This & That, Ceci et Cela

Brit journalist goes undercover as new cop and uncovers things like surprise, surprise, racism and prejudice are still alive and kicking strong.
Reporter Mark Daly faces criminal charges over his move to infiltrate recruits as part of the work to assess whether institutional racism still exists within police ranks.  He claims to have recorded racist comments made, including one officer saying he would kill an Asian officer “if I could get away with it”. Another officer is heard to say: “I’ll stop him cos he’s a Paki. Sad innit but I would.” Footage for the programme includes one officer dressing up in an improvised Ku Klux Klan hood. The allegations, which will be broadcast on BBC One on Tuesday, have led to four officers being suspended, three from GMP and one from North Wales Police.
