"...critics warned the move risked damaging public trust in the service."

To which one can only say 'What public trust..!?'
The Mail on Sunday has established that Britain’s biggest force is already recruiting those who have been on the wrong side of the law in a controversial attempt to increase race diversity.
See what identity politics has brought us to?
Keith Vaz MP, chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, said: ‘Those who join the police should be beyond reproach. Standards must be kept at the highest level.’
Ugh! I've been forced to agree with the oleaginous Vaz. I now have to shower for a month...

    So racial minorities are more likely to be found "on the wrong side of the law", are they?

    Therefore whoever came up with this unbelievably gormless idea is guilty of racial stereotyping and a probable "hate crime".

    Wonder if he or she will be done by the CPS for it?

    For the same reason anyone found guilty of a crime should lose their job and depending on the crime, their pension.

    Everyone involved in cases like the one regarding child protection should lose their jobs and their pension.

    The Met are in a mess with recruiting because BHH has declared he wants Londoners only to join. He's from Sheffield and five out of six of his management board are "outsiders".
    Wages have been cut and the train travel concession is not given to new starters.Coupled with very high house prices he must have realised that he has shot himself in the foot.
    His answer? Lower the standards yet again.

    It makes me so angry when senior police officers explain away wrongdoing by their officers with the phase "police officers are drawn from the community, so it is to be expected". No it fucking isn't. Police officers should be the ones with the strongest moral code. There should be a lesson in school listing all the things that a criminal conviction stops you doing, starting with being a policeman and ending with having a holiday in Orlando.

    A choice between two evils. On the one hand we have the existing legalised, unprincipled criminals already in uniform and on the other, new recruits who may possess some sense of morality.

    Could Mr Vaz be held to those same high standards too?

    Keith Vaz and highest standards do not go in the same sentence.

    K9 police are racist, they only hire German Shepherds. Hiring some Bedlington Terriers and Shitzus would help meet diversity targets. They are just as good.

    "The Met are in a mess with recruiting because BHH has declared he wants Londoners only to join. He's from Sheffield and five out of six of his management board are "outsiders"."

    Ahh, the public sector does love its 'do as we say, not as we do' philosophy...

    "It makes me so angry when senior police officers explain away wrongdoing by their officers with the phase "police officers are drawn from the community, so it is to be expected". No it fucking isn't. Police officers should be the ones with the strongest moral code."

    Spot on!

    "Keith Vaz and highest standards do not go in the same sentence."

    Quite!
