The acting chief constable of South Yorkshire police, who on Wednesday replaced David Crompton following the Hillsborough inquest findings, has stepped down after it emerged her conduct at a previous force was being investigated.


South Yorkshire police force has been left without a chief constable for the second time in less than 48 hours after the Hillsborough inquest findings, as it emerged that its deputy chief constable Dawn Copley was appointed despite having declared that she was being investigated over her conduct with her previous force, Greater Manchester police (GMP). [after having been accused of "corrupt practice", with others, by a whistleblower at GMP, according to BBC txt yesterday].

Victims' families outraged after South Yorkshire Police officers told they 'did a good job' at Hillsborough
The message: 'You did a good job - we all did' - was mistakenly made public by a group for retired officers - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/hom...04571.html

South Yorkshire Police officers who served in the 1980s have been told they "did a good job" in the wake of the Hillsborough inquests' damning verdicts.


The statement provoked outrage from families of those killed and their supporters, who said the "praise" was insensitive and undeserved for the bulk of police involved in the disaster.


A message from the South Yorkshire National Association of Retired Police Officers (Narpo), which has since been removed, acknowledged that "mistakes were made" but said they should be proud of the way the miners' dispute [see: Orgeave Truth and Justice Campaign - ] and Yorkshire Ripper cases were handled.

The former editor of The Sun, Kelvin MacKenzie, has told the BBC's Richard Lister he was "completely duped" over the facts about the Hillsborough disaster. - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36146639

[Interesting one, KM's saying that he thought that infamous info of fans picking the pockets of the dead & dying & pissing on corpses/coppers was from a respectable agency. Looks kinda flustered to me.]
