More criminality from the not fit for purpose Met. Just how many murders and rapists are they harbouring?

Probably fewer than those who put their lives on the line to protect others.

All of the available evidence suggests that may not be true.

As i've said before, much to a lot of peoples eire, whilst there's good people in the army and the police, you have to have something at least slightly wrong with you to willingly join either. Full of wronguns.

The government has the met where it wants it - under its thumb. The commissioner is damaged goods and will do anything the government says in a reciprocal deal for giving her a new contract.
It's not good.

And how many communities in Uk are withholding information on drug dealers, criminals of all types and gangs carrying knives and guns waging war on other gangs and the local communities ?

I've never really got this kind of argument. To bring in a different problem and say well this is also a problem seems irrelevant to me.

I recently watched Four Lives and the police appeared to be rather dumb and incompetent in that too.

You need to watch Bosch. He don't take no sh*t from nobody and he is fully deserving of the title Maverick Cop.

Of course not. But all this crap about suggesting the whole bunch is rotten because of some wronguns is frankly so stupid.

Exactly. Being a bit racialist doesn’t necessarily make you a wrong un.

There is a difference in that police offices are paid to uphold the law and have powers of arrest. That said, I am sure that the honest and reliable officers are thoroughly angry at others who bring the service into massive disrepute. (Am I correct in thinking that the officer who was convicted of the dreadful killing when he kidnapped the victim in Clapham is considering an appeal??)

I don't usually agree with Thor, but he's got this one right.
I suspect that the Met's lack of willingness to investigate clear breaches of the law where they were actually present has done much, much more to undermine them amonst those who generally respect the police (and the challenges they face) than the actions of individual officers which always make the front pages.
