FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The Metropolitan Police confirmed on Thursday that they are investigating 20 police officers and one staff for suspected racism while eight officers and a civilian staff have been suspended in connection with issue.
This comes as The Guardian reported Brian Paddick, a Liberal Democrat running for London mayoral elections who was a Met commander in 2004, had in a confidential report warned the Met top brass that illegal use of stop and search powers against African-Caribbean people would lead to a “racial hatred” scandal for the police.
This is while earlier comments by current Met Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe shed further light on how deeply racism goes within the force.
“For years the Met leadership have been refusing to admit it. In 2004 it was obvious we had a problem with racism, but nothing was done about it. If the Met had addressed stop and search, the chances of the riots happening would have been lessened,” Hogan-Howe said back in January.
The Met currently also faces two legal challenges over its discriminatory use of section 60 stop and search, which does not require reasonable suspicion and has been outlawed by the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
The scandal follows speculations that the Met suspends officers to prevent them from facing the courts.
Such speculations gain force in the context of reports in the British media of figures that show the Met has fired just one officer out of 120 convicted of racism in more than a decade (1999 to 2011).
Another six were forced to resign while 21 were fined to put a lid on the police corruption in Britain.
The statistics were only revealed after the Met admitted it has suspended eight officers for racist behavior.
This is while senior black police officers say the ignorance of racism goes back before 2004 to the police killing of a black man, Stephen Lawrence, in 1999 which caused a chaos of institutional racism accusations for the police.
“Like so many things, it lands on deaf ears until such a time as a free press – the media – get hold of it and forces people into action,” founder of the Met Black Police Association Leroy Logan said.
