How did this Police Officer rise to such a rank, with his past record?

Couldn't be anything to do with the colour of his skin could it?

I am not the only one to think this it has also been suggested on the media.

The guidance subsequently produced by the Association of Chief Police Officers repeatedly warns that facts are not relevant. It says that police victimisation takes place “whether or not the police are shown to be indifferent {to the plight of the victim]”. In short, if the victim feels he has been badly treated – or indeed anyone else does - and he says so, then he has and no investigation into the facts is necessary.

This is the atmosphere in which Dizaei prospered. So petrified were his bosses of accusations of racism that virtually anything he did was swept under the carpet. Among those (apparently unfounded) accusations against him:

Lying to police about where his car was when it was damaged (for which he was tried and acquitted of perverting the course of justice).

Falsifying mileage claims.

Advising a defence team on how to undermine a criminal prosecution.

Misusing his corporate credit card.

No other business would tolerate such behaviour by one of its employees. The toleration by senior managers in the Met was a direct result of their paralysis which was born out of their reaction to Macpherson.
