The Criminals in uniform – never mind those who remain unconvicted after they created victims

This Daily Mail article today gives me a sigh of relief for a change:

The criminals in uniform: Almost 1,000 officers with convictions from drug dealing to perverting justice are still in the police

• Two detective chief inspectors among 944 officers in England and Wales with a criminal record

• One officer found guilty of gross misconduct after sending racist and sexist texts is still in his job

• Hundreds of others facing misconduct allegations are allowed to escape punishment by quitting their forces

But there is still quite a difference to

• eight police officers and social workers storming the Musas’ flat in April 2010 to kidnap their children
• nine police officers and social workers coming to take their newborn baby from the mother’s breast, manhandling her violently
• police officers arresting the Musas and giving them a rough treatment while in custody
• police officers “welcoming” them with “you black criminals”…
• DC Sewart nearly stalking the supporters in court – presumably to give them a hard time – such as Maurice Kirk – after many other supporters had been intimidated, victimised and criminalised
• Bexleyheath Police being very keen to talk to me about finding Favour Musa – but when they saw the website, there was suddenly “another team” on the case…
