Mina Smallman: Unimpressed With Former Met Commissioner Cressida Dick And Glad She Went (Finally!)

Mina Smallman Is The Mother of Two Sisters, Bibaa Henry And Nicole Smallman, Tragically Murdered By A Demonic Madman In Fryent Park, Wembley, North London (Who Was Later Convicted of Murder And Sentenced To 35 Years Minimum In October 2021).


The So-Called ‘A Team’ Police WhatsApp Group


In Addition To Her Incalculable Loss She Later Discovered That Her Daughters’ Dead Bodies Were Desecrated By Two Police Officers Who Deliberately Disrespectfully Photographed Them And Shared Doctored Pictures of Them In A Police WhatsApp Group Called ‘The A Team’ (With Graphic Captions). They Were Subsequently Arrested Monday June 22nd 2020, Charged With Misconduct In Public Office (Which They Admitted), Faced A Met Police Tribunal In November 2021 For Gross Misconduct, Dismissed From The MET, And Eventually Jailed For Two Years Nine Months In December 2021.

Dick Only Apologized For The Outrage On The Friday (June 26th 2020) After When They Were Arrested On The Monday (June 22nd 2020). She Said:

“I don’t know all the details but if it is as it appears to be then it is shocking,” “It is disgusting and the whole of the Met would condemn what has happened here. If those officers’ actions have added to the families’ unimaginable distress, then I apologize from the bottom of my heart.”

She Never Met With The Smallman Family At That Time, Only Meeting Them After A Damning The Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC) Issued A Damning Report October 2021. It Suggested She Should Apologize (Directly).

The Bereaved Mother Told Channel Four News: “I Met With Cressida Dick But Her Job Was To Protect The Brand.”There Needs To Be Someone Who Will Have Zero Tolerance.

She Called For Dame Dick To Go Following The Damning IOPC Report October 2021 On The Investigation Into Her Daughters’ Being Reported Missing The Weekend of Friday June 5th – Sunday June 7th 2020. It Was So Incompetent That The Sisters Were Found By Friends And Family, Not The Police, Who Had Referred To One of The Sisters As ‘The Suspect’ Instead of ‘Missing Person’.

The Two Officers Were Arrested Monday June 22nd 2020 And The IOPC Confirmed It Had Launched An Investigation Into The Case, After Mrs Smallman Made A Complaint of Racial Stereotyping. She Said “If Ever We needed An Example of How Toxic It Has Become, those police officers felt so safe, so untouchable, that they felt they could take photographs of dead black girls and send them on.”

However, In Its Subsequent Report Issued October 2021 The Regional London IOPC Office, Led By Sal Naseem, Concluded That Racism Was Not Involved. The Report Is Available Here.

After Dick Resigned, Former Archdeacon, Mina Smallman, Revealed On Woman’s Hour‘ BBC Radio 4, That Commissioner Dick Had Gaslighted Her Over The Police WhatsApp Group Scandal.

It Is Possible To See Why: News of The So Called ‘A Team’ Police WhatsApp Group First Broke Publicly June 2020 – Following A Complaint From Mrs Smallman And Her Family To The IOPC After Reporting Her Daughters Missing (When They Did Not Return From Visiting Fryent Park To Celebrate Ms Henry’s 46th Birthday Over The Weekend of Friday June 5th 2020) And Being Treated Badly. A Subsequent Tip Off To The IOPC Was Made Friday June 19th 2020 About The Photos Taken And Posted By The Officers. They Were Arrested On The Monday). It Took Dick A Week To Apologize (Finally Doing So Friday June 26th 2020).

Later It Transpired That Other WhatsApp Groups Were Being Investigated Which Stemmed Back To Posts Prior To 2020 – Which As Met Commissioner She Would Have or Should Have Known About.

Mrs Smallman Told Emma Bartlett On Woman’s Hour BBC Radio 4:

“Speaking Out Has Been Part of My Role”

Ms Smallman Was The First British Female Archdeacon And First Black British Archdeacon. She Retired In 2016. She Was Honored On The BBC 100 Women of The Year List In 2021.

[Continued From Column One, Opposite:- The IOPC Charing Cross WhatsApp Group Report.

Others Who Called For Dick To Stand Down Included The Lawrence Family (Re: The Macpherson Report). Women’s Safety Activist Patsy Stevenson of Reclaim These Streets (Re: The Angiolini Report). And The Morgan Family (Re: The Morgan Report).

