring obvious unacceptable behaviour even when it's directed at others.

There two go hand in hand. One is about being aware yourself that you may be displaying bias and other is identifying poor behaviours in others.

Don't complain about those behaviours being shown when you have no solution when there is one that is being derided as woke.

Based on absolutely nothing, I'd be confident that even the most uptight dickhead policeman officer who lets his mates get away with all sorts of dodginess isn't going to be an active bystander in anything that's in the slightest bit even vaguely related to child sexual abuse.

On a different note, the idea of unconscious bias training is so woke and that's not in a good progressive way.

[Kawasaki Jimbo]

I think we must assume that ‘The Rapist’ nickname was thought to be an extreme laddish joke (like Nobby ‘The Bastard’ or indeed, ‘Ste 4 Mod’ [sorry Ste] ) and not a genuine recognition. You’d be amazed if any copper needing additional training in the form of ‘active bystander’ to recognise and report crimes.

[Nobby the Bastard]

[Kawasaki Jimbo]

So it was a nickname used within a minority, similarly-minded clique and not a generally used epithet.

[Nobby the Bastard]

Apparently so. The people who didn't follow up the original indecent exposure incidents wouldn't have been in a small whats app group for VIP protection PCs he was in.

It's such a shame it fits so well.
