Fears over race relations affected Manchester police probe into child sex grooming gang, report suggests
2020-01-16
[Independent] Investigation identified 57 potential victims and 97 suspects in Manchester ‐ but almost no action taken amid fears of inciting racial hatred
But now they are going to finish the investigations, then try, convict, and jail the guilty parties, followed by going after all those who refused to act in the first place, right?
Dozens of teenage girls suspected of being groomed and abused in Manchester by gangs of men from Asian backgrounds were failed because police feared upsetting race relations, a new probe has suggested.
Uh huh. And how long has justice been delayed?
Victims repeatedly alerted officers about sexual assaults, giving names and addresses of those involved, but, in almost all cases, no action was taken.

Now, a bombshell report suggests Greater Manchester Police and the city council shelved an investigation into what was happening at least partially because of the "many sensitive community issues" they felt faced with.

#10  My how the mighty have fallen. It's hard now to imagine England being the place the men such as Gen. Charles Napier was from. I feel certain he wouldn't have allowed such to go unpunished.

For those who don't know who he was, he was in India and seriously disliked the practice of burning widows alive.

"Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs."

#7  Overwhelmingly white and gutless. When the actual powers that run things tell you that certain ethic/religious groups are special and protected, and you see this that fighting this gets you culled from the force, you default to the Baltimore PD solution. Ride around taking reports and seeing nothing that threatens your pension.

#4  They should forbidden from every holding any government job ever again. They had one duty, to protect citizens and they did the opposite.

In a fair world the 57 victims should be given a cricket bat and a chance to take a few swings at bound government officials. In particular the social workers who's job was very specifically to take care of these kids, and the cops, who's job was very specifically to protect citizens.

The suspects should be tried, and if convicted should lose their citizenship, serve hard time in solitary with no chance of early parole.
