The Met - policing London
Superb. Shows it just like it is. Doesn't dumb down like other "cop shows".
Fantastic episode tonight. In particular the Westminster team (CW) which my contact works in. Showed what I've been banging on about. Spending whole shifts trying to deal with the mentally ill. No health provision (Tory cuts) so police get lumbered. No cells to put them in (Johnson cutting stations in London when mayor), only Charing Cross left and it was full.
Female officer punched in face but mentally iĺl suspect not charged (pointless) and no provision available for her.
Cue repeat week after week. Meanwhile, not enoigh officers available to deal with actual criminals.
Now the public are heralding Johnson as the hero who wiĺl increase police numbers. Limited use if the other provisions aren't put in place but will get him votes. Utter p#ick.
Rant over.
