Another story about the police:

My life as a female firearms officer in the misogynistic boys’ club

Oh gosh, the longer story it links to has a lot more detail (definitely needs a TW) and is truly appalling -

I read that the other day and it is truly horrifying. (I wondered in what way you thought it "definitely needs a TW" because I have been reading the threads about "TW in the Police" but finally worked out that TW = Trigger Warning" - and I agree).

The Police shop-front always seems to be dressed up with some variation on "your friendly Bobby", from Dixon of Dock Green to Rainbow-Idiot Bumble Bees, but behind the scenes a significant contingent are just as misogynistic, racist and homophobic as ever.

Do they still have a "Graduate-only entry" policy? If so, it does not seem to have improved things for the better.

It frightns me even more to know that some of these misogynist bastards are officially licensed to use firearms.
