dollars worth of damage. and to mark martin luther king day, boston has unveiled a bronze sculpture to celebrate the life of the the civil rights leader, but its not universally popular. tonight with the context, the democratic strategist mary anne marsh and the writer and broadcaster chris morris. hello welcome to the programme. when david carrickjoined london s metropolitan police in 2001 he was already a criminal suspect in a domestic abuse case. the vetting procedure failed. not once but throughout a career that spanned 20 years. in the two decades he was an officer, later becoming a fire arms officer, the met and three other police forces received 1a complaints. seven of them involved allegations of criminal or predatory behaviour towards women. he was not re evaluated for 16 years, and even then incidents were not given the attention they should have been. today he was unmasked as one of britain s worst ever serial rapists, admitting 71 sex offences. pleading guilty t
others to actually just flourish and thrive. there is a silent majority of that endorses people like him. the system in the process is broken. the system in the process is broken. the misconduct process, the vetting process, the recruitment process, hence this individual has been allowed to join hence this individual has been allowed tojoin a hence this individual has been allowed to join a forest, move departments without actually being detected. now, the review is interesting because the reviewer identified the that those investigating misconduct in gross misconduct are unable to distinguish that. she also actually identified in the review that to those that are investigating this misconduct don t understand what misogyny is or predatory behaviour. so therefore people are able to navigate their way around the system, and this is a classic case of what casey has identified. i

downgraded to bullying or the, that s just a prison s character. bullying is against the law, misogyny breaches the equalities act, so therefore in policing and particularly my experience of the met has been it is more palatable for them to accept bullying, yet the impact of bullying in the workplace and the victim is immense. i just and the victim is immense. i ust checked before i and the victim is immense. i ust checked before i i and the victim is immense. i ust checked before i bring and the victim is immense. i ust checked before i bring in i and the victim is immense. i ust checked before i bring in the h and the victim is immense. ijust checked before i bring in the pan on this committee inspectorate said officers are being allowed to transfer to other forces, despite the history of complaints and allegations of misconduct. do you think that was evident in this case? could it have been spotted in the transfer process? transfer process? absolutely. but that comes trans
perfect process, but if the culture is corrupt perfect process, but if the culture is corrupt and the process isn t followed. is corrupt and the process isn t followed, it doesn t matter and that is what followed, it doesn t matter and that is what we followed, it doesn t matter and that is what we have here. a followed, it doesn t matter and that is what we have here. is what we have here. a similar debate on is what we have here. a similar debate on two is what we have here. a similar debate on two sides. is what we have here. a similar debate on two sides. i - is what we have here. a similar debate on two sides. i debate i debate on two sides. i debate that runs and runs. let s move on. the united states is on public holiday, remembering the life of martin luther king jr. the civil rights leader was shot and killed 55 years ago on the balcony of the lorraine motel in memphis, this would have been his 94th birthday. in a ceremony in washington, president biden honoured
