LONDON COPS ARREST FOR 'HATE CRIMES'--NO MONEY TO TRACK JIHADISTS

London Cops Arrest for ‘Hate Crimes’ — But No Money to Track Jihadists

By Geller Report Staff - on June 8, 2017

Police in London have gone on a hate crime arrest binge, taking into custody 25 people over the last fewe days who are suspected of committing various acts of hatred — of committing offenses based on their targets race, religion or sexual choice.

But the arrests are a bit odd. Why?

London was in chaos Saturday, as terrorists struck the city in two spots at simultaneous moments.

Well, London was just attacked by terrorists. And these terrorists were known to police. Yet they escaped tracking and were able to fly under the radar.

And the reason they were able to do that is that authorities put plenty of money into, say, hate crime investigations — but not so much into the tracking of jihadists.

Breitbart notes:

“The Metropolitan Police have arrested 25 people since Saturday’s terror attacks, using hate crime legislation to crack down on words and actions deemed either offensive, or which target people “because of their race, religion, sexual orientation” or disability.

“Speaking on Thursday, Chief Superintendent Dave Stringer, the head of “Community Engagement” for the Metropolitan Police, said:

“Since Saturday evening’s attacks, we have increased the number of officers on the streets and in communities to reassure local people that they are able to go about their daily lives in peace and without fear of harassment or intimidation. Dedicated ward officers have also made contact with their local places of worship to encourage them to report hate crimes and to reassure those who congregate there that the police will take these crimes seriously. The Metropolitan Police has made 25 arrests for hate crime offences since Saturday.

“The news comes as London Mayor Sadiq Khan told Piers Morgan in an interview that London’s police did not have enough resources to monitor the jihadists returning to the United Kingdom from Syria and Iraq.

“He said in an interview Wednesday morning: ‘I can’t follow 400 people… the Met Police budget, roughly 15-20 per cent comes from me, the Mayor. The rest is funded by central government. If the Met Police budget is being shrunk and reduced, they’ve got to prioritise and use their resources in a sensible, savvy way.’

“Asked what could be a bigger priority than tracking jihadists in the UK’s capital city, Mr. Khan declined to answer.”

Of course he declined to answer. What could he possibly say to justify the funding disparity?

My comments: SHAME on the electorate of London in electing this Muslim as their Mayor.
