I wonder how many more will come to light?

The Police Service needs a root and branch overhaul of its recruitment and retention.

Wow.
As long as it doesn’t allow Boris et al to say “It was just a problem unit, the rest of the force are fine!”

The whole thing's rotten to the core @Selkiesarereal

I hadn’t heard about the letters, that’s shocking. This just gets worse and worse.

Funny that the BBC didn't mention that he was in WCs unit on the news at 10.
I wonder if he was 1 of the officers who wrote letters on his behalf to the sentencing judge and also why the fact that serving police officers were will to defend him/his actions to a judge and argue for a more Lelant Sentence isn't getting more press (haven't heard it mentioned since the sentencing)

I was wondering that too @DrBlackbird

The Met needs a massive overhaul and much more rigorous vetting procedures for officers.

God. It's endless isnt it?makes yoibwonswe what next?

I saw that and wondered if it would be mentioned here. Charged tonight for an assault that happened September last year … why a year delay in charging him? This will do nothing to reassure women that the police are there to protect us.
