UK The UK Police Megathread - They may need to check your thinking - A butter knife to the chest will kill as surely as a Bayonet

The UK Police a fine body of men and women, that for various reasons seem addicted to being an international laughing stock. Poor judgement, self pity, angry bouts of rage, interspaced with cravenly rolling over when challenged. Much of which they document themselves on their social media of choice, Twitter. Like so many lolcows, they have no ability to analyse or modify their behavior and instead when criticised will double down.

Yes I realise sections of the Police do a good job, serious crime is investigated by the grown ups. However this thread mainly concerns the day to day public policing, and the highly politicized hierarchy of the Police,

Outside the UK the Police are most infamous for their handling of various Muslim child grooming gangs. Books could be written on the subject so I'll just leave this here.

Then there's the police love of hate crimes. There are a few different reasons for this, partly it's to compensate for their handling of the Stephen Lawrence murder. However the police have discovered that investigating (particularly online) hate crimes, has significant advantages. Unlike the typical burglar, often suspects in hate crimes have jobs, families and something to lose, also the complainants are typically well motivated and often get support from various organisation such as Hope Not Hate ,Tell Mama or Stonewall.

Due to legal Aid cuts, and the reluctance of UK solicitors to take cases like this, people will often accept a caution at the first opportunity. If they don't the police have other tactics, such as turning up at your workplace, just to ask Questions such as in the case of Harry Miller a guy who got in a twitter row with Suzy Green of the Trans children's charity Mermaids

Also at one point there weren't getting enough complaints rolling in, which was a problem as an actual complaint is a legal requirement before they can investigate. However Liverpool police found a way around this with the assistance of Constable Dominique Walker, It's PC Walker's job to be offended and make complaints. 19 Year old Chelsea Russell was convicted of a hate crime in 2018 for posting Snoop Dogg lyrics on Facebook after her best friend died, PC Walker was on hand to make a complaint as no member of the public was petty enough to want to.

So why are they funny?

Well there's the contrast between what they'll put up with from certain sections of the community

0:09

versus how they treat other members of the public

Then there's the way they've decided to tackle the Knife Crime epidemic.

Currently the Police are covering themselves in glory as they tackle COVID19. The police have struggled at the highest levels to tell the difference between government advice and actual law. Here's the Chief constable of Northhampton Police flat out saying that he may decide to check people's shopping baskets for non essential items.

Even though he must have recognised the thing he was talking into was a video camera, he spent the rest of the day denying he'd said it. While at the same time retweeting Toadie underlings who defended him.

There's so much more though, the Police's worst scandals, while serious have often tended to be quite farcical. Such as Plebgate where the Police Officers on duty at downing street decided it would be clever to leak a story to the Sun Newspaper accusing a government minister of calling them plebs, because they were all exceptional they gave overly detailed statements which ended up being contradicted by CCTV(which they had somehow forgotten that Downing street had a lot of) This ended with the Prime Minister making a statement saying the Police had issues with 'honesty'.

The Stephen Lawrence murder investigation spiraled out of control because the police decided that Lawrence's family were nobodies, (only to find out later his father was friends with the editor of the Daily Mail) . With the grooming gang scandals the only arrests they made were the fathers of two of the victims (for a public order offense, ie giving them shit) and on one occasion the victim herself. However because the police were such pedants they documented everything, and which is why they fought so hard to avoid a proper judicial inquiry.

So the previous thread on the UK Police was dispatched to Spergatory, (thanks to @mr.moon1488 , @break these cuffs for their contributions to it) . After some advice from a sympathetic staff member I'm reposting here, because in his words A&H loves to crap on the British .

There is so much stuff out there , the UK police are so shit at using social media, that a single thread to consolidate it all might be worthwhile.

I like how the white 'stripe' is a tiny little triangle, the littlest of triangles.

it's not a white stripe, it's that weird off white color found in the tranny tricolor

BTW...The Anarchists Cookbook is trash. I suggest Army Manual TM 31-210.

"Animal blood can be used to gel gasoline for use as a flame fuel which will adhere to target surfaces."
That's pretty metal

"Animal blood can be used to gel gasoline for use as a flame fuel which will adhere to target surfaces."

