I’m surprised he kept his job. I have heard of police officers losing careers for much less serious incidents.

I’m not in the USA. The shit going on there is next level! This story comes from the UK…totally different culture, opinions, experience and standards.

If that was anyone else they would be doing 6 months in jail or at least a suspended sentence.

That stuff has been illegal since 2007. How the fuck has this man still got his job as a copper?!?

The MET is currently literally being purged because surprise surprise, they are infested with rapists and abusers on every level at alarming rates (according to the MET themselves!). currently 1070 suspects are employed at the MET, 2.9% of the force. 1 in 35 is suspected of being an abuser and/or rapist.

From the article:

"It adds the video did not cause any actual harm to public confidence in policing because it was shared in a private forum."

And now, the actions of the officer and a description of what the video showed has been shared with the public. Some really shaky logic in this reasoning.

It doesnt matter if its low compared to other countries. Its abysmal from a human perspective, especially from people supposed to protect you.

If teachers or doctors had those numbers we would sharpen pitchforks and light torches.

The bottom 2.8% percent of anything is usually pretty bad, including teachers and doctors...

Police work attracts many unsavory individuals who are drawn to the power, violence, and immunity from consequences that the job offers. Good police force tries to weed out these people, bad embraces them....

The purge happened because people kept keeping their jobs after reports, and it only happened with the MET, only a few months ago. The MET themselves saying that there is a culture problem, meaning MET cops still aren't held accountable and that number is likely to increase more.

So yea my response is that, because its one of the few quantifyable datapoints we have about the corrupt police force.

Oink oink.

Feel free to provide statistics of your claim that 2.8% of teachers and doctors are also "pretty bad". I would also catagorize systemic rape and rapist protection systemically (again according to the MET themselves) is a bit worse than "pretty bad". If the army did it it wouldve been a warcrime.

The point being made is that the UK is far, far better at holding its officers to account than the US. There have indeed been institutional failings in the Met (an abbreviation for Metropolitan, not an acronym, by the way) but that's just one police force and those issues are now getting rectified.

Pig likes to watch a pig get raped, what a sicko. Only the best and brightest, folks

Nobody was talking about the US, its completely irrelevant for how abusive the UK police force is.

Where are the independent rearches into other police organizations then if others dont cultivate the same problems? Oh wait they dont exist? Shocking. almost as if its a broader police problem, especially since this problem goes as far as special protection units at the top.

You really going to believe them on their blue eyes when all independant evidence points towards the opposite?

I'm not sure if you've forgotten what thread you're in but the first person that replied to you suggested that the worst of the news about law enforcement comes from the US. That's the angle I'm coming from. If your original comment wasn't alluding to news from the US then fair enough and I apologise, but when I joined the conversation, people definitely were talking about the US.

I definitely don't believe them, no. To be clear, I'm not defending the police. In fact I'm pretty sure we're actually in agreement. My only motivation for replying to your comment originally was to call out what I perceived as a logical inconsistency.

I said its irrelevant for what i said when it was brought up by op. The original commenter never talked about the us in their original post, only when responding to me explaining the vast abuse by uk police in an attempt to diminish its severety.

I understand, thank you for the clarification and sorry for the misunderstanding

Well back then, even though there was plenty of videos going round of that stuff to buy, it was made in countries where it was legal to do that stuff, the Internet was still a little bit wild westy, so unless you got caught with the kid shit, no one really cared about the porn you were downloading. Once it became more well known that people getting caught with pedo stuff had rape videos and beastiality videos in their collections aswell, they thought there was a link between going from normal porn, to animal porn and rape videos, then to pedo porn. So to try and stop it, they made it illegal to download "extreme" porn. I'm just going off of memory for all of this, but I think it fell under the misuse of computer act that they made the same year. So basically, they did this, but there was a clause that if you had any material where you could prove you had it before 2007, you wouldn't get in trouble for it because it wasn't illegal to own when you got it, but anything after, you were in the shit.

Even today you can still buy animal sex dvds from company's that sell mail order. They won't advertise it, you have to be buying stuff from the same company for a while before they send you their "explicit" collection magazines. These companies have been doing this same tactic for almost 40 years back when porn was all VHS.

I was rather mentally disturbed by a video that someone showed me of a woman and a tiger, which he had on his phone “because it’s funny”. Thing is, he wasn’t laughing, but he did have a smile on his face 🤮

I mean....it's kinda fucked up..... Buuuut I can kinda see how it could be humorous. I'd have to watch the video to effectively rate it.

Police can commit a murder in broad daylight and get paid leave so I shouldn’t be surprised this person got off (possibly both literally and figuratively)
