Any foreign person is the worst to deal with.'Another officer detaining a woman wearing police fancy dress said: 'Ah awesome. I've paid money to go to clubs and see women dressed like this.'On another occasion, an off-duty officer remarked: 'Islam is a problem. A serious problem I think. Muslims hate us. They f****** hate us. Proper hate us.'During the programme one officer described how, if suspects refuse to have their fingerprints taken, he could pull two of their fingers hard to snap the tendons.'I love taking fingerprints by force,' he said.One constable allegedly offered to make a false statement blaming a suspect for lashing out after he saw another officer on the suspect's leg.In the programme, one of the officers was filmed saying Algerians were 'scum' and Somalians were 'f****** ugly'.

One police officer described how he loved taking fingerprints by forceReacting to the documentary earlier this week, the Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said: 'I've not yet seen the footage, but I've had it described to me, and it's shocking, and I'm glad the commissioner is responding.'He needs to be very robust in his response.'Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said people in London could trust the 'vast majority' of the force's officers, and added he was 'horrified' by the documentary.Nine serving and one former officer, and one designated detention officer who is a civilian member of staff, are all under investigation for gross misconduct by watchdog the Independent Office for Police Conduct.Allegations include excessive use of force, making discriminatory and misogynistic comments, and failing to report or challenge inappropriate behaviour.One constable is facing a criminal investigation for allegedly perverting the course of justice.
