UK: Muslim police commander used race card to dodge jail for years

Feb 10, 2010 5:55 am By Robert Spencer

How multiculturalism encourages corruption, corrupting the protected class and encouraging cowardice in the enablers of the protected class. “A criminal in uniform: Teflon Commander Ali Dizaei used race card to dodge jail for years. Now he’s got four-year term for framing an innocent man,” by Stephen Wright and Richard Pendlebury in the Daily Mail, February 9 (thanks to all who sent this in):

He swaggered around Scotland Yard believing he was above the law.

Commander Ali Dizaei bullied, intimidated and threatened anyone who crossed his path.

If that didn’t work, the Iranian-born officer accused them of being racist.

But yesterday his reign of corruption came to a dramatic end when he was condemned as a ‘criminal in uniform’ and given four years in jail for trying to frame an innocent man.

Following a bust-up in a restaurant, Dizaei, 47, told colleagues that an Iraqi website designer had assaulted him.

It was a pack of lies and yesterday, after a four-week trial, a jury took just two-and-a-half hours to convict Dizaei of misconduct in a public office and perverting the course of justice. […]

Dizaei, who had been the subject of dozens of corruption allegations during his time in the Met, is the most senior Scotland Yard officer to be jailed since the 1970s. […]

* Police authority officials had wanted to sack him in a fast-track process last spring but backed down amid fears he would sue for racism – allowing the £90,000-a-year officer to stay suspended on full pay for a further nine months.

After the verdicts, the chairman of the Independent Police Complaints Commission, Nick Hardwick, said: ‘Dizaei behaved like a bully and the only way to deal with bullies is to stand up to them.’

If only the Western world as a whole would figure that out.

‘He knew where he could push the boundaries, and how to use the Met’s fears of appearing racist to make it difficult to investigate him,’ Mr Hayman said.

Another former colleague Brian Paddick called Dizaei a ‘Marmite’ senior officer who divided opinion: ‘Many hated him, believing he had “got away with it” because “he was black”. But for the Black Police Association, we was their flag-bearer.’…

He isn’t “black,” for pete’s sake. But the UK police seem incapable of seeing things as they are.

For almost a decade, the figure of Commander Dr Ali Dizaei dominated and poisoned race relations within the Metropolitan Police.

His public face was that of human rights champion and defender of fellow ethnic-minority officers against prejudiced white colleagues.

Dizaei felt their pain. After all, wasn’t he the most unfairly persecuted ‘black’ policeman of them all?

In fact, he was simply a self-serving crook; clever conman, bully, playboy, womanising misogynist, serial litigant and liar, who hijacked the issue of race and used it for his own ends.

Under his presidency the National Black Police Association became a useful tool against those who dared cross him.

Dizaei’s jailing for corruption yesterday, seven years after being cleared of similar charges, closes one of the most troubling episodes in modern police history. Many viewed the Iranian-born officer as ‘untouchable’. Certainly Dizaei himself thought so.

One of the most telling moments in his trial was a witness’s account of how the ‘Teflon Commander’ had shouted at him: ‘Do you know who I am? I’m Ali Dizaei. Back off!’

And back off they did, shamefully. Successive Met commissioners, home secretaries and independent police watchdogs were too nervous to take him on because of the race storm he would invoke….

Once, when he was questioned by a senior white colleague, he replied: ‘You can’t tell me what to do.’ ‘But I’m your boss,’ said the startled superior. ‘I have only one boss and that is Allah,’ snapped Dizaei, piously….

Piously.
