Learn from history, don't repe
The Police Association secretary, Paul Mullett, needs a lesson in history. The Spanish Inquisition, to which he likens the Office of Police Integrity, were the torturers. The inquisitors were the theological equivalent of the armed offenders squad and Torquemada was the secretary of the Spanish Inquisitors' Association.
That's a small point. The big question in the present confrontation between the OPI, the Chief Commissioner and the Police Association is who is going to win. And going on past form, we can safely place our bets on the association.

UK: Three Hampshire officers found guilty of misconduct
Three police officers have been found guilty of misconduct over their behaviour
towards a man in Portsmouth with mental health issues.
An Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) investigation heard they
knew his condition, but engaged in "inappropriate behaviour and comments".
The officers received final written warnings.
Deputy Chief Constable Andy Marsh said: "Their actions fell far short of the
standards we require."
The investigation heard four officers were called to the man's address in April.
A member of the public had become concerned for the man's welfare and all four
officers were made aware he had mental health issues on entering the house.
Two officers were found guilty of gross misconduct and one of misconduct.
IPCC commissioner Mike Franklin said: "These officers failed to act professionally
when called to assist a vulnerable man, leaving him in further distress. They have
rightfully been found guilty of misconduct."
Mr Marsh said the three officers' actions were "untypical" of the force as a whole.
"Protecting the most vulnerable people in our communities is paramount to
everything we do in Hampshire Constabulary," he added.
