Ex-Met Police Chief Isn't Woke Enough for Sky News

[TGS]

Drops some knowledge bombs and hard truths.

Guess the host didn't like hearing the truth.

Shocking, that. :rolleyes:

The chief that spoke in that clip reminded me, (attitude-wise), of virtually every copper from the Met I worked with or spent time around. I don't mean the racial politics, that was never a topic that came up...but the cut to the chase, deal with reality, stiff upper lip mentality. What a great bunch I was fortunate enough to have the privilege of working with.

The part where the interviewer angrily asks him if it’s appropriate to address the Black Lives Matter issues in such clearly racial terms may be the single best example I have seen to demonstrate just how Orwellian our language has become.

A couple of years left, those are the most satisfying realizations I've come to... daily, with the home team.
