In a 2007 autobiography, Not One of Us, Ali Dizaei, a high-flying Iranian-born policeman who was the subject of a ? $6 million corruption investigation by the Met and was eventually exonerated and reinstated, depicts a force that still falls far short of its own pledge to end the "institutional racism" uncovered by an inquiry into...
