Further to the man arrested by the police after insulting a gay horse, i suggest we keep this topic as a suppository of police related idiocy, highlighting either thier unwitting stupidity, or the politically correct hogwash that inspires them to ever greater levels of idiocy.

Ill kick off with this;

A striking piece in the Telegraph by Leo McKinstry exposes the madness which appears to have overcome the Metropolitan Police as the result of its obsession with race and gender. The piece was triggered by a recent case in which three officers were investigated - and one of them suspended - after they were said to have made offensive anti-Muslim remarks in front of a female Asian officer during a race-awareness training course. After months of inquiry, the three were finally cleared of any wrong-doing, and the investigating officer, Tarique Ghaffur, said he ‘found it incredible that this matter was taken up’.

But there was, alas, nothing incredible about this at all given the institutional nervous breakdown in the Met over the issue of ‘diversity’ ever since it was tarred and feathered as ‘institutionally racist’ by the institutionally cretinous McPherson report. As McKinstry observes:

‘One sorry result of this neurosis about discrimination is the creation of a vast bureaucracy, which does nothing but waste resources. The Met is now awash with race units and equality action plans, all geared towards heightening the climate of grievance. So within the shambolic organisation there is a consultation, diversity and outreach unit; a diversity directorate that includes six separate diversity teams covering everything from age to sexual orientation; a diversity champion; an equal opportunities and diversity board; a positive action team; a lesbian, gay and transgender advisory group and a cultural and communities unit.

‘Today's senior London coppers might not be much use in defeating criminality, but they are superb at organising meetings and generating reports. They can talk like the most fluent pseudo-Marxist academic about "contextualised learning on race" and act like the most politically correct Blairite civil servant in demanding that "performance in respect of race and diversity be measured through a corporate measurement framework" or seeking to "facilitate the change process through the establishment of the development and organisation improvement team (DOIT)". Increasingly the Met resembles one of those extremist Left-wing councils of the 1980s.’

In those days, we all breathed a sigh of relief that at least those loony tune councillors couldn’t get control of the police. Who would ever have imagined that within twenty years, the looniest tunes would be played by the police themselves.

How about this from the Met. Police's free, in house newspaper, "The Job".
Front page spread headliner: (Re the 'witchcraft' pepper-in-her-eyes trial)."
"'Witchcraft' torture case highlights cultural differences" (!!!!)
Then some quotes:
"....has launched Project Violet, which forms part of a broad strategy to promote child protection in a range of contexts - addressing ritual and ritualistic child abuse is one strategy."
Det Supt Chris Bourlet of the Child Abuse Investigation Command said, "I am very clear the role of the Police is not to challenge beliefs but to safeguard children. We will investigate crimes against children where appropriate but our main concern is to stop child abuse in the first place." and "Multi-faith child protection protocols have already been sent out for consultation as a result of co-operation with partner agencies."
God forbid that anyone should challenge a belief :evil:

Quote:

The perception of the victim or any other person is the defining factor indetermining a hate incident. The apparent lack of motivation as the cause of an incident is not relevant as it is the perception of the victim or any other person that counts. The prejudice or hate perceived can be based on any identifying factor including disability, age, faith, sexual orientation, gender identity and race. A victim of a hate incident does not have to be a member of a minority group or someone who is generally considered to be vulnerable. For example, a heterosexual man who is verbally abused leaving a gay bar may well perceive that
it is motivated by homophobia although he himself is not gay. Therefore effectively anyone can be the victim of a hate incident, including people working inside the police service.

2.2.7 The deciding factor lies in the perception of the victim or any other person.

2.2.8 For data recording purposes the police are obliged to record hate incidents where the perception of the victim or any other person that the motivation for the prejudice or hate isbased upon:

l Race
l Sexual orientation
l Faith
l Disability
