Officer Pander
The police are recording too many hate crime incidents and getting involved in disputes that include “hurt feelings”, the police watchdog has warned in a new report.
Selectively though. Always selectively. The hurt feelings of men who call themselves women matter; the hurt feelings of women do not.
The report was commissioned in September last year by Suella Braverman, when she was home secretary, after she said officers were pandering to politically correct causes, such as taking the knee.
And such as pretending that men who claim to be women are in fact women.
She ordered a new code of conduct, which came into effect in June, that introduced a higher threshold for the recording of NCHIs. Under the code, NCHIs would be recorded only if the incident was “clearly motivated by intentional hostility” and where there was a “real risk of escalation causing significant harm or a criminal offence”.
Despite the new guidance, the number of NCHIs recorded by the police has risen. Yvette Cooper, the home secretary, is planning to reverse the changes and restore requirements for police officers to record NCHIs in an attempt to crack down on the significant rise in antisemitism and Islamophobia since the October 7 attacks on Israel.
But not hatred of women. Never ever hatred of women.
The report found that some forces could not even distinguish between non-crime hate incidents and hate crimes. It said: “They record and attend more of these incidents than they need to.”
The report also found that police forces were allowing officers to wear rainbow lanyards, saying that in some cases it caused negative comments and perceptions among members of the public. However, it acknowledged it helped recruitment in areas with high numbers of LGBT people.
There are no “LGBT” people. That’s a meaningless category.
Meanwhile rape goes unprosecuted.
