I'm an ex-cop from long ago and believe the UK forces are running very
badly.  The complaints' system doesn't work and the IPCC are poodles.
I asked a cop at an open meeting how he expected the bull he'd given
out on community policing to work when people just don't trust them
and officers lie to cover up ncompetence.  He had no real response.
AT this meeting, the venue of which was incorrectly advertised, embers
of the public were invited to tell the cops what policing they
wanted.  Hardly any real public was there and the time of around 9
cops was wasted.  Cops have lied dreadfully in a case involving me as
a victim, clearly lied at Stockwell over shouting 'armed police' (the
statistical chances of 17 independent witnesses all not hearing this
are almost nil) and regularly collude over statements.

I do not ask about anything good to say as a positive move.  I'm
wondering whether there is anything good to say?
