These police force are a total fiasco

These police force are a total fiasco. Seems they're not even police. Cause police are supposed to be decent and moral. But they've fall short of this. Everyday on the news is either the police are been sacked for a crime or watch dog is investigating them. Seems they're cursed or something. They should Repent and turn to God and stop arresting Christ preacher preaching the gospel. And yet will leave terrorist alone on the street preaching false religion. God is angry with the police force. Because they're full of hypocrisy and injustice.

Over zealous anti Jew police…

Just watched the met police arrest a Jewish man for shouting Capos this is clearly wrong when people make public speeches condemning Jews and apparently gets offended when Jews are offended by his words and show their offence by telling him he is betraying Jews. This is never a crime in this context in my opinion and it's no surprise that the reputation of the police is so bad.

met police in cahoots with dwp and housing association at benefit fraud and theft

SP-103852-24-0101-IRupdates: cin-80091-24-0100-000 (met police in cahoots with dwp and housing association at benefit fraud and theft) / the Met police is accomplice to benefit Fraud and Theft. Proof: it said ~"Fraud and Theft are a civil case" which is false, civil courts do not deal with penal cases. This lie has been uttered to cover up benefit Fraud and Theft committed by DWP in cahoots with a landlord association, in cahoots with the Met police evidently /You can dismiss the case as much as you like, I'm a 15 years experience human rights defender, pretty much a public investigator or state attorney / prosecutor and I'm coming for your criminal organization, I've had enough abuse /Theft and Fraud case is simple: /1. Old landlord refuses to refund my rent paid in advance after I moved /2. DWP paid old landlord too, so it has been paid twice /3. Old landlord does not return DWP's money, nor mine, nor is DWP inquiring to recover its money /4. DWP paid old landlord a month illegally also ignoring my change of circumstance (address), also apparently deleted my documents and lied I didn't provide enough documents, then contradicts itself saying my housing costs have been verified whatever that means but they're still looking at my landlord's banking details as if that's an issue, so clearly they're shifting aberrant excuses while refusing to do their job to cause Theft by Fraud /5. police lies felonies are civil matters, which is also Fraud, and complicity to the aforementioned Theft and Fraud for refusing to investigate and hand the culprits over to the prosecutor to be indicted, then convicted in a penal court

I reported an incident on November 2023 and the Police has told me that if they will search for the location of the suspect, because the location was not known and the Police said that they will take a statement from the suspect and they will arrest the suspect.I have found the location of the suspect and have provided it to the Police, they came and instead of arresting the suspect, they let her go without taking a written statement.I have called the police again 5 times at least as I knew were the suspect is, they said that they will arrest the suspect on the days when I called, but that was a lie as the Police hadn't even went there at the location.I don't really know what Met Police is doing and what they are dealing with, but from what can be seen, Met Police doesn't give a damn about aggravate assaults.
