BBC News - Sacked Wiltshire police sergeant to be reinstated

Will he be under his old boss, I wonder. And where is the WPC now?

There's a 'handbags at dawn' thread on this already here.

Another rough, tough policeman, bringing disgrace to his uniform

I posted it here as he's a former pupil at the Ashford Junior Deportment and Etiquette Academy. Fair play to him, don't know more than what has been in the media and I think we all know better than to expect truth or accuracy from there. He's been acquitted of a criminal offence and Wilts Constabulary have now been directed to reinstate him by the police disciplinary appeals mechanism. Interesting to see what they do, the ACC and CC were pretty quick off the mark when it all kicked off.

from what i read, the appeal concluded that although the CCTV looked like he deliberately threw her into the cell, in fact she was grabbing hold of the cell doorframe and then suddenly let go. might have looked bad but if not deliberate, glad he's got his job back. it's not easy restraining / controlling anyone being that difficult without hurting them, even if they are small and female.

So he's an innocent man in the eyes of the law?

Where's the issue?

If he's not guilty then he's free to crack on handing out some TLC to the drunkards and fucktards of Wiltshire. He's got a load on, so I suggest we leave him to get it gripped.
