    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.

    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.

    Probably not, but it might stem from the fact that you to a larger extent than other workplaces hire melts who do it.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    I’m almost certain Richard Rufus died. Did I make that up? Clearly I did, but who am I conflating him with?

    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!

    I reckon I probably did at the time, but that information has since left my brain, only to re-enter some 12 years later.

    Someone from another forum I frequented as long as this one died today, posted 2 days ago. I knew he was ill but still, bit of a shock. Give it a few years and the annual death pool thread will just be us predicting each other's exit date.
