This story simply underlines a darker part of human nature–screw everyone else, I’m gonna get mine. Also, I like the obligatory authority-mouthpiece quote at the end of the article is awesome:
Scotland Yard said: “[We] will not tolerate any behaviour by our officers and staff which could damage the trust placed in police by the public. We are determined to pursue corruption in all its forms and with all possible vigour. All such allegations and intelligence are taken extremely seriously.”
Those accusations are taken seriously unless they’re contained in reports dated within the last twenty years, I guess.
