Reply to comment by johnn48 in Met Police says two to three officers will face charges every week for months by SmokeSinseLoud

The UK police are not militarised and are actually underfunded. They're also required to use bodyworn video and in the UK the police aren't allowed to lie like they are in the US. In fact, several of the officers being charged are being charged for dishonesty. The UK police still need improving, hence the ones being charged, but you can't apply American issues to Britiain.

Obviously I’m not conversant in the problems you face in the UK. Unfortunately this isn’t the UK version of Reddit, so I’m forced to apply my American perspective of Law Enforcement to the headline. So when Sir Mark expressed his views on the level of integrity he expected, it struck a chord.