Sadiq Khan, Both The Mayor of London And London’s Police And Crime Commissioner, Had Also Officially Withdrew His Support For Her And Put Her On Notice The Previous Week Previously That This Would Be The Consequence If She Failed To Present A More Satisfactory, Persuasive, And Pro-Active Policing Plan For London. She Refused To Accept The MET Was Institutionally Racist And She Reportedly Submitted A Substandard Set of Policing Proposals Which Khan Found Unacceptable.

Dick Finally Limped Off, Begrudgingly Resigning With A Dramatic Televised Resignation Statement In Which She Complained That The Mayor Had Left Her No Choice But To Resign. ]

She Walked Away With A Large Annual Pension of £150,000. As Well As A Much Larger Severance Lump Sum Payment Too.


The Charing Cross Police Station WhatsApp Group


Former Home Secretary Jacqueline Smith Told GMTV (The Morning After Dick’s Resignation) That She Believed It Was The IOPC Report The Week Before (Which Revealed Horrific Racist, Misogynistic, Homophobic And Ableist WhatsApp Messages Exchanged Between Police Officers From Charing Cross Police Station) That Was The Final Straw For Former MET Commissioner. She Added That It Was Ironic That Misogyny Played Such A Significant Role In Her Resignation Given That She Was The First Female Met Police Commissioner. (Dick Was Also The First Openly Lesbian To Assume The Position.)

The Bethnal Green Police WhatsApp Group


News of A Bethnal Green Police WhatsApp Group Broke Publicly June 2022 – Following An IOPC Investigation Called ‘Operation Argens’. This Was Launched After The Wayne Couzens Arrest For The Murder of Sarah Everard (March 2021). His Attempt To Delete Certain WhatsApp Messages Just Before His Arrest Exposed The Group.

The Officers Were From The Same Parliament And Diplomatic Protection Police Group As Couzens And The Posts Were Active January – December 2018.


On The Same Day This Case Came To Light – The MET Police Were Placed Into Special Measures By HMICFRS Due To A Catalogue Of Police Horrors (See Column Three Opposite)


Further News of Another Bethnal Green Police WhatsApp Group Broke Publicly October 2022 – Following An Officer of 27 Years, Who Claimed He Never Posted In The Group, Approaching The BBC Newsnight Program, In Light of The Angiolini Investigation After The Wayne Couzens Conviction (September 2021).


And Further News Still Broke Regarding The Case of Former Officers Joel Borders and Jonathan Cobban After The IOPC Revealed That Also As Part of Their Investigation Into The Bethnal Green Police WhatsApp Group They Had Been Convicted Under The Communications Act 2003.




The HMICFRS Report June 2022: MET Police Placed In Special Measures After Damning Report From Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary And Fire And Rescue Services


Patsy Stevenson Unimpressed With Former Met Commissioner Cressida Dick And Glad She Went (Finally!)

Dirty Cops. The Long Arm of The Law. Overreaching. Continued Police Impropriety, Police Heavy-Handedness, And Police Poor Knowledge of The Law Were Ultimately Trounced By Power of The People, Democratic Protest And Legal Contest. In This Particular Groundbreaking Judicial Review Case. It Concluded That The Police And Cressida Dick Were Wrong About Prohibiting The March 13-14 2021 Vigil In The First Place.

Wayne Reported That The Chris Kaba Demonstration Outside New Scotland Yard, September 18 2022 Was Very Emotional. He Captured The Raw Grief Exquisitely. Tragically! Another Black Mother Suffered The Loss of Her Child, Killed By A Police Officer. That Police Officer Was Found Not Guilty of Murder Despite Deciding To Shoot Dead Chris Through The Windscreen of His Car, Killing Him Dead, Instead of Shooting At The Car Tyres, De-escalating The Situation or Conversing With Him.

This Police Windscreen Shooting of A Black Man Instead of Shooting At The Tyres Has Been Seen In American Policing Too.

A Decision By The IOPC On Whether or Not The Police Officer Will Face Misconduct Charges Is Currently Pending.

@patsyestevenson Protest Against The Cop Killing of Chris Kaba

Sometimes racism doesn’t have language.
It’s not verbalized.
It’s what you fail to do
and
what you communicate within the structures.
