American & Annoyed
Have you seen it, in full? I have, and I read all the major newspaper coverage of the BBC' s endeavor.
Obviously, the issue of child sex abuse is extremely nuanced, but may I comment as a foreigner on what happened?
I am so deeply impressed by your commitment to correct institutional errors in your police force as they come to light. As a member of Black Lives Matter here in the U.S., I do often feel hopeless that our police will ever be willing to stop murdering and abusing my black neighbors. The 12 year old boy murdered by police, Tamir Rice, lived in my city. As did so many of the other black Americans cops murdered in 2016.
I think you have wonderfully professional police, compared to mine. But policing is about as suspectible to pressure, corruption and politicization as any government function we could name. Constant vigilance will always be needed.
(Is "Line of Duty" based on real events?)
You had a serious problem. You acknowledged it, and are doing better now.
From this side of the pond, that looks VERY impressive.
