Police officer attacks woman and keeps job

Jesus that's horrific. How can he be allowed to stay in his job?

Justice has always be weighted against women but it feels more now than ever before, maybe that's just me or just the recent news but its never ending.

As I understand it the length of training time for police officers has been reduced.i really think the training should have a complete overhaul, it would be a time to spot men who are unfit to be officers and fail them. The police officer who sent the meme was also a probationary officer. Young porn soaked immature males are being let loose with power.

The judge needs some retraining as well, this is a violent crime not a misdemeanor.

He's not fit to be in the police. I hope he loses his job. Misogynistic scum.

There's also a story in today's papers about three Met officers being given just a written warning after sending each other texts about wanting to gang rape and murder a crime victim and saying they should only allow women to report crimes in exchange for sexual favours. This comes after an officer was removed from frontline duties for sending jokey memes concerning the Sarah Everard case. There was also the case of two Met officers taking inappropriate photographs of the bodies of Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman.

It's obviously not a few bad apples but a massive cultural problem within the police, and I don't think any awareness course that exists could fix it. How can women come forward about being a victim when there's evidence that they even find our murders trivial and funny?

That reply is right. You cannot have the disciplinary until any criminal trial is complete. The story is not over yet.
However, his complete lack of actual punishment from the justice system is awful.

Oh my god. That poor woman.

I saw a reply to Marina Hyde's tweet about this saying that disciplinary proceedings could not start until the criminal case had concluded and it's unlikely he'll be keeping his job for much longer.

They do always keep their jobs.

Oh my goodness. That's horrific. He shouldn't do community service because it would be difficult for him?? Consequences for your actions aren't meant to be easy. How can a serving police officer keep their job after being convicted of a violent offence??

I wonder what his actual intentions were if he had succeeded in restraining her, given the misogynistic insults he was hurling at her??

They always keep their jobs - it's a closed shop union
