A women’s safety campaigner has said there is ‘no question’ there are more men in the Met Police ‘capable of the violence’ carried out by killer Wayne Couzens and serial rapist David Carrick.
She said the failure to act on the McPherson Inquiry which found the force institutionally racist in 1979 following the death of Stephen Lawrence provoked concern of how much change would come from the report.
‘Cressida Dick just wanted to call it bad apples or a one-off,’ she said. ‘At what point is it a rotten orchard? She called for the force to prioritise the treatment of women above spending money on increased firepower. Sir Mark Rowley said he was determined to tackle the issues raised in the report but declined to accept the conclusion the Met is institutionally racist, sexist and homophobic.
Sir Mark said that he could not reduce the risk of any bad officer being in the force to zero, following the cases of Couzens and Carrick.
