Police officer fired


Summary
A 35 year old police officer has been fired because he posted offensive messages about a colleague on Facebook. He also harassed a female co-worker with whom he had a very short and casual with. The Crown Prosecution Service decided there would be no criminal charges. The case went before a Metropolitan police gross misconduct hearing. There it was decided that the men did not belong in the police service.
Reaction                  
I think the police officer behaved himself very childish and unprofessional. And I agree that this man does not belong in the police service, I wonder if he is able to understand this? The relationship with the co-worker was described as brief and casual so I wonder why this police officer kept harassing this woman. “He sent the woman a series of abusive text messages and subjected her to verbal abuse and threats”. This goes a bit far if the relationship was brief and casual. Well of course this behavior always goes too far but I mean it sounds like the man really over reacted.
