Commander Ali Dizaei
This case does not show the Police in a good light.
Dizaei has been found guilty of misconduct in public office and perverting the course of justice and will spend some time in jail. It blew out of a row over a web site outside a London restaurant. I’ve tried the web site today and it is no longer there!
I’ve never met Dizaei, but he has been in the media in various negative stories over the last few years.
At the time, I gave Dizaei the benefit of the doubt and put it all down to things like racism and jealousy. Was I wrong? Read the stories and judge.
It illustrates though that if you are high-profile member of a minority, women, Asian, black, Jewish or whatever, you probably have to behave as impeccably as the cleanest of the majority. But then so does everybody else.
Dizaei did not and he paid the ultimate price.
In one quick stroke though Dizaei has hurt all those good officers from minorities, who by hard work have managed to climb up the rather slippery and difficult ladder of promotion.
I hope we have heard the last of Dizaei. But I fear not, as he will probably use all methods to clear his name.
