London's Metropolitan Police force is guilty of perpetuating institutional racism, sexism and homophobia, and a 'culture of denial' has prevented the force of more than 43,000 from changing its ways, a report has found.
of newspapers on Tuesday slammed a “BROKEN AND ROTTEN” police force, declaring the report a “damning verdict.”
The report said that the Met needs “a complete overhaul and a new approach to restore public trust and confidence and earn back consent from women, Black communities and the rest of London.” More than 80 percent of Met officers are White, 71 percent are male and most don’t live within London, according to the report. “As such, the Met does not look like the majority of Londoners.”The Met’s cultural issues have impacted not only Londoners but officers and staff within the force, the report found. “A bullying culture underpins all this,” the report said.
