Former Met Police detective Mike Neville has launched a blistering rant about police officers spotted tearing down posters of kidnapped Israeli children.
Two officers were spotted in Edgware, North London stripping the outside of Cullimore Chemist of flyers appealing for support in helping find missing innocents.
The Met has insisted they are taking action to “stop issues escalating” and “avoid community tension”, but the local Jewish community are lamenting the move.
Speaking on GB News, Mike Neville said the decision is emblematic of the Met becoming a “woke” establishment.

“I have no idea as to why this is happening”, he said.
“The posters don’t have anything hateful. I would like to know what sort of consultation took place.
“I don’t think they have had any discussions with any community leaders or rabbis or imams.
“If those pictures were of Palestinian children, would the police be removing them? I suggest they would not.”
Christys probed Neville on why the “police aren’t getting involved” when it comes to pro-Palestine demonstrators chanting jihad, but are opting to intervene when it comes to stripping down flyers of kidnapped Israelis.
“I don’t think it’s fear, it’s a real consequence of who they have recruited over many years”, he said.

“Wokeism has sort of taken over. If you have groups supporting a fashionable liberal left cause, they will be policed in a very different way to others.”
In a statement, the Met Police claimed missing posters were being put up in an act of “retaliation” for comments about the Israel-Hamas war.
They removed the posters as they “have a responsibility to take reasonable steps to stop issues escalating and to avoid any further increase in community tension”.
The Met has faced criticism for failing to clampdown on Islamism and extremism at pro-Palestine protests on the streets of London, with protesters seen carrying effigies of dead babies.
The organisation’s commissioner, Mark Rowley, has called for clearer guidance from the Government on how the force should be dealing with the protests.
Hundreds of thousands continue to take to the street in mostly peaceful demonstrations as they call for a ceasefire in the Hamas-Israel conflict.
On Saturday, five people were charged after being arrested at the demonstrations.