I never learned that from MacGyver!

Burning things down to the ground used to be considered the most important duty a US serviceman could be expected to undertake, from Savannah, Georgia, through Tokyo, Japan, and all the way to dropping WP all over Fallujah mass destruction was supposed to be our stock in trade.

Now its pronouns, cock-chops, and having black officers shit on white enlisted. Its clear why the world mocks us, and it is absolutely galling.

A police officer was left in fear after being stalked by a celestial body, but fortunately “Officers quickly established there was no criminality and were able to reassure the woman involved."

To be fair, she might've recently read Hellstar Remina.

I actually prefer the related story in there;

He said: “A young officer discovered an old vase wrapped in a rag and reported it as being a Ming dynasty vase, which is worth thousands. It wasn’t, of course, and from that day on he was known as ‘Ming’.

“This young lady will probably find herself with a nickname for the rest of her career. The story will be told in years to come. The real test is how she handles it.”

What do people reckon they'll go for in terms of nicknames? I'm suspecting Venus given Jupiter's a poor fit.

Crimebodge has been banned from YouTube... I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did.

IO suspect what happened was that with his latest video detailing rise in sexual violence committed by women, being exclusively down to Troons identifying as women, some UK police agency submitted an official complaint to YouTube. Using the Tranny bashing to get rid the Police's single biggest online problem.

He's written about it, on his blog, he's a difficult character, but he's done genuinely great work.

I’ve been SUSPENDED on Youtube!

Revealed: Met police trainees’ violence and dishonesty​

Cressida Dick backs Hendon methods, despite leaked documents and internal sources revealing alarming incidents and poor applicants.

The head of the Metropolitan police, Cressida Dick, has been forced to defend recruitment standards as leaked documents reveal cases of violent disorder, cheating and dishonesty among trainees at Britain’s biggest police force.
The incidents relate to recruits at the Met’s main training centre and will raise concerns about its ability to provide an effective service as sources within the force allege declining standards for trainees as recruitment has been ramped up.
One leaked document shows that, in July last year, a female recruit at the Met’s Hendon Police College was detained after punching and headbutting a police officer while allegedly under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

Other documents reveal instances of dishonesty amongst recruits and emerge weeks after the force was accused of “institutional corruption” following an inquiry into the unsolved murder of a private detective.

The revelations will place fresh pressure on the Met and its embattled chief after a week in which Dick was roundly criticised after ticketless supporters stormed the Euro 2020 final at Wembley, the latest in a litany of scandals to hit the force.
The documents reveal that during an internal question-and-answer session in July last year, Dick was forced to deny rumours that an entire intake of Hendon recruits had failed the initial selection process but were still given a start date because “the Met needed the numbers”.
One officer asked her: “This has obviously raised concerns [about] the level/standard of officer we will get coming through recruit training.”
In her subsequent response, dated 29 July 2020, Dick said: “I can reassure you this rumour is not true. We are in no way reducing recruitment standards.”

However a source within the Hendon training centre told the Observer: “Standards have slipped dramatically. It is deeply concerning to many of the trainers and senior officers in the Met who want the force to uphold the highest of standards.”
A Met spokesman, however, “strongly refuted” any suggestion that standards of recruitment or recruit training had fallen.
The source also cited ongoing concerns within the Met that trainers have become more lenient with badly behaved trainees because of difficulties in attracting high-quality applicants. Again, the allegations were vehemently denied, with the Met saying it was “absolutely not struggling to recruit officers” and was attracting hundreds of applications each month with none allowed to start training unless they had passed a rigorous assessment process.
On Friday night Met officer Wayne Couzens was sacked with immediate effect after pleading guilty to abducting and murdering Sarah Everard in March. However, questions remain over how he was accepted into the Met and whether adequate vetting was carried out.
In April another Met recruit, Benjamin Hannam, was convicted of joining a neo-Nazi terrorist group and of lying on his application and vetting forms to join the force.
The allegations around the Hendon centre come as the force attempts to rapidly train recruits to meet its part of Boris Johnson’s promise to add an additional 20,000 officers in England and Wales. The Met has more than 8,000 applications which are being progressed, with the force on track to recruit more than 3,000 new officers this financial year.

