A former Metropolitan Police Detective Superintendent said she was "ashamed" that she was a police officer, as Britain's biggest police force was hit with claims of racism and misogyny after officers at a London police station were secretly filmed making racist comments and bragging about using violence.
Speaking to Newsnight on Thursday (2 October), Shabnam Chaudhri, who was one of the Met’s most senior female Asian officers, said she was "shocked to the core” by the BBC Panorama documentary. She added, "I so wanted to defend the Metropolitan Police, but I can't do that. It's sickening."
