West Midlands Police Scandal

It's rather worrying when police rely on AI and Facebook for "evidence".

Sp. Shahbana not Shahmima

He is being 'allowed to retire' after admitting evidence was fabricated

'A scathing report by Sir Andy Cooke, His Majesty’s chief inspector of constabulary, found the force had fabricated and retrofitted misleading intelligence, given false statements about Israeli fans, overstated claims of disorder abroad and failed to properly engage with the Jewish community'

'Officers wrongly claimed Maccabi fans had thrown people into a river, that 5,000 Dutch police were deployed at a fixture, and that hundreds of supporters had links to the IDF – none of which was supported by evidence.'

'Sir Andy said the force showed confirmation bias, inflating isolated incidents into claims that Israeli fans targeted entire Muslim communities.'

'The scandal deepened when Guildford admitted his officers had used AI-generated misinformation, including bogus social media posts about a non-existent Maccabi Tel Aviv vs West Ham match, to justify the ban'.

By agreeing to retire he will retain his pension.

Good! Shamima Mahmood was right to state she no longer had any confidence in him.

Are you saying that all the evidence was fabricated Oreo because I don't think it was.

Oh has he gone, that was inevitable but I am relieved.
