“He’s telling the TRUTH!” Former criminal backs suspended police chairman in racing

He pointed to two recent high-profile cases in which officers were investigated for alleged racist confrontations before being acquitted after lengthy tribunals and appeals processes.

Prior was last night backed by the current and former presidents of the Police Federation when the broadcaster broke the news of his suspension, but he has now received support from the other side of the justice system.

“I am Muslim and have used nasty complaints to avoid investigation,” said Sicarius McGrath, a former gunrunner and extortionist who now works to rehabilitate criminals.

“All my partners from 2009 to 2013 were black or mixed race and often filed malicious complaints to keep the police away from me.”

He added: “Officers are being suspended for things they wouldn’t have had to worry about 20 years ago.

“Organized criminal gangs are aware of this and use the fear of complaints to their advantage.”

McGrath, who lives in the North West, told GB News that many of the active criminals he speaks to are adopting this change in approach to their criminal tactics.

“The liberal commentary on race and policing helps their cause. Recently I had dinner with a gang member.

“He specifically recruits black kids into drug use because they are less likely to be restrained. “All this does is allow young black children to be exploited by gangs.”

McGrath continued: “He is based in the south of England, but this is a strategy that is being used across the country. Rick Prior is suspended for telling the truth. He is absolutely right in this.

“And this comes strongly from me because I am quite sympathetic to ethnic minorities. I think they get harsher sentences for the same crimes as white criminals.”

Prior’s suspension was supported by some police officers, with Andy George, president of the National Black Police Association, saying Prior was “completely inconsistent” with his language.

“His words have a profound impact on the Met’s ability to keep all Londoners safe. The Met needs the trust of all communities in London to solve crime and prevent harm, and Rick’s comments further alienate people who have the least confidence in the police to protect them.

They said: “The Metropolitan Police Federation is aware that chairman Rick Prior has been placed under investigation by the Police Federation of England and Wales.

“While this investigation takes place, Rick has been asked to relinquish all Federation duties.

“The MPF supports Rick in this process. We hope this issue is resolved soon.

“The important job of representing and supporting our members who oversee the streets of London continues unabated.

“We will have no further comment at this time.”
