Watchdog report: London police officers engaged in misogynistic, racist, discriminatory behavior

A 15-page report published Tuesday found “multiple concerning behavioral themes,” including discrimination, bullying and aggressive behavior, toxic masculinity, sexual harassment and misogyny. The incidents were widespread and not believed to be isolated or the behavior of a “few bad apples,” the report says. The probe, dubbed Operation Hotton, consisted of nine “linked independent investigations” of members of London’s Metropolitan Police Service, according to the report.
