1. This is appalling

   “Bedfordshire police arrested Benson on suspicion of sexual assault on 6 November 2020, but in September 2021 *he was informed no further action would be taken*

   A Met police hearing concluded on Friday that he had breached the standard of professional behaviour at the level of gross misconduct, the force said.

   He was dismissed without notice and placed on the barred list held by the College of Policing”

2. Another Met cop abusing their authority out of some twisted kick? Truly, **shocking.**

3. Title is misleading and sounds like this occurred when he was on duty. The article clearly states that this is something that occurred outside of work.

4. What is it with The Met specifically that hire the dodgiest fucking people as officers?

5. That’s the thing though, I’m not saying it applies to everyone but people who seek power traditionally don’t think the same as people who are rational, like most people wouldn’t want to consider being a police officer, like if you sat down and thought about it all, the abuse from the public and the offenders, being scapegoated by the higher ups and the shit pay, you’d most likely not consider it a real option. 

   Hell that applies to most positions of power, id imagine Kier and most of our prime ministers who put their ideals before others are the same way inclined, its historic. 

6. He should be sentenced for that, not just sacked. Sick freak.

7. It’s Met Police aka Nonce Force. How come people are surprised by this?

8. It’s usually the ones who were bullied in school, the either turn into officious prats with a God complex or evil bastards
