No, WMP, You're Doing That Yourselves...

A policewoman who made up a story about transphobia in the workplace during a job interview for a promotion has been found guilty of gross misconduct.
Disgraced Sergeant Sarah Srivastava was given a final written warning after she lied that colleagues had discriminated against a transgender officer and that she had stepped in to challenge their behaviour.
During the misconduct hearing, the counsel for the West Midlands Police condemned Srivastava for bringing ‘discredit to the police service’ and for undermining ‘public confidence’ in the force.
...by not sacking her.

To think that once coppers were not even allowed to have an overdraft without permission (as it would have allowed a possibility of blackmail).

It's "cultyer" innit. Not my in group, no responsibility to or consideration for them whatsoever.

If this "officer" - proven liar - ever turned up in court to give evidence....to doubt would be waycist.
