London police force says it will take years to remove officers accused of corruption and misconduct

Hundreds of London police officers are facing dismissal as the department steps up efforts "to root out those who are corrupt" after a series of scandals eroded public trust and a scathing report found it was institutionally racist, homophobic and misogynistic.

      They don’t actually give a shit, it’s 100% lip service, which they are only paying now because one of their own committed such a heinous crime they have no choice but to “investigate themsleves” to appease people such as yourself and stop the justified calls for abolition (but as this article mentions, any actual action is many years away, by which point no one will actually notice any systemic change because there will be none)

          No, it wouldn’t make much sense. The government has beendefunding the police for a decade anyway.

      https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/15/us/politics/qualified-immunity-supreme-court.html

      Long and short: Qualified Immunity is illegal according to 1983 of the Federal Code according to the Congressional Record of 1871. It was illegally modified by one person in 1874 when it was “copied” into the Federal Register.

    Same in America probably because you have to replace everyone.

    So basically admitting that abolishing the police is the only viable solution.

    I saw CTV News and thought this was London, Ontario without doubting the headline for even a second…
