Are the Criminal Police Class Bonded by Drugs, Abuse, Misogyny and Rape?
And if so, what's the solution?
On the 30th September 2024 the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) announced that four officers and a police staff member will face disciplinary proceedings following investigations into alleged failures by the Metropolitan Police to take appropriate action after serious criminal allegations were made against David Carrick.
David Carrick is a serial rapist and former police officer who worked for the Met Police.
He joined the police force in 2001 and worked as an armed officer in the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection (PaDP) branch from 2009 until his suspension and subsequent sacking from his position in 2021.
He was reported eight times to police but no action was reportedly taken until his arrest in 2021.
Ian Gould is a solicitor and specialist in claims against the police and other public authorities. On the 15th of July he posted the following on X the platform formerly called Twitter:
A shocking catalogue of abuse of Police powers - which again demonstrates why those powers must always be kept under close scrutiny." Linking to a BBC article with headline: South Wales Police Office Ben Cook jailed for burglaries
The report starts, A corrupt police sergeant has been jailed for burglary, after he stole a safe which he thought contained £60,000. Ben Cooke, 34, also tried to burgle another house and used the police computer to plan his crimes in January and February 2024.
I'd been following Ian’s work and reading his blogs for a while but this was the first time I felt compelled to comment, saying the following:
It may be just my timeline, but I get a daily stream of stories about police officers across the country who are drug dealers, rapists and thieves. I agree, close scrutiny needed and perhaps a presumption of guilt.. This was just yesterday...
'Met rape detective who was sacked over accusations he made sexual advances on victims and offered cocaine to women at swingers orgies dies at HMP Wandsworth less than a week after being charged with misconduct'
This detective turns up again a couple of months later as he killed his wife: Disgraced Met detective inspector, 54, 'drugged his wife so men at swinging parties could rape her' - before her body was found in a blood-drenched hotel room in Barbados
David Challen is a Domestic Abuse Campaigner. This helms from his mother, Sally Challen being in a destructive coercive control marriage, which resulted in Sally’s Law: – People that kill a partner after years of domestic abuse and violence, will now be treated more leniently under new reforms
On the same day, the 15th July, David wrote,
A Wiltshire police officer has been sacked for "disgusting" sexually inappropriate actions towards a colleague.
James Aubrey was alleged to have acted in a sexually inappropriate manner towards a colleague + made sexual contact w/her without her consent.
Linking to another BBC report
To which I commented, See what I mean? It's daily.
Two days later on the 17th July, Ian Gould wrote,
Yet another Police Officer stands accused of seeking to exploit a victim of crime for sex.
Sam: Every. Single. Day.
Three days later Craig in England/@ghost_wales wrote,
The force also said the officer could not be named at this stage "for legal reasons". Leicestershire Police has also not published the officer’s gender, nor whether their arrest led to any charges.
A Leicestershire Police constable who was arrested in connection with alleged offences relating to indecent images of children now faces a gross misconduct hearing. The officer in question is a 'Special', which means they are a volunteer who has the same powers as regular police officers.
Sam: Incredibly disturbing that not a day goes by without more evidence of widespread criminality within the police forces
The following day:
Ian Gould: Often exploitative #Police Officers try to take advantage of vulnerable victims of crime for sex. Here, it appears the officer was interested in her money.
Clicking on the link I read that, PC Thapa used his policing position to form an inappropriate emotional relationship with a vulnerable member of the public and knew full well he was in line to significantly benefit financially from her will.
Later that day, Michael Morgan wrote that,
A Met Police officer PC Ridhwaan Zina, has been sacked after he had sex with a trainee officer. They tried to rent a room but didn’t have enough money, so had sex on the ground in a back street near King’s Cross. On. The. Ground. Urgh, brother urgh…
Finding more detail I wrote: PC Ridhwaan Zina had been appointed as a street duties tutor within the Met, with a strict warning against sexual contact with junior colleagues.
It was on the 24th July, nine days after I first noticed this trend that I posted the following,
A police sergeant accused of raping a female officer told his victim in a text message "it's not rape if you enjoy it at the end", a court heard.
