proggy, you are either truly thick or you are trying to be a troll...
thinking and wishing someone died painfully is not a crime... but tweeting and publicly speaking negatively about a political figure publicly does break a policeman's terms and conditions, and exposes the force to a lot of litigation.. yes that is breaking his contract and therefore he must leave the force.
If I work at client site and break any of my contract T&Cs the client has every right to show me the door.. especially if the terms I broke exposed the client to a reputational risk.Comment

Also I don't pretend to know what is written in his contract (unlike you), so if may be correct that he broke the terms of his contract. However I disagree that it should have been. It's called an opinion, I know in your fantasy land we would all be silent in fear of upsetting anyone, I prefer to live in a world where people can express there opinions freely.Last edited by proggy; 12 April 2013, 18:27.Comment

Firstly, he hasn't been sacked, although he may well have been eventually. He's resigned before being suspended.
Secondly, a police officer takes an oath to the crown, and in doing so accepts certain restraints on his/her private life including abstaining from any activity which is likely to interfere with the impartial discharge of duty, or to give the impression to the public that it may interfere, and from taking any active role in party politics.
Clearly this chap has created the impression that he's unlikely to behave impartially if called upon to police the funeral next week, or to attend some other related event. So he's violated his oath.
It's quite right that he's no longer a policeman IMO, he's displayed rather poor judgement among other things.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

He resigned for one simple reason, the police didn't want the bad PR and they pushed him.
