*THREAD ON INSTITUTIONAL RACISM IN THE MET & WHY CRESSIDA DICK SHOULD RESIGN FOR NOT RECOGNISING IT*
I chaired a meeting w/ Cressida & YP. She heard YP had no trust in her - the meeting was nothing more than a PR stunt & NOTHING CHANGED! https://twitter.com/JermainJackman/status/1062078873624547329

. @metpoliceuk lied and then got found out that they illegally shared people's data with firms and partners to aid in the facial recognition roll out in Kings Cross - a system that is 80% inaccurate while discriminating against women and Black people. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-49586582
The Gang Matrix: a racially discriminatory system that stigmatises young black men for the music they listen to or the neighbourhood they live in.
This matrix was sharing data with housing and education services impacting the lives of innocent people! https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/met-police-take-1-000-names-off-gangs-list-after-racism-claim-8mdl6jnkl

Such a sick and sad story. Met police officers took selfies with the bodies of two Black women. How does this service and its officers view Black people? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-england-london-53198702
Stephen Lawrence's father: Police still institutionally racist.
Dont event get started about the McPherson Report but the reforms promised following that report have not be kept thus making the Met STILL INSTITUTIONALLY RACIST https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/stephen-lawrence-father-police-still-intitutionally-racist-a4464476.html

Not only are ethnic minority police staff paid substantial less than their white counter parts but senior officers on salaries of ÂŁ100,000-plus were white https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/jan/19/met-police-race-pay-gap-widens
... 
Just to highlight some of the lived experiences of Black people in London. We can't even go on a bike ride without being harassed by an institutionally racist organisation https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/jun/28/black-teenager-on-family-cycle-ride-injured-during-aggressive-police-arrest
EVEN YOUR OWN HEAD OF DIVERSITY has said the Met still treats black people worse than white people on the street and blights the careers of its own ethnic minority staff by racially discriminating against them... https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/jun/14/race-failures-damaging--police-says-top-met-officer
Then you have the National Lead on Race and Religion for the Police saying you're not doing enough to change it from the service that handled the Stephen Lawrence case. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/apr/18/police-too-slow-to-change-after-stephen-lawrence
Let me not even start with the disproportionate deaths in police custody and the disproportionate use of excessive force on ethnic minorities, because that can be a whole other thread in itself https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/oct/06/six-police-cleared-over-death-of-man-restrained-in-london-hospital-olaseni-lewis
Given the clear and consistent evidence of serious failings, discrimination and institutional racism, I am angry at the sheer arrogance of Cressida Dick. Her comments are a complete dismissal of the facts and realities of so many Londoners

@SophieKLinden @LibPeck @pritipatel
My question is to @SadiqKhan, how do you expect to fix the problem of racism when Cressida doesn't believe the problem even exists?
. @SadiqKhan @SophieKLinden @LibPeck
Cressida needs to resign or you need to sack her, dont really care how its dont but the replacement must be someone who is prepared to radically reform the @metpoliceuk into a service and not a force!

Her comments are unacceptable and insensitive given the current climate regarding racism!
