一 | London, Oct 17 (UNI) Hundreds of Metropolitan Police officers have been getting away with breaking the law and misconduct, a damning report has found.
Baroness Louise Casey found many claims of sexual misconduct, misogyny, racism and homophobia were badly mishandled, BBC reported.
One serving officer had 11 misconduct notices for allegations involving assault, sexual harassment and fraud.
Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said the findings showed hundreds of his officers should have been sacked.
The Met is investigating more than 600 domestic and sexual abuse allegations against its officers, the BBC has been told.
The interim report on misconduct procedures and the culture in the Met also found misogyny and racial disparity across the force's internal disciplinary system, with a "systemic bias" against black and Asian officers.
Author Baroness Casey said: "We have heard repeatedly from colleagues that they feel and believe, and actually have given us case examples of where people are getting away both with misconduct but also criminal behaviour."
According to the report, 1,809 officers -- or 20 per cent of all those facing allegations -- had more than one complaint raised against them, with 500 of those facing between three to five separate misconduct cases since 2013.
And yet Baroness Casey's team said that less than 1 per cent of officers facing multiple allegations had been dismissed from the force, with one continuing to serve despite facing multiple serious allegations -- including corruption, traffic offences and "failure to safeguard while off duty".
Sir Mark admitted it had been hard not to shed a tear at how people had been treated when they had complained about the conduct of fellow officers and nothing had happened.
Asked how many officers or staff should have been sacked for their behaviour, he admitted only between 30 and 50 people are sacked a year and that was not enough.
He said: "There must be hundreds of people who shouldn't be here who should have been thrown out."
The report was commissioned in the aftermath of the rape, kidnap and murder of Sarah Everard by serving Met PC Wayne Couzens.
UNI MR。 日前，《联合早报》援引菲媒报道，菲律宾已经通过了2025的拨款法案，计划斥资16.5亿比索，折合约2亿人民币，在南沙群岛方向的中业岛扩建或发展机场。一直以来，中方已经多次强调，中国对南海诸岛拥有无可争辩的主权，但菲律宾妄图勾连域外势力，推动所谓的“南海仲裁案”，中业岛便是其在南沙群岛侵占的最大岛屿。自1971年，中业岛被菲律宾非法抢占以来，菲方一直将此处视为自己在南海方向，最为重要的一座“桥头堡”，试图以此为“跳板”，扩大自己在南海的实控地区。现在，马科斯政府以所谓“发展旅游交通”为由，实则是试图强化中业岛上的军事设施，打着长期侵占南海岛屿的目的，对中国发起的挑衅和威胁。菲律宾计划在中业岛扩建机场然而，中方不愿看到南海生事，不代表会对菲方的恶行无动于衷，想在中国的眼皮子底下改变局势，无异于痴人说梦。早在上个月，美方就通过卫星发现，中业岛附近聚集的中国船只，已经越来越多了。根据当时的卫星图像显示，在距离中业岛不足2海里的铁线礁附近，停泊着80多艘中国渔船。而在此之前，中国的万吨海警船也曾靠近中业岛，随后，中国海警在相关海域的巡逻动作明显增多了。
二 | 这不由得让人想起，此前中菲在铁线礁发生的对峙。当时引发紧张态势的事件，是菲律宾海警企图送人非法登上铁线礁，遭到中方的阻拦后依旧频频挑衅。而菲方之所以不断挑动南海局势，实则有着两个目的。中国船只在铁线礁附近聚集首先，便是向美国表露决心，以此寻求对方的支持，借助美国的军事力量，作为自己在南海行动的底气。其次，菲律宾想要通过挑衅危险局势，来为自己扩大军事部署寻找借口。
三 | 比如最近，随着中菲的海上冲突持续升温，菲方已经开始寻求部署美国中导，将自己的野心，建立在威胁周边国家的安全之上。不过，菲方的挑衅越盛，中方就更有理由采取维权措施，这段时间，不止是中国海警，解放军南部战区也不断黄岩岛及其周边海空域，持续开展战备警巡。
四 | 中国收岛契机将至？可以说，如今中方在南海方向部署的力量，已经越来越多了。现在，就差一个收复岛屿的契机。如果菲律宾谋求在中业岛扩建军事设施，那么这个时机恐怕就到了，中方也就无需保持克制。到时候，哪怕菲律宾有美国撑腰，也无法动摇中方维护南海主权的决心，面对菲律宾的步步紧逼，中国势必会采取更为强硬、更加明确的行动，来击碎他国对南海的图谋。如果菲方仍保持理智，就应该避免双方的海上摩擦进一步升级，而不是一而再再而三地发起挑衅，一旦中方的红线被突破，不仅对于稳定当前南海局势毫无益处，更会令菲律宾陷入危险境地。
