It's a safe verdict for the Met to take. It allows them to say, "Okay, collectively we may be a bunch of idiots, but none of our officers is an individual idiot." I love the way the jury went so far as to attach a note to the verdict affirming that Cressida Dick bore no personal culpability whatsoever. Because she was only, you know, in charge of the operation. And the Met promoted her afterwards, so she must have been doing a good job. It would be unbelievable if it wasn't all so effing inevitable.
