Shocking moment innocent cyclist is 'ferociously punched' by disgraced officer in lockdown stop-and-search is revealed - as colleague who pepper sprayed him escapes with a warning and will keep her job
The cyclist was punched and kicked, as well as pepper sprayed twice, during the incident in Ashton, Birmingham in April 2020 during a national lockdown. West Midlands Police officer Declan Jones was jailed for the assault on cyclist Michael Rose in Birmingham, as well as a second assault less than 24 hours later on a 15-year-old schoolboy. Mr Jones died by suicide shortly after his release from prison in December 2021. Sgt Jennifer Edwards (left), who was on patrol with Jones during the first incident, has kept her job despite being found to have committed misconduct over the stop-and-search following a misconduct hearing this week.
Bondage-obsessed Met officer who was sexually aroused by handcuffing and arresting women is jailed for four years for binding his female housemate's wrists and ankles with duct tape and telling her: 'Who are you going to tell? I'm the police'
Met PC Sam Grigg also bound the woman's mouth with tape and cut her with a knife when he eventually took the tape off.
Arrested, handcuffed and held for six hours after my dementia stricken mother accused me of trying to kill her: For the first time, PETRONELLA WYATT relives her terrifying ordeal at the hands of the Met
PETRONELLA WYATT: One policeman was holding me down. His eyes were egg-like and his skin fish-belly pale. His stare had the menace of a hitman and his hands were all over me. He had two colleagues with him: one male, one female. It was the female who kicked me in the back. I screamed and rolled over. I'd never been in trouble with the law, in my privately educated, polite little life. But, with the suddenness of a striking adder, a police officer was now trying to handcuff me.
Lancashire Constabulary have cast poor Nicola Bulley as a sad, menopausal, middle-aged woman who self-medicates with alcohol. The worst thing about our police is they don't even know they're sexist, writes SARAH VINE
SARAH VINE: It's hard to escape the fact that, by revealing her struggles, the police are implying that Nicola Bulleywas or is in some way responsible for whatever has happened to her.
Bungling Lancashire Police bosses spent more than £500,000 on wellbeing services for stressed-out officers that included trip to holistic therapy centre and use of sports clubs
The force has been accused of making 'basic, critical errors' while trying to find missing Nicola Bulley, including failing to tape off the scene of her disappearance.
Outrage as Met Police officer who was caught performing a sex act on a train is STILL on the force six years later - and the disciplinary chair who let him off with a warning rose to Deputy Commissioner
Met Police officer, Terry Malka, who was caught carrying out a drunken sex act in a First Class train carriage, is still serving in the force.

This shows, in my view, major problems within the Met disciplinary procedure. But not necessarily for the reasons that article says.
The most important problem is that 15 months elapsed between the act (Dec 2017) and the disciplinary hearing (March 2019). Cases warranting Summary Dismissal necessarily involve major breaches of a contract of employment. And need to be dealt with swiftly. Once all that time has elapsed, it is too late to safely summarily dismiss. A Final Written Warning is as much as he could safely be given at that time. Because of that delay.
The next problem is bringing this all up again more than 5 years later than the act. Employees are entitled to trust and confidence from their employer. For whatever reason, he was effectively given one last chance by his employer. And he has clearly taken that chance-he has done nothing subsequently that led to dismissal. Throwing him under the bus more than 5 years later is a terrible thing to do.
The Met could do with reviewing their internal procedures. Not attacking 1 of their employees in public.
