Bianca Williams - Met PCs Win Appeal Over Sacking

On GB news too not just this case yet the case of the woman not showing her travel ticket.

The police want the IOPC investigated they don't trust them anymore

Dos Santos’s lawyer, Jules Carey of Bindmans LLP, said he was unsurprised it had been overturned. “It was irrational to say that some officers smelled cannabis and some did not,” he said. “The panel got itself into a complete mess as soon as they settled on the bizarre view that the streets of London smell of cannabis.”

The streets of many British towns and cities smell of cannabis. When I walk around my town most days I can smell cannabis ... the smell of cannabis can be detected 100 yards or so from it's source by someone familiar with it's odour. The houses in my street have large front gardens. I know which houses are occupied by cannabis smokers because when they have their windows open I can smell it. After the shops close several evening cafes in the High Street attract people who smoke cannabis. The moment I turn into the High Street I can smell the cannabis coming from the cafes a hundred yards up the street. Schoolkids gather in one of the town's parks and smoke cannabis ... it can be smelt by passers-by in the street outside the park. There's a beggar camped outside the entrance to Gloucester Bus Station ... she reeks of cannabis. When I was waiting to see my GP an elderly man sat next to me ... he smelt of cannabis.

 

When they were stopped Dos Santos should have been charged with traffic/driving offences. I suspect both of them would have been arrested and charged if they were white.

"The IOPC are certainly not independent - they are anti-police"

I listened to an ex Met detective superintendent, so pretty senior, being interviewed on GB News and he said exactly the same. He said the IOPC are anti police and should be scrapped. 

Absolutely.

But here's the thing: Society is complicated. People don't commit crimes equally. Some groups commit more crime than others.

And that's difficult because it's contrary to the political narrative.

So we have a whole raft of organisations (and a senior management) whose job is to pretend that the police are the problem.

Because that's easy.

Indeed, I have a theory that even if the whole of the Met were comprised of black lesbians we would still be told that the police are institutionally racist/misogynist etc. etc.

Because that's always going to be easier than addressing the real problems in society.

And who can blame them?

If I were a cop these days I'd be incredibly leary of anything to do with black people.

Far better to wait until someone is murdered and then deal with the aftermath than try to prevent it and end up the victim of a spurious race claim.
