When a 20-year police veteran was fired for rushing to help his colleagues, it ignited a firestorm of debate. Is the system that's meant to support officers now actively working against them?
Yet another perfect example of how the Police Service is FUBAR'd beyond belief and probably the old style Force that we retired officer of 20 yrs or more will never ever be restored to it's former glory (warts and all).
This smacks completely of over officious, shiny trouser seated incompetence and malice.
The numbskull that decided to even hold a discipline hearing should themselves be held to account for malfeasance in public office.
I'm beginning to wonder why so many 'ground troops' are being penalised when so many senior officers are 'wrong 'uns' who apparently get away with just about everything and anything. Old Boys network? ACPO interference or just new and redacted guidelines from the oxymoronically named 'College of Policing'?
I am disgusted beyond belief and don't understand why anyone stays in the job any more.
This dismissal is outrageous & those in power & making these decisions need to take a serious look at themselves.
There soon will be no officers in the Force & any that are will not put themselves out for anything or anyone because they will be conditioned that way.
Personally I would say nah its not worth getting into trouble for. That would only last a short time as it's not in my nature to not help a colleague or member of public in distress.
If Offincers cannot help to save the lives of their colleagues, an already destroyed Britain is being dragged down to well below the lowest common denominator.
Totally disgraceful and frightening.
The Britain of WW2 was unsafe & terrifying - but we all looked out for others (admittedly, I was a very young kid at the time, but see the vast difference) .
We seem to be going down the very “woke” route plus senior management not willing to stand up for their loyal staff- disgraceful!!
Sad times

Surely anyone with common sense will see the reason for dismissal (the language used in his explanation) as rather pathetic and infantile!
It really is unbelievable that situations like this are happening more frequently.
Devon & Dorest does have history.

Is this the stupidity of Wokeism?
