OK, that was a really stupid thing to do, but does such and act call for the sacking of the offender ?

Comments please.

That sounds like a hard punishment for a first offender.

BUT, maybe this man has a record of similar acts and finally he had to be sacked.

We are just guessing as far as that goes.

He would have bound to have the Police Officers Association behind him before this could happen.

There is much more to this case than we are going to be allowed to get.

Maybe they were just looking for an excuse to get rid of this man.

No doubt we will never get to know the full story here.
