Grim. And note "our figures are higher because we are more rigorous about recording complaints". That may be true, in which case the situation elsewhere is even worse.

Other police forces have higher rates of sexual misconduct and racism claims than Met

Six serving and three former Gwent police officers are being investigated for allegedly sharing offensive messages. Those being investigated range from constable to inspecting ranks.

An investigation was launched after "offensive messages" were found on the phone of the late Ricky Jones, a retired PO, who took his own life in 2020. Now the BBC article says:

[The Sunday Times] said that racist images, pornographic videos and sensitive information about misconduct and corruption investigations were among the material exchanged between Mr Jones and former colleagues.

...but this article from November 13th last year goes into more detail:

After [Jones's] death, WhatsApp and Facebook discussions between him and other officers were found on his phone.

They openly talk about the sexual harassment of junior female colleagues, racist, homophobic and misogynistic abuse, the leaking of sensitive police material and corruption, according to the report.

GarveyLives posted about Ricky Jones in post #937, which links to this archived Times piece: Dead officer's phone exposes police misogyny, racism & corruption (content warnings, it's heavy going).

Some bloody awful stuff in there - racism, mostly against Muslim women, including a horrible comment about Grenfell, homophobia and many years of sexual harassment and domestic abuse.
Had the messages on the iphone not been reported and Jones's family felt able to speak out after his death, none of this might have come to light.

Outrageous. When are the met going to suspend stop and search activities on children?

From 12 April:

A South Wales Police officer has been dismissed for punching an arrested man in the face and kneeing him in the ribs. (Or maybe I should say, for being caught out doing so.)

The Independent Office for Police Conduct found PC Rowan Knight used excessive force and gave a dishonest account of the arrest in February 2021.

At Cardiff Magistrates' Court in October 2021, PC Knight was found not guilty of assaulting Christian Summers.

However, a gross misconduct hearing found he should be dismissed.

During the court case, a judge ruled PC knight had acted in self-defence while arresting Mr Summers on Cardiff's Northern Avenue and cleared him of the charge.

But following an investigation by the IOPC, South Wales Police agreed the officer had a disciplinary case to answer for gross misconduct.

That's what, roughly 18 months between the court case and his dismissal? 18 months of drawing salary and getting pension contributions?

'The Met said: “We are not prepared to provide an ongoing commentary. We have no comment to make.”

Epic, Met. Not even an apology. FFS.

"A black man who was stopped and searched while his white friend was not has reached an out-of-court settlement with the Metropolitan Police ..."

Metropolitan Police: Black man stopped and searched but not white friend

The Metropolitan Police settled the claim before it went to court but has not admitted liability. Hopefully, the person who was in charge of the Metropolitan Police on 21 April 2020 will explain why this incident occurred.

 

[equationgirl]

Ha, then I should be stopped and searched by that logic (wearing too many layers) because I am always too cold at present, and multiple jumpers is the only way I can feel vaguely warm.

As for 'hos bike was too small', I have never heard anything ridiculous. To say the Met were clutching at straws here is a massive understatement.

I'm glad he sued

Earlier today, PC Imran Mahmood of Plaistow, east London, a member of the Metropolitan Police Territorial Support Group, whose previous application to keep his identity out of the public domain was refused by the court, appeared at Southwark Crown Court and denied causing grievous bodily harm to Jordan Walker-Brown, who fell from a wall after being hit with a Taser device in Burgoyne Road, Haringey on 4 May 2020, and has been left paralysed from the chest down and told by doctors he will never walk again.

PC Imran Mahmood, who was previously known only as IM or BX140 until a judge refused to grant him anonymity at Westminster Magistrates' Court last month, has been granted unconditional bail ahead of his trial on 20 February 2023.

Earlier today, the trial of PC Imran Mahmood, who is accused of unlawfully inflicting grievous bodily harm on Jordan Walker-Brown during a patrol on 4 May 2020, begun at Southwark Crown Court.

(Source: as stated in image)​

The court heard that PC Imran Mahmood, who was attached to the Metropolitan Police's Territorial Support Group which deals with outbreaks of public disorder, was patrolling the Haringey area of north London with eight other officers when he noticed Mr Walker-Brown walking along the pavement on his own and decided to speak to him "to see if he could legitimately explain what he was doing in the area" during the Covid-19 lockdown. PC Imran Mahmood also did not believe Mr Walker-Brown was dressed appropriately for exercise with his hood up and woolly hat on in warm weather.

PC Imran Mahmood and a colleague chased Mr Walker-Brown and drew their Tasers while the van followed. PC Imran Mahmood tasered Mr Walker-Brown as the latter tried to escape causing him to fall backwards from a wheelie bin over a gareden fence, landing head-first on the footpath below and breaking his back.

PC Imran Mahmood does not dispute inflicting serious injury, but denies it was unlawful

The trial continues.
