In 2021, people all over the UK took to the streets to stand against police power as part of protests. During the protests, five volunteer legal observers with Black Protest Legal Support (BPLS) were detained, strip searched, and subject to racist harassment. They're now suing the Met police.

being shitty again I see. UK is a fascist police state - you are being "abusive" when you refuse to submit to unsubstantiated claims. Comply or we cuff you. 🤷‍♀️ bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lond

Unsurprisingly, a report published today has found the UK National Crime Agency tolerating "toxic male cultures because women are outnumbered and fear the stigma and repercussions of speaking out”.

HM Inspectorate of Constabulary found examples of senior officers “with multiple allegations against them” being allowed to remain.

So far as I know, the Metropolitan Police do not employ pre-cogs; nevertheless they are happy to arrest people for crimes that they might commit in the future despite there being no evidence for them in either the past or present.

This is just a recipe for the police to commit more corruption and cover their own .

The police are there with the public's concent. This oversteps their authory. They collect evidence and pass it to trained solicitors who understand theae better than plod do.

Are the police in the UK just corrupt? From the top down?

Every day, we hear more and more about the easy the police behave.

The question is, what are we going to do about it?

"The Rev Al Sharpton has warned that racially charged incidents such as the brutal death of Tyre Nichols in the US will also occur in the UK without far-reaching police reforms.

On the eve of a two-day visit to the UK, the US civil rights veteran said that “systemic racism” and a “culture of policing that produces brutality” must be addressed"

@YorkshireTea chief Constable Dr. Limp 'Richard' needs to find a job he's good at. Maybe a Director of Lived Experience somewhere, I hear there's good money in that.

"One senior officer, who expressed concern at the existence of rape myths in their force, told academics: “We massively pre-judge the credibility of the victim. We investigate the victim more than the offence itself.”

Things women already knew, hence why so many don't report

will arrest you for having the wrong thoughts in your head.

will 'invite' you to 'voluntarily attend' an interview but force you to attend via arrest if you 'say no thanks'.

will ban lesbians from a Pride parade.

will stand by while women are beaten but will jump to help someone misgendered on the internet.

This is typical of an power that speaks words of but actually lives out and decay.

Senior former cops have been accused of training Chinese police who could serve in the country’s Xinjiang province where Uyghurs are persecuted.
London Policing College had a five-year contract, running until 2023, to train cadets from Chinese police academies in counter-­terrorism using the UK’s Prevent strategy.
