:05:16. > :05:20.his management. I was dismaxed to his management. I was dismayed to
:05:21. > :05:23.read the account this morning.. London's Mayor in charge of holding
:05:24. > :05:28.the met to account promised to look into the case. There is no doubt
:05:29. > :05:31.there are lessons to be learned What's even more interesting about
:05:32. > :05:35.this judgment is there was ` deliberate attempt by the Met to
:05:36. > :05:40.cover up an internal report that found PC Howard had in fact been
:05:41. > :05:46.discriminated against. The Detective Sergeant who wrote the report was

:06:03. > :06:07.of complaints almost tripled. But the Black Police Association said
:06:08. > :06:13.this latest case was worrying. I'm absolutely appalled and shocked that
