Met Police chief Cressida Dick resigns | Evening Standard

Met Police commissioner Cressida Dick will step down from her role after Mayor of London Sadiq Khan announced he had “no longer had sufficient confidence” in her leadership of the force.
In a statement, Ms Dick said she would move on from the role after a “short period” to ensure the “stability” of the Met.
It follows a series of scandals involving the force, including the murder of Sarah Everard by former Met officer Wayne Couzens.

Yeah, not to mention the murder of Charles de Menezes under her watch. She was long overdue for the push.

An interesting read when true crime programs are as popular as ever.

Revealed: LAPD officers told to collect social media data on every civilian they stop | Los Angeles | The Guardian

An internal police chief memo shows employees were directed to use ‘field interview cards’ which would then be reviewed

I hope everyone involved in civil liberties is questioning and challenging this.

Police Kill More Whites (46 percent) than Blacks (24 percent)

Police Violence is Directed Against Working People and Youth of all Racial and Ethnic Backgrounds

"Data collected by the Washington Post records 6,214 police killings in the period between January 2, 2015 and April 14, 2021. The victims are overwhelmingly male (95 percent) and predominately white (46 percent). Blacks make up the second largest group (24 percent), followed by Hispanics (17 percent), Asians (1.6 percent), Native Americans (1.4 percent) and all others (0.7 percent). The average age of a police violence victim is 37. In more than one in five cases the person who was killed was exhibiting signs of mental illness."

Why is no one listening to the poor when they have been complaining about police brutality for generations? Why is no one listening to the truth, and only lies?

Former Atlanta police officer charged in Rayshard Brooks shooting

People crying crocodile tears for the cop in this shooting. They think small. The politicians brought pressure to enforce the letter of the law in this case. Cops are outraged because the law is rarely enforced against them. Today there are reports from Atlanta, that cops are not showing up for work or are going on patrol but refusing to respond to calls. That's right. Upset a cop -- enjoy your rape, head trauma, or sucking chest wound -- see if we care.

What's ridiculous is that there is very little if any chance of a conviction in this case. Realistically, they are more than likely just going through the motions to relieve tensions. However, police unions have been so successful in protecting the interests of police officers that even the suggestion of one of their own being held accountable in a circumstance that is not the least bit uncommon among their ranks, is unsettling to them. Again, they are outraged! As in, "How DARE YOU SIR, to question us for shooting a man in the back??? HOW -- DARE -- YOU??? NONSENSE!"

Just to clarify where I stand, I say fire anyone who doesn't respond to a call. If they protest that too, fire the lot of them. I think this is the first time I've ever been anti-union. Then again, this union defends killers so I don't think it counts.

Relax! He'll get off. I'm 98% sure this is pure theater.
