Ch Insp Andy George, president of the National Black Police Association, is under investigation following a tweet criticizing the promotion of a firearms officer, raising concerns about racial inequality in police disciplinary actions. His comments were prompted by the case of Martyn Blake, who was acquitted of murder but promoted, while Black and Asian officers often face harsher scrutiny. George claims that his investigation signals a broader issue of silencing voices that advocate for fairness and accountability, further entrenching existing racial inequalities within policing.
Ch Insp Andy George stated that the misconduct investigation against him stifles free speech and sends a chilling message regarding racial disparities in policing.
