Speaking of Daves. Is this the copper that was nicknamed 'The Rapist' or 'Bastard Dave'?
The Met, what an absolute shower of a force. The one time I argued with Jim and actually was on the right side of history that one.
If it's anything like the coppers I've dealt with in my recent times then if 'closing the case with no investigation' counts as 'solved' I can imagine it would be a correct assessment.
"The Rapist" was the Sarah Everard one wasn't it?
Yes.
And 799 of his coworkers.
There's definitely a terrible culture in the Met. People may argue it's always them in the news because they employ the most coppers by far, but even on rapists per capita they've surely got to be miles ahead still.
Just reading there he's another one who's been reported multiple times for domestic abuse, assault etc.
It'd be worrying if they were meant to be stopping crime, eh.
If you employ 45,000 people there are going to be some dregs in there. Don't think a 'culture' causes people to commit assault or domestic abuse.
My old man was telling me the other day about how he once arrested his own front desk PC after discovering a scheme he had cooked up. Every time a member of the public would come into the station with a found wallet, banknotes or other valuable items, the officer would call a friend who would come in and claim it, and they'd split the proceeds. This worked a couple of times until the third or fourth time, he was bright enough to call a friend who also worked for the police, which was seen as a bit too convenient.
800 wrong'ns in still a significant number.
It is a culture problem, not necessarily that there are too many men or whatever because lol at the amount of tiny women I've seen as a lone responding officer offering as much threat as my 8 year old niece.
The standards and vetting are a joke however. It's even worse now apparently as they desperately try and reach Bojo's officer targets, a report surfaced about all the bad behaviour that had happened in station houses yet hadn't seen cadets dismissed including theft and assaulting other officers. I tried to find the report but search is hammered with so many incidents it's a needle in a haystack.
I remember an off duty officer went into a clothes shop and pissed in their changing room whilst drunk, gave the staff a load of grief and kept her job. Pretty sure any of the three above would see me lose my job.
Do they not use an outside force/impartial central investigation branch to look at these complaints in this day and age?
Wily Boly/Divock Origi/Romelu Lukaku/Whoever Leeds sing about eat your heart out
“So now Boston has a big bronze penis statue that’s supposed to represent black love at its purest and most devotional. This is no accident. The woke algorithm is racist and classist.”
The main problem with the police is the same as the main problem with politicians: the people that want those jobs are also quite likely to be the last people you want doing them.
Weren't you looking for a career change? That's an option right there for you.
I'm not really racist or rapey enough to make it through training.
Plus they only pay about 25 grand which isn't enough even with the perks.

So you start running a protection/ extortion racket.
C'mon Spikey it's like you don't even want to be an awful bastard.
He’s up for Harry’s slot in the RF.
I have a friend who works in HR for GMP and they simply don't sack people.
Look how they struggle.
"His colleagues were as surprised as anybody to learn that Richard, who they affectionately referred to as Dicky the Super Nonce-"
Richard Watkinson? More like Dick Wat Kid, son? Amirite.
Black English centre back. Dead (or maybe just prematurely retired due to heart problems).
Not Ugo Ehiogu. I think.
I was utterly convinced (as convinced as you can be about the status of an obscure noughties footballer). My world is shaken!
Bingo. Thank you.
Here's a fun quiz for you - https://www.sporcle.com/games/Freddi...ue-footballers
I'm in the opposite camp, I don't think I knew that Dean Richards had died.
Notable figures in a helicopter during wartime, might as well have shot them in the boarding lounge and saved the fuel.
I hope @RussiaMinistryofDe-Fence have posted some well funny lol memes on it.

Nothing to see here, all seems very normal and lacking suspicious behaviour from all parties.
Do you mean him sticking around for the birth?
They held those details back desperately
For about 2 weeks I've wondered why "couple decide to fuck off" was news worthy.
The French know how to strike.
Have they not got enough embarrassing politicians of their own?
I mean, Napoleon was right there as a fellow manlet. Maybe he is lauded over there for his crushing defeats and tiny cock, I don't know.
Think they are cool-ish towards Napoleon in general. They jack off to Charles de Gaulle and his hat.
Well, he did get a fetching tan hiding in Southern France.

Sounds like the bedroom of most of you lot.
A deep fat fryer in the bedroom, I'm not sure there's any way back from that.
That has "Social Service fuck up" written all over it.
