Met Police Review Reveals Institutional Racism, Misogyny, and Homophobia.
TL;DR Summary
A report by Baroness Louise Casey into the Metropolitan Police has revealed deep and widespread failings in the force, including discrimination, failure to protect women and children, inability to police itself, and shattered public confidence. The report found that rape cases were dropped due to broken freezers, officers were bullied and discriminated against, women were forced to eat whole cheesecakes as part of initiation tests, officers were encouraged to delete WhatsApp messages, and children seeking help were completely lost after arrest. The report called the Met Police institutionally racist, misogynist, and homophobic.
