The “racially harmful” metropolitan police who inflicted on black people are “institutionally protected”, with the leadership of this force from real change, found an internal review.
Dr Shereen Daniels’ report, published on Friday, draws on internal documents and evidence, which the meeting responded to by accepting long-standing evidence of racism and discrimination within Britain’s biggest force.
Daniels told the Guardian Review that the first of the “anti-black” institutional focus on an individual scandal “is inevitable that the design of the force” makes it a bad reoccurring injury “.
The report, called 30 patterns of damage, comes two years after the termination of the inquiry by Louise Casey, which found that the Commissioner refused to accept, while accepting the system’s failures.
The report says: “The anti-black consequences of policing are not random. They are constructed.
In the main stop-and-frisk stop and search found that the reasons cause pain in the black community and said that suspicion is the beginning. “The Met doesn’t wait for mistakes. It waits for justification,” it said.
Tactics of force and coercion are used more against black people than white people. The report says that “stop and search the roads at the checkpoints” and that the location of the treatment of “blackness itself as a possible cause”.
Daniels said of her report: “It examines the institution itself, showing how the Met’s systems, governance, leadership and culture produce racial harm, whilst simultaneously protecting the institution from reform. This is not an account of individual incidents but a diagnosis of the structures that make racial harm a consistent recurring pattern.”
Daniels said the encounter has an “advanced repertoire” to avoid change. His report is the latest in a long line of questions that have been criticized and met with little or no reform.
It was in 1999 that Macpherson reported on the failures left by Races Stephen Lawrence killers without finding that the force was plagued by institutional racism.
In the report, Daniels criticized the Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, for refusing to use the term “institutional racism”, claiming it was political and vague.
The report says: “This is why political clarity, and the power to name evil is surrendered to institutional comfort.”
Daniels added: “This entire body of work demonstrates how institutional racism operates in practice. It traces how racial harm becomes built into systems, behaviors and leadership norms that normalize discrimination and protect the organization from consequence. The question is no longer whether the Met can say the words, but whether it can change the cultural, leadership and operational conditions that make those words true.”
In October revelations emerged of racism and misogyny at the meeting after an undercover BBC investigation into Creat Cross.

But Daniels told the Guardian the scandal is far from isolated:
Rowley, now three years into his five-year term, in which he has pledged wholesale reform, said: “Dr Daniels’ report is powerful. It calls out that further systemic, structural, cultural change is needed. I asked for a review focused on the Met and black communities which challenges us to go further in becoming an actively anti-racist organization. London is a unique global city, and the Met will only truly deliver policing by consent when it is inclusive and anti-racist.
“Initiatives Like A New Meeting for London And the action plan in London action in London is helping us to progress. The level of trust in the Black Londoners report found that it has improved – by 10% in two years – but is still being kissed on the back by others.
“What we expect is that the leaders will drive this change in their teams and they will be accountable to the individual, our commitment is directed to the non-members of the non-members.”
But the National Black Police Association said that the Commissioner himself is a block to change the abuse, instead of progress and confidence in black officers, with confidence in black officers, the staff of black officers, continues to decline.
“The Commissioner made a pilgrimage to himself, surrounded by individuals who assured him that the progress made in the structures that continue to account for the Service.”
A spokesman for the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, who chaired the meeting, said: “Clearly there are systemic issues that have not been tackled.
“The mayor is clear that Sir Mark and his senior leadership need to reframe their approach to accelerate the pace of cultural reform and deliver the necessary structural change across the force.”
