It's fucking horrific, but the McSkimming case is very much beyond 'bad apple' territory into "how many others did McSkimming enable" and I'd be unsurprised if it reached beyond just the police as well, given the kompromat potential over him.

Still waiting for someone to publicly investigate what David Seymour knew about sex criminal Tim Jago and when.

If the person appointed to be the Inspector-General of Police isn’t a woman, it is very hard to see how they will even begin to command the trust and confidence of the public to tackle what is clearly a deeply misogynistic culture in the police.

They prosecuted the woman who made complaints against him. #nzpol
“Over a period of years, Lack said the woman attempted to report allegations of a serious physical, psychological and sexual nature by McSkimming, who was one of the most powerful police officers in the country.” #misogny #corruption

Police bosses ignored sex complaints against top cop, charged woman for 'revenge' emails instead
Suppressions fall away to reveal the full story of the downfall of a deputy police boss.

To be honest until we stop being disappointed and start getting angry that men can act in appalling and unacceptable ways without consequences, like, say, appointing people who have a demonstrable track record of unacceptable behaviour to Chair positions, extreme disappointment doesn’t mean much.

The absolute worst thing would be if anyone believed for a single moment that *any person *ever felt safe reporting sexual assault to the police.
And the police commissioner says:
"The absolute worst outcome of this would be if anyone did not feel safe in reporting sexual assault to Police, or did not think Police would listen and investigate thoroughly.
I want to reassure you that is not the case."
Yeah, right.

So many of us have those 1980’s memories.
The grimness of this year from a work perspective and politically has led me to step back from social media. I’ve been trying to find joy in small ways, listen to audio books do puzzles etc.
Until today I’m back, I need to know I’m not alone.
