London Metropolitan Police chief Cressida Dick resigns after series of scandals
CNN ^ | February 10, 2022 | Laura Smith-Spark,

It follows the publication last week of a damning report by the Independent Office for Police Conduct which revealed what it called a culture of misogyny and racism in the Metropolitan Police Service.

The report centered on nine linked independent investigations concerning serving police officers from the MPS mainly based at London's Charing Cross station. After finding several officers guilty of serious misconduct offenses, the report issued 15 recommendations "to change policing practice" in the UK.

The murder of 33-year-old marketing executive Sarah Everard in London last year by a serving police officer, and the Met's handling of a public vigil held in her memory, also rocked public trust in the force after scenes of grieving women being pinned to the ground by Met officers went viral.

Really? A head cop named Dick? If she was in charge of alcohol rules she would be a Likker Dick? That’
s so bleeping funny I couldn’t even laugh-—suffering from a limp condition? Trying to keep my attitude up.

I think I understand the Dick part. Now, the Cressida part is more interesting.

Wiki

Cressida (/ˈkrɛsɪdə/; also Criseida, Cresseid or Criseyde) is a character who appears in many Medieval and Renaissance retellings of the story of the Trojan War. She is a Trojan woman, the daughter of Calchas, a Greek seer. She falls in love with Troilus, the youngest son of King Priam, and pledges everlasting love, but when she is sent to the Greeks as part of a hostage exchange, she forms a liaison with the Greek warrior Diomedes. In later culture she becomes an archetype of a faithless lover.

Hmm.... Trojan woman and faithless lover.

Her little .icks shut down COVID mandate protests in London arresting organizers on the platform, shut down a Good Friday church service over COVID restrictions and cracked down on a vigil for the woman Sarah Everard who was raped and murdered by a cop known to be creepy.

Of course they said the vigil violated COVID rules.

“Hmm.... Trojan woman and faithless lover.”

So translated as what...a leaky condom’s trademark and a deadbeat soon to be a dad that can’t be found? LOL!
