Does anybody else think we NEED her to stay? She is the highest ranking FEMALE police officer.

I do, however, think she could at least meet with the vigil organisers and look into what went wrong.

Also she needs to make a commitment to making the streets safer for women.

This always sticks in my mind when I think of Cressida Dick

www.scottishlegal.com/article/england-metropolitan-police-scraps-policy-believing-rape-complainants

Not specifically the policy change, but this comment

^Ms Dick noted that the MeToo movement had shed light on sexual abuse but said: “Speaking as a cop, opposed to a citizen, I’m interested in crime. If it’s a long time ago, or it’s very trivial, or I’m not likely to get a criminal justice outcome, I’m not going to spend a lot of resources on it.

“And what might be a misunderstanding between two people, clumsy behaviour between somebody who fancies somebody else, is not a matter for the police.”^

I've been a skeptic of how good she is for tackling crimes against women since then tbh.

In my opinion she should have gone after being responsible for the Met Police unit that murdered John Charles de Menezes in cold blood.

Absolutely agree.

Instead, she was promoted.

Un fucking believable.

Cressida Dick is a dick.

Was coming to post this

'Ms Dick noted that the MeToo movement had shed light on sexual abuse but said: “Speaking as a cop, opposed to a citizen, I’m interested in crime. If it’s a long time ago, or it’s very trivial, or I’m not likely to get a criminal justice outcome, I’m not going to spend a lot of resources on it.

Loads of other stuff. Can see Jean Charles menezes has been mentioned.

Met are my force.

She's no friend to women.

@sashagabadon

I think she does a very hard job in very difficult circumstances. Policing is overseen by two people in London, the mayor Sadie Khan and the Home Secretary prity Patel who as you can imagine are polar opposites and demand different things of police officers all the time. It must feel like being in a gaslighting abusive relationship to Cressida sometimes pulled between two warring parents neither of whom stick to their decisions. Last week the met was being chastised for not being robust enough. She has a lot of respect from a lot of people so I think she should stay.
This. It would be really ironic if the highest ranking woman officer is forced to resign over this.
SerendipityJane · 16/03/2021 11:23

She was in charge of an operation that saw an innocent man have his head turned into pie filling by a series of bullets that exploded inside his skull.

If anyone is surprised that she's hardly fit for her job I can't think why.

Earlier in the thread I demonstrated that the Met Police's website has given credence to conspiracy theories about satanic sexual abuse of children. I expressed concern that giving credence to such conspiracy theories endangers the welfare and lives of police officers in the Met and in other police services.

In the below video, former Met Police detective Jon Wedger can be seen alongside women from the Crossroads Women's Centre (closely allied to Sisters Uncut), while Mr Wedger makes a variety of claims about the Met Police service being corrupt and failing to investigate VIP paedophile rings. Wedger's claims have been widely debunked by skeptical persons including campaigners against police corruption.

Wedger has also been busy fundraising for his dodgy "Foundation" and creating horrific "SRA survivor" videos on youtube that are likely to be enjoyed by people with an interest in the sexual torture of children.

The protest in the video was part of a number of international protests claiming that the state is involved in the kidnapping of children from their innocent parents. I will post more about this particular cospiracy theory soon, however it is worth noticing that a number of fake "International Courts" investigating these claims have been established.

These courts are closely allied to the Freeman on the Land and Sovereign Citizen movements. They all aspire to undermine the law enforcement and judiciary in many territories internationally and to replace them with parallel power structures, that is alternative law enforcement and judicary structures.

A second video is important. In the next video Mr Wedger appears alongside the notorious SRA conspiracy theorist and anti-abortion campaigner (he actually believes that abortions are satanic sacrifices) Wilfred Wong.

Mr Wong is currently on remand following his alleged involvement in the kidnapping of an 8 year old child at knifepoint, alongside various co-conspirators. Wong is maintaining his innocence based on his belief that he was rescuing the child from satanic cult.

I cannot discuss Wong's case as it is pending, however I would like to share an article about the the anti-abortion networks he is involved in

web.archive.org/web/20210117040708/HTTPS:WWW.OPENDEMOCRACY.NET/EN/5050/SATANIC-CONSPIRACIES-AND-BREXITEERS-INSIDE-A-BIZARRE-ACADEMY-FOR-ANTI-ABORTION-ACTIVISTS/

Please find an archived page from Wong's personal website in which he links to the strange statement about children being abused by satanists on the Met Police website to prove to his assorted fellong conspiracists that SRA is real (scroll down -right hand side)
<a class="break-all" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210115055115/casra.org.uk/sra-in-the-media/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">web.archive.org/web/20210115055115/casra.org.uk/sra-in-the-media/

Apologies for the long post, I simply wish to demonstrate that by giving credence to claims of satanists sexually abusing children on its official website the Met, under Cressida Dick's watch, has been empowering some of the very conspiracy driven "activist" groups that have been assaulting police officers, spitting at police officers, shouting "shame on you!", "Choose your side!", ""Paedo protectors" and the like.

