A damning report has found institutional racism, misogyny, and homophobia in the Metropolitan Police - and suggested the force could be broken up if it fails to improve. Met Police Commissioner, Mark Rowley, accepts the findings and systemic failings but says he won't use the term institutional. Officers provided the Review with harrowing testimonies of treatment by colleagues. Complaints were ‘likely to be turned against’ ethnic minority officers, with black officers 81% more likely to be in the misconduct system than white colleagues. Freezers storing victim rape kits were overfilled, and one broke down in a heatwave which meant that rape cases had to be dropped. The PM said trust in the police was hugely damaged, and the London Mayor said it was one of the darkest days in the 200-year history of the force but added it did not necessarily need to be broken up.
