This has made me so angry today. I can’t believe this shit still happens and how on earth do we begin to tackle it.
I would say take to the streets to protest but no doubt the police will shut that down again.

Women aren't allowed to protest unless they're willing for their rape, murder and oppression to be appropriated by males. See Sarah Everard's vigil.

This man was deemed responsible and level headed enough to be armed. Did no one,at any point,and you can't tell me that his colleagues and superiors had no idea of what he was like,consider that this might not be a good idea?
For civilians,the fire arm and shot gun laws are super strict.If you are arrested for drunk driving,your guns will be seized and if you are convicted,they can be removed completely and you can lose your firearms licences. The reasoning is that you have shown poor judgement with a deadly weapon ( car) so shouldn't be on a position to own something even more deadly. Quite right too.

A neighbour had an allegation of domestic abuse against him,which was never proven. He had all his guns seized and it took him a very long while to get them back again. A reasonable decision as no one wants a tragedy. Why are police officers not subject to the same standards as the rest of the population? Especially as they have infinitely more power and influence.

Does anyone know what the rates of sexual offending are amongst the police, compared to the general population?

I imagine that they're probably not very reliable stats, as many women would be even more scared of brining a case against a man they knew to be a police officer.

'The Met has apologised after it emerged he had come to the attention of police over nine incidents, including rape allegations, between 2000 and 2021.

Assistant Commissioner Barbara Gray, the Met's lead for professionalism, said Carrick's offending was "unprecedented in policing".

"We should have spotted his pattern of abusive behaviour and because we didn't, we missed opportunities to remove him from the organisation," she said.

"We are truly sorry that being able to continue to use his role as a police officer may have prolonged the suffering of his victims."'

Doesn’t this sort of stuff come up in performance reviews?! Ffs

TheFormidableMrsC · 16/01/2023 20:43

This prick was local to me. People are appalled. I won't go into detail but he was an abusive controlling piece of shit. He was flagged repeatedly and it was ignored or brushed under the carpet. My own experiences with a complaint (not about him) about a officer at the same station was an absolute joke. They close ranks, protect their own. I wouldn't ever again approach the local police unless it was absolutely unavoidable. I am sickened at how many women have suffered because of the incompetence of his employers. Sorry isn't good enough.

Soothsayer1 · 16/01/2023 21:29

I'd say almost all, rather than many? I'm inclined to think it's knowing they can get away with it that makes them unable to resist doing it?
Surely that's all gone now? Carrick has surely pulled up the ladder behind him?
Hasnt he?

Yes, the MET is not fit for purpose (& hasn't been for many years / if ever)

It has never been fit for purpose. Look at what radicalised Olive Morris, look at the Brixton riots, look at Blair Peach, look at Daniel Morgan. The Met are corrupt as fuck, and always have been.

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 16/01/2023 21:51

A detail from The Times:

The Times is blocked from revealing the full scale of the Met’s failings in the case, and the entire picture of Carrick’s offending after a High Court judge agreed to reporting restrictions requested by the Crown Prosecution Service.

🤬

lechiffre55 · 16/01/2023 21:53

apparently he never misgendered anyone so there was nothing they could do about all the rapes

I missed that, thanks for highlighting, could the men in the CPS be protecting the men in the Met? Ffs

JaneJeffer · 16/01/2023 22:07

Just watching this on the news now. Fucking hell

maryofthevirginkind · 16/01/2023 22:13

Very sad but not surprising. I reported a police officer, nothing was done, I have no faith in the police sadly.

Bestcatmum · 16/01/2023 22:19

I have zero faith in the police at all having experienced their misogynistic behaviour on many occasions.
I wouldn't bother ringing them if my house was surrounded by axe wielding maniacs.

justasking111 · 16/01/2023 22:42

There may be some taking early retirement to protect their pensions someone said. So the guilty escape that way

Actually i will give my local police credit that when there was actually an axe wielding maniac in the street they were there in about two minutes!

Dealing with a stalker yeah the male police officers found that funny! But axe wielding maniac was dealt with very swiftly.

LBC said his nickname was

Bastard Carrick

And one of Wayne Cousins nickname was
'Rapey' I think I remember rightly

I don't know if lots of them knew outright but you can bet many many people would have known his as a shifty bad cop.

I used to naively think that police investigated people based on suspicions (a la tv) but of they will all just turn the other way. Not many police officers go looking to solve crime/ make a difference they do what's put in front of them and join in the workplace culture.

I work in schools and we get reminded all the time for reqruitment that some people seek out jobs with children for ill purposes.

Some people seek out jobs in the police for ill purposes and find like minded people once they are there

justasking111 · 16/01/2023 23:09

Funny thing my OH knows an inspector who retired 20 years ago and one who retired last year at 50. They all enjoy the same hobby. The older one is straight old school. The younger one a bit of a shyster. They're a world apart in attitudes. The older one said don't trust the police in the first instance. They don't know the law and bluff it out.

Interestingly another friend is a magistrate she often asks for backup proof, cam footage, original statements, the bad/lazy ones can't provide it on some flimsy excuse. If the law can't trust the police we're really in a mess

crabbyoldbat · 17/01/2023 00:15

On the sacking issue - if someone is prosecuted in the UK, they are innocent until proven guilty. Sacking them before a guilty verdict isn't going to happen. In this case, he confessed some crimes while there was still a case in court, and if they'd sacked him in December it could have prejudiced that case.

Brefugee · 17/01/2023 07:24

Don't the Police have an internal disciplinary process for something like "bringing the force into disrepute"?
That's how a lot of bad-uns were shifted out of the army. Or disciplined and a warning given.

Helleofabore · 17/01/2023 08:04

”Funny because my first thought was "yet feminists all over the country are more concerned about what toilets we all use"”

What a bizarre take.

It is all part of a wider ‘no group of males is exempt from safeguarding protocols’. Not exempt by occupation, not by gender, not by race, not exempt by sexual orientation.

That you can’t actually see that, means you are in fact part of the problem and are minimising your own actions here. You are here telling people that they can’t work on strengthening safeguarding to ensure all males are treated as needing the exact same high standard of scrutiny.

You either have little understanding of the breadth of the issues that prioritising gender above sex brings. Hint: it isn’t just toilets. Or you don’t believe women can work on multiple issues at the same time. Or you are on this board simply because you like to shame women who disagree with you. (Or any combination of the three)

BBC reported that 9 times he was reported/investigated and nothing was done.

This is really appalling. The poor women. Nobody in the Met took their claims seriously. The institution really is rotten and misogynistic to its core.

ResisterRex · 17/01/2023 08:13

Radio 4 is covering this now

Helleofabore · 17/01/2023 08:15

This is an appalling case. I hope that the victims get the support they need. And I hope that this is the start of a forced change for the good.

DerekFaker · 17/01/2023 08:50

I see the usual police apologists have left this thread alone so far.

More rot in The Met: a paedophile this time.

"We should have spotted his pattern of abusive behaviour and because we didn't, we missed opportunities to remove him from the organisation," she said.

well, i understood from the massive police thread here before that they wouldn't recognise the pattern of behaviour. To be frank i think they wouldn't recognise a kipper if it jumped up and slapped them in the face, but here we all are.
Again.

Just spotted this. - You've changed your tune

Since you've gone back to a previous thread - my point in that thread was that each report needs to be investigated properly. And I still stand by that

So in that thread, each complaint against KJK needs to be investigated. You said in that thread that because non of the previous complaints went anywhere, the police should have 'joined up the dots' and not taken any further complaints against KJK seriously.

So are you saying this now?

That the police should not have taken any further complaints against this officer seriously?