If Cressida Dick was unaware of the situaiton she needs to ake a fast track course in learning about cultic activist groups and how they have society ASAP. Or step down.

A man lost his head thanks to her incompetence. There really is no more she can do to get sacked.

VladmirsPoutine · 16/03/2021 12:25

Can't believe people think she should stay in post just because she's a woman in a very senior position. Girlboss feminism isn't something to aspire to.

MarieDelaere · 16/03/2021 13:15

I'd like to know exactly what happened on Saturday night in respect of the Met's policing of S. Uncut. and what intelligence the Met had on them.

I mean, if I could read on Twitter on Saturday afternoon what S. Uncut were planning, as opposed to what local, peaceful women were seeking, surely the Met knew?

I have a horrible suspicion that elements of the Met have been extremely duplicitous. If they have actually been complicit in allowing S. Uncut to destroy a vigil, then I would say that's a sacking offence for all the police officers who were involved.

Trust has gone, at any rate.

hoodathunkit · 16/03/2021 13:29

While I would not wish to downplay the importance of an innocent man losing his life, I believe that giving credence to conspiracy theories that place innocent people, including police officers, all over the country at risk of serious injury and / or death is also extremely serious.

I also think that giving amunition to sinister networks that aspire to replace our judiciary with their own pantomime courts is quite serious.

Those courts, for the record, include the International Tribuneral for Natural Justice (ITNJ) - here is a video of former met cop and faux whistleblower Jon Wedger at the ITNJ

and here is a link exposing some of the batshit activities of the ITNJ here

Why on earth would the Cressida Dick permit the Met's official website to provide ammunition to these insane people?

HermioneMakepeace · 16/03/2021 13:36

I heard locally that some of the protestors were behaving appallingly at the protest and were swearing at and spitting at police. Has anybody else heard this?

Yes, they were male; and the Met must have known they were planning on turning up and disrupting the vigil. If I knew from public SM, then the Met surely did.

The Met physically hurt a lot of women 'policing' these male disruptors, but first-hand accounts say that the police, instead of removing the disruptors from the outer perimeter of the vigil when it would have been sensible to do so, allowed a few of them to push through as an excuse to then charge forwards to the bandstand and cause havoc.

Very unprofessional tactics - for some reason.

LemonTT · 16/03/2021 15:00

I think there were a number of regrettable errors made in the run up to Saturday. First was the interference by the Met leadership in what would have been a local policing decision on a proposed vigil. This elevated the profile of the vigil and introduced a further complication around anti lock down and civil liberties sentiment.

There was also a growing discourse amongst commentators and the organisers themselves that it was to be a protest. This is a different beast from a vigil. I might be unfair but I wasn’t impressed by the way the organisers presented themselves. I was even less impressed by Cressida Dick’s public appearances.

Of course the Met had intelligence that the vigil was now going to be a flash point for protest and that would not be limited to women’s rights. The question to be answered was did the Met leadership make that worse or better by interfering in a local decision over a vigil for a murder victim. Why were they sticking to the mantra their concern was one of public health when they knew it was a public order issue?

Now Cressida Dick is saying that she intentionally distanced herself from the policing on Saturday night. 🙄 instead she left it to a man. In which case having a woman at the top doesn’t serve any of us well.

Cressida Dick is alleged to have the astuteness of a politician. But she seems to use that to protect herself not the public.

MarieDelaere · 16/03/2021 15:09

@LemonTT, I think that's such an astute post.

I suppose what I've been trying to ask is, how much of that Met carnage was choreographed, or foreseen, or planned, by police officers and strategists within the Met?

And are the Met involved in politics and 'optics' now?

Is Sadiq Khan in or out of the loop?

Were genuinely peaceful 'vigil-keeping women' collateral damage on Saturday night?

What is the relationship between Met strategists and members of S. Uncut? Has S. Uncut been infiltrated itself?

Just how murky is this?

ProfessorSlocombe · 16/03/2021 16:18

And are the Met involved in politics and 'optics' now?

When have they not been ?

VladmirsPoutine · 16/03/2021 16:23

And a hell of a lot of damage control - they've really pissed off the wrong people.