Sgt Richard Heard, 44, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of rape and three counts of voyeurism.
That same day Tristan Kirk (Journalist of the Year x 2) wrote
A Met Police officer appears in court on sexual assault charges. There's no reporting restriction on his name. Yet the court lists him like this...
I followed up by saying ‘Sometimes a couple or more times a day...’
Two days later I wrote that a,
Met police officer stole money from dead man after he collapsed in street #PoliceCrimeDaily
And the Police Crime Daily hashtag was born.
Since then I have posted links to numerous reports and asked founder of The Trans Agenda, Lee Hurley if he would do the same.
Yesterday in frustration after I read a particular nasty case of child abuse by a police officer.
A serving police officer has been charged with a number of child sex offences. Inspector Thomas Kettleborough, 35, was arrested on suspicion of arranging or facilitating the commission of a child sex offence in July 2023. Which followed another particularly nasty case the day before reported by the BBC .
A police officer who sent messages which said he was "attracted" to underage girls and described "rape fantasies" has been sacked. PC Payne-Humphries also sent a photo of his genitals to the woman he had taken in the toilet while on duty
…I appealed to some journalists who's twitter handles I remembered, saying,
OK, is some journalist with a salaried job going to write about these reports and hashtag or no? Bar, a short break in August, I have posted on the #PoliceCrimeDaily hashtag EVERY DAY for 3 months @VikramDodd @shattenstone @maybulman @venetiamenzies @kirkkorner @AmyClareMartin
What's particularly interesting to me at least, is if you treat them as a class, the one thing that binds all these serving and non-serving police officers who are from police forces all around the country is their criminality and misogyny. I.e 'the criminal police class.’
I don't think it could be more timely considering the Chris Kaba verdict yesterday. Thinking about it, it would be a very good story for a data journalist to pursue.
I had a reply (deflection or really just missing the point ) from journalist of the year Kirk Korner
And a DM from Venetia. I won't ask again.
At this point I have a load of quantitative data, in the loosest sense. I’d need a statistician to crunch the numbers for me. Dan Davies time to team up again?
So here is a selection of articles Lee and I have posted on X the platform formerly known as Twitter in the last few months. And an attempt at a solution…
Please note that these are all male police officers (one female) who have either been charged and/or imprisoned for their crimes, or sacked for misconduct.
We posted this reports every day bar a couple of weeks then I was dealing with hacking and surveillance detailed here and here.

So what does this all mean? I'll tell you what it means to me. I'm an ethnographer by chance and an investigator by trade thus study people and identify groups or what I call classes. E.g the Columnist class and the Professional Black class. Sometimes there’s no need to class people, for example the Genocidal Israeli Society.
With this quantitative attempt at a data set I can confidently state that there is a Criminal Police Class.
Now this is a class that has far more weight and consequences than either of the classes I mentioned above. So what is to be done? How can these men (and one woman) be prevented from doing their crimes? How can we identify more? Where there's 100, there may be 1000 more.
The ongoing Spy Cops inquiry which has exposed misogyny, and abuse including coercive control is one method.
But there will be no accountability for the perpetrators plus it doesn't address the police officers, and detectives in the numerous police forces covered by the above e.g Gloucestershire, Avon and Somerset, and the London Met to name just a few.
It also doesn't address the widespread criminality that was identified by Sky News and others in Greater Manchester Police (GMP) force last year and this year. The Baird inquiry is as similarly toothless as the Spy Cops inquiry.
I don't have a solution, but if they want to use the tools of the State against the State, they might employ some prison psychologists, Prison Offender Managers and the Parole Board to assess risk.
Now that most of them are no longer police officers they can be treated like the rest of. For example if they were Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) prisoners they would never get out of prison. But that seems only to happen to working class men and women who stole mobile phones and broke plant pots,whilst their crimes are objectively much more serious.
Nonetheless I will keep posting links on the hashtag as long as I am using X the social media platform formerly called Twitter or until I am arrested.
If you have any solutions, put them in the comments.
Have a great week.
P.S I know there is going to be some non-black women and/or middle class women who try to take my experiences and use them as their own. Trust me, I will hunt you down if you do and you will catch these hands.
