Hidden? Sure, let’s go with that.
Hold up - “police” , “misogyny and racism”, and “hidden”? What fucking planet are you on?
ACAB.
The A in ACAB really does mean all
Or “are”, there are 2 A’s
It’s not quite fair, but certainly a good first order approximation. I’ve met a few decent cops along the way. I remember them because they’re few and far between.
I’m shocked. Shocked! Well, not that shocked. After all, I remember this case:
40% of police beat their spouses
The other 60% falsely deny it.
Please link to sources when throwing around claims like that. I don’t doubt you, but some will & they need to see it for themselves. Plus there’s the issue of how old that information is - anything like that which doesn’t have relatively recent evidence can be too easily dismissed as “outdated notions.”
Aaa AND you immediately got down voted for having a correct but unpopular opinion
This isn’t high-school debate class, and we’re not writing essays where we are required to use Harvard referencing for our sources. You have access to search engines, so use those first, and if you still can’t find anything, then consider improving your search skills, and as a last resort, ask for a source. Otherwise, STFU. People who nag about sources generally derail the discussion and don’t add any insight. Instead they add a predictable meta-discussion that obscures the topic.

I lived for over a decade in Britain as an immigrant and find it hilarious when Brits online tell me Britain has much less Racism that the rest of Europe.
The entire “anti”-Discrimination legislation over there is about punishing the overtly voicing of discriminatory statements not about stopping discriminatory practices: managing appearences, not “doing the right thing”, mirroring the dominant social practices amongst the middle and upper class English (who control modern day British politics) of favoring heavilly managing appearences instead of behaving morally.
My impression has always been that this approach to discrimination - basically, swipe it under the rug by cracking down of what is said rather than what is done - just make acting in racist and mysogynistic ways be more common rather than less.

What’s Met Police?
London Metropolitan Police, so the general police for most of London (not the City Of London, as that part has its own police force).
I say “general police” because there are specialist forces with police powers and London HQs, such as the Scotland Yard and the Serious Fraud Office.
London, England
To nobody’s surprise.
