This is one of the *best* posts I've read here recently. You answered my question in such a way that I think not only has it educated/helped me, but anyone else reading this. 

How much of this is through your own personal experience, or of those close to you ?

AND, I thought Police encounters nowadays all involve them having a bodycam ?

Yeah. Thing about that is any time they do something horrible it's turned off or malfunctions. Even with freedom of information act requests here, you can file it...that incriminating video isn't surfacing though. It's corrupted. ...the video that is...

Been more than a month, no update to what's happening, but WMP seem to be full of 'wrong uns' - there might be a high threshold for getting justice if what is alleged to have happened, happened to the Singh.

Sacked - Disgraced West Midlands police officers who have lost their jobs

Sexual advances and assaults among reasons for dismissals

Eighteen West Midlands Police officers were sacked from the force over the last two years as dozens more faced disciplinary action, new figures have revealed.

Another nineteen former officers would have lost their jobs were they still with the force.

 
 
Officers were hauled before disciplinary panels for a range of indiscretions including making sexual advances towards vulnerable victims and assaults.

 

 

Most were able to keep their jobs in the force, instead receiving punishments such as demotions and final written warnings.

But the actions of some officers were deemed to be so serious by force chiefs they were sacked.

 

The data has been published in a new report and it comes at a time when police forces are under intense scrutiny following the murder of Sarah Everard by Met officer Wayne Couzens in London earlier this year.

Eighteen West Midlands officers have been dismissed without notice since 2019. A further nineteen former officers "would have been dismissed" were they still serving with the force.

Thirteen officers were issued with final written warnings and another 13 a less serious written warning. One officer was demoted to a lesser rank while 11 others were given 'management advice'.

CID officer Kelly Morris was sacked and handed a suspended jail sentence in July for helping her boyfriend avoid arrest for a serious assault.

In May 2020, 'officer of the year' Pc Dave Humpherson was dismissed for sending an explicit photo to a woman he met while on duty.

Police staff have also gotten themselves into trouble, with 11 sacked during the same period. Nine were given a final written warning and five a first written warning. Another nine former employees "would have been dismissed".

Cop in gross misconduct probe as seven officers investigated over Sikh head covering furore

West Midlands Police officer allegedly 'forcibly removed' man's covering while he was in custody at Perry Barr

A West Midlands Police officer is being investigated over alleged gross misconduct after claims a Sikh man's head covering was "forcibly removed" while he was in custody in Birmingham.

The force watchdog said six officers were also being examined over misconduct allegations for "failing to challenge the officer’s use of force and treatment of the man".

The probe was launched by the Independent Office for Police Conduct after an incident at Perry Barr custody suite in October.

All seven officers facing investigations into their actions were said to have been in the suite at the time, the IOPC said. But it stressed that misconduct proceedings would not automatically follow. Details of the incident were previously made public but now the organisation has detailed the allegations facing the officers.

Regional director Derrick Campbell said: “Our investigation is still very much ongoing with notices served on seven officers who were all in the custody suite when the incident is said to have happened.

 

“The notices advise the officers that their conduct is subject to investigation because there is an indication they may have breached police standards of professional behaviour.

"However, it does not necessarily mean misconduct proceedings will follow. It is only once our investigation is complete that we will make decisions about whether or not the officers have a case to answer and should face disciplinary proceedings.

“We continue to keep the complainant updated as our investigation progresses.”

Assistant Chief Constable for Local Policing, Richard Baker, met with the victim of the alleged misconduct last month to apologise on behalf of West Midlands Police.

There was uproar when details of the claim surfaced, with a video - later confirmed as false by the IOPC - said to show the man's head covering being 'stamped on' by officers.

Mr Baker said: "This investigation remains with the IOPC and it will be some time before we know the final outcome.

"We do not underestimate the impact this has had on the man as well as the Sikh community, both locally and further afield.

"I would like to acknowledge the valuable support of our Sikh police officers who provided a perspective to this sensitive case. I'm also grateful for the ongoing input from the numerous community groups and individuals who are assisting West Midlands Police to improve the experiences of people going through our custody suites.

"We are committed to treating everyone with dignity and respect and we continue to strive for better relationships with the communities we serve."

Seven WMP officers given “misconduct notice” for Sikh hate crime

December 24, 2021/in News /

A statement from the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) confirmed that a West Midlands police officer behind a hate crime against a Sikh man has been issued with a “gross misconduct” notice, whilst six more have been given a “misconduct notice”.

The statement comes months after the original incident took place in October, which saw a Sikh man issue a complaint about having his patka (religious head covering) removed and stamped on by officer Kashif Shafiq. The news of the misconduct notices was originally revealed by Sikh Youth UK (SYUK), a community activist group supporting the Sikh man at the centre of the incident.

Despite the findings, IOPC Regional Director, Derrick Campbell said the misconduct notice given to seven WMP officers “does not necessarily mean that misconduct proceedings will follow. It is only once our investigation is complete that we will make decisions about whether or not the officers have a case to answer and should face disciplinary proceedings.”

Whilst the outcome of the IOPC investigation continues, questions are arising as to why the video and audio footage of the incident has not been shared publicly, to provide clarity on what exactly happened. Sikh Press Association Senior Press Officer Jasveer Singh said of the latest update, “To end questions about what occurred, WMP could simply share footage from the cameras worn by the officers involved in the incident. At some point, especially in consideration of the outcome of the investigation, the footage will need to be revealed.”

With this update, many are wondering why the Metropolitan Police are yet to give any update on complaints about one of their officers punching a Sikh man in the face in an unprovoked attack during last year’s #FarmersProtest #KisaanRally in London, which legal group Kaurs Legal have pushed for.

Officer served gross misconduct notice over Sikh man’s head covering uproar


Posted On December 23, 2021

Seven officers have been served misconduct notices following an incident where a Sikh man’s turban was said to be forcibly removed.

The incident took place on October 25 when the Sikh man (we will call him Mr Singh) was apprehended for minor traffic offences in the West Midlands region.

West Midlands PC Kashif Shafiq was accused of carrying out the religiously-motivated hate crime of allegedly forcibly removing Mr Singh’s turban.

He said: “I am happy that the IOPC is communicating with me openly and honestly. It is appreciated from my side and I cannot thank the Sikh community enough for the support they have given me.”

Jas Singh, Advisor to the Sikh Federation (UK) also addressed the events. He said: “We welcome both the investigation and verdict of the IOPC into the inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour of the West Midlands Police officers at Perry Barr station.

“The whole Sikh community were outraged to hear about the racial attack and desecration of a young Sikh man’s turban and Patka.

Gurmel Singh, Supreme Sikh Council UK, said:

“Based upon experience there is a clear perception in the community that there is a lack of Sikh awareness amongst officers particularly when it comes to visiting homes. Gurdwaras on policing matters .The custody suite has its own challenges . This is now a real opportunity for  the WMP to reach out to credible representative Sikh organisations to discuss a way forward.”

Assistant Chief Constable for Local Policing, Mr Baker said:”This investigation remains with the IOPC and it will be some time before we know the final outcome.

“We do not underestimate the impact this has had on the man as well as the Sikh community, both locally and further afield.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
