‘This is not one bad apple; this is a systemic problem across policing’
Campaigners dump 1,071 rotten apples — one for each officer investigated over allegations of violence against women and girls — outside Scotland Yard
1,071 rotten apples outside New Scotland Yard, reflecting the number of Metropolitan Police officers who have been, or are currently, under investigation for allegations of domestic abuse or violence against women and girls
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
CAMPAIGNERS dumped 1,071 “bad apples” outside Scotland Yard this morning to highlight the scale of abuse allegations involving Metropolitan Police officers.
Charity Refuge said the apples reflect the number of officers who have been, or are currently, being investigated over allegations of domestic abuse or violence against women and girls.
The stunt comes in the wake of the conviction of former Met officer David Carrick after he pleaded guilty to dozens of rapes and sexual offences against 12 women this week.
