Policeman cleared ( what a shock )

[Safeway]

Buzzer has misbehaved in the past, and tried to contravene the Withdean 'Sportsman' rules, so that cock thinks he's an authority on 'Steward Watch' or something. He's got a boner for me since I didn't agree wholeheartedly with his poor example, even though invited to give unbiased opinion.
Never mind eh, he can think whatever he wants, he's been a bit of a nob and STILL can't take his meds.

Is the club aware that a member of its staff is abusing supporters on a public message board?

What should be remembered is that he was reported by a fellow officer who was shocked by his behaviour.

Can tell you now that means absolutely nothing. The cover my ass and do a colleagues legs to get ahead culture is well and truely alive in the Police to a ridiculous degree. The copper who made the report was doing nothing but covering their ass purely because if they are there and things are looking like a full scale complaint, they themselves will get grilled for not reporting it even if they don't think the officer did anything wrong....its all how it might look to the 9 o clock jury the next morning. As SUPERPHIL stated, the woman getting nicked for drink driving (scum) then refusing to co-operate and walk to a cell then when being moved suddenly has the ability to act the idiot has somehow been forgotten. Oh well, let people do what they want when they get nicked and basically take the piss because that what police are there for obviously. Shocked by his behaviour...more like saw an option to score brownie points....what a wanker!

at least his employers show no signs of backing down in their intention to sack him and to make the disciplinary process public. Hopefully the police force will have more integrity than the courts.

Shameful

Always find it funny how Senior Officers are quick to mouth their opinions about their officers in cases like this when the full process is'nt finalised, ie the appeal. Jumping on the politcal bandwagon at any chance to make themselves look holier than thou....such bullshit its sickening. Glad this has blown up in their faces and hope they have back track and give the guy his job back with an apology. Unless you've been in his position you have no idea what its like....just your opinion on the small part of a big story that you were shown by the press.

Great thread this and gratifying that some police officers can stand up to be counted (well done you).
while I was a prison officer I saw some dreadful behavior by other officers, needless to say they did not last long and were sent down the road pretty quickly.
now I know this sort of thing happens, fortunately not on a regular basis and to be quite honest shit happens we all lose it at some time, not making excuses for this guy but it does occur to me that he must really be a bit thick performing like this in front of a camera and thinking he would get away with it or was this some kind of internal politics knowing he would do this sort of thing reporting it and having video evidence whereby ridding themselves of the station bully (as I have no doubt that he has tried this with other officers)
whatever he has and will get what he deserves one way or another....one other point would the Chief Constable have been so verbose if the video evidence had not been in the public eye...........I somehow doubt that.

Once again its nice to know there are some good guys out there.

It's good to know YOU feel this way about it.
Sadly the job attracts a lot of rock-ape bully boys who don't think, or DO think they have a right to give it the physical on all comers just because of the uniform.

I thought that description applied to "door-minders"!

I remember that form the original story, it's quite an important fact in this case.

Had he not been grassed up by his colleague this would've never come to light. Can't believe the nasty c**t has got away with it.

More so in the past I'd imagine - now they have to wear id and be certificated, so they have something to lose by eking out their own justice around the back alleys.
I expect it still occurs though.

Funny, but I don't see my opinion wrapped in hi-viz and 'representing the club' every time I post on here Safeway?
It's 'NMH' speaking for NMH - not 'steward number 76837'.
So stfu.
