So?

Reported today.
More than 70 officers currently serving in Britain's largest police force have criminal records, it emerged today.A total of 74 Metropolitan Police officers received either a criminal conviction or caution between 2000 and 2005 and were kept on by the force.
Now the vultures are gathering to feed on this information. All the usual suspects are l ining up to have their say - almost universally not in favour of this situation.
We heard about the ethnic mix and inclusion of gay and lesbian officers so that "the Service more closely reflects the community it serves". So, are there no people in the community who have offended and been dealt with?
And, these are 74 officers we know of. I would like attention to be paid to finding and dealing with the unidentified wrong-doers. There must be some. After all, as it's critics aver, the force has some wrong-uns amongst it's ranks. Reading the article, it is not as if we have Crime Barons and Mr Bigs doing the duty of constables. Looking at their leaders, some should be disposed of regardless of criminal proclivities.