The documents, seen by the Observer, show that in May last year a female recruit was allowed to continue with her training after being discovered cheating in relation to a “knowledge retention exam”, known as KRE-3, then lying about her actions.
In an initial internal report about the incident, a senior officer said: “We now have a situation where this officer has cheated and then lied.
“That, for me, is the most serious of breaches of standards. Honesty and integrity … we must not tolerate this abuse of trust.”
In March 2020, another trainee police officer admitted cheating in an MG11 assessment – which measures an officer’s ability to take an accurate witness statement – by copying another trainee’s work.

When the trainee admitted cheating he was allowed to restart his training after being warned “about his integrity and the serious implications of evidence writing when he is on the streets”. The Met said, after being subject to formal action, the trainee resigned.
In the same month, two student police officers were caught cheating in an exam and investigated by the Met’s directorate of professional standards.
After admitting cheating to a senior officer, one of the students was made to resit the exam, which they passed, and received a formal warning. The second trainee officer suspected of cheating resigned.

In another case, from June last year, a trainee police officer was questioned by senior officers after being caught bragging about using a “gooseneck” wrist lock – a pain compliance technique – to restrain a shoplifter when off duty.


When asked to explain his actions and why they did not document it using an official system “use of force” form, the trainee said he had attempted to stop a man from stealing perfume.
Later he changed his story and told senior officers that “he had made it all up” and added that “to make friends he exaggerates and lies”. The trainee later resigned.
The recruit who headbutted an officer last July was immediately suspended from duty and, after pleading guilty to the offences, was sentenced and dismissed from the Met.
The latest revelations about dishonesty among trainees come at a time when there are rising concerns about criminality among UK police.
In May Met officer Kashif Mahmood, who used his position to help a criminal gang seize money from other offenders, was jailed for eight years.

A Met statement said: “We set the very highest standards for our officers of the future as well as our current workforce.
“Of the thousands of new recruits the Met trains every year, a very small number fall below the expected standards of performance and conduct. They are dealt with appropriately, on a case-by-case basis and, where appropriate, cases will be referred to the Met police’s directorate of professional standards.”
It added that any deviation from the “highest standards of professionalism” was quickly dealt with and could result in dismissal from the force.
It also said new recruits undergo an extensive two- to three-year initial training course in line with the national police curriculum set by the College of Policing and accredited by four London universities.

So the Guardian got hold of a list of potential recruits who with one female exception misbehaved, cheated or were found out to have backgrounds making them unsuitable for the police all of whom either were dismissed or made to resign?

And yet in their list of recently employed officers who committed gross offences they somehow miss the one caught chanting free Palestine along with protestors? I am surprised.

I vote for Hera (Roman goddess of the sky, married to Jupiter) or Uranus (Greek god of the sky and it has "anus" in it, so it's inherently funny).

Anybody remember this charming young lady from the lock down protests last year? She was described as an ispirational hero, and the photo totally wasn't staged by the Met.



Anyway the only paper left in the UK that actually employs investigative reporters, finally got around to doing the background check that the Met should have done .

Exposed: Racist tweets of Muslim Metropolitan policewoman

The MoS can reveal the police constable is 26-year-old Ruby Begum, who in the months before joining the Metropolitan Police in 2016 used Twitter to insult Jews and mock the 9/11 attacks.

These people have obviously never spent time with “Asians”. There is nothing more racist when you hear “Asians” talk about other “Asians”. I’ve spoken with people from Pakistan who tell me not to trust anyone from Bangladesh and i’ve spoken with people from Bangladesh who told me the same about people from Pakistan. They all fucking hate each other and are very open about the fact.

The mythical British-Asian, whose known traits are a perpetual victim-complex, grooming children with hard drugs and trying to squeeze out the most gibs from society as possible.
Anyone who identifies themself as British Asian probably has some skeletons in their closet, or are so pozzed that they want to be part of some pan-Asian identity, if so, check which University they come from to find the source.
