Thanks, Rachel, for sending in this article about the sanctions that officers face in the UK when found guilty of racial profiling.
As the article describes:
In the decade since the damning Macpherson Report, 120 Metropolitan Police officers have been found guilty of racist behaviour, but just one has been dismissed, figures reveal.
Despite the nature of the offences, only 12 officers received written warnings and 21 received disciplinary sanctions, statistics obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show.
Of the 21, eight had to pay a fine, six were forced to resign and there was the solitary dismissal.
The article goes on to illustrate the many forms that "institutional racism" takes in the Metropolitan Police.
