Seventh Officer Dismissed from Met Police Amid Discrimination and Misconduct Revelations from BBC Panorama

Seventh Officer Dismissed from Met Police Amid Discrimination and Misconduct Revelations from BBC Panorama

A constable from the Metropolitan Police, who made derogatory remarks regarding Muslims, has become the seventh officer from the Charing Cross station to be dismissed following a BBC investigation.

PC Sean Park also admitted to overlooking what he described as an alleged excessive application of force by a colleague who reportedly stomped on a detainee’s ankle, according to the Met.

The Panorama program aired in October revealed officers advocating for shooting immigrants, taking pleasure in the use of force, and dismissing claims of rape.

Commander Simon Messinger condemned these remarks and behaviors as “appalling” and stated that it is “entirely appropriate that he has now been terminated from his position.”

PC Park was found to have violated standards of professional conduct regarding authority, respect, courtesy, discreditable behavior, and equality and diversity, as indicated by Scotland Yard.

He not only failed to confront the act of stamping on a detainee’s ankle but also did not challenge the discriminatory comments made by PC Martin Borg, who has already been dismissed.

Additionally, PC Brian Sharkey was set to attend a hearing on Wednesday; however, the Met announced that “the BBC has once again revealed previously unaired footage to the IOPC at very short notice… which has now been forwarded to the Met.”

Sharkey’s hearing is scheduled for February.

Among the prior dismissals stemming from the same broadcast were Sgt Lawrence Hume, who claimed a detainee “deserves to be beaten up,” and was terminated on November 7.

On October 28, Sgt Clayton Robinson was dismissed after it was revealed that he had “trivialized” a woman’s allegations during a rape investigation and “mocked the victim” by singing a song with another officer.

PC Jason Sinclair-Birt was let go on October 24 after being secretly filmed “boasting about and taking pleasure in the use of force” against a detainee.

One day prior, Sgt Joe McIlvenny, PC Philip Neilson, and PC Martin Borg were dismissed after allegations of gross misconduct were upheld.

Sgt McIlvenny was recorded showing a dismissive attitude regarding a pregnant woman’s claims of rape and domestic violence and made misogynistic remarks.

PC Neilson was captured on film referring to an “invasion” of “scum” from the Middle East and made derogatory statements about individuals from Algeria and Somalia.

Sgt Steve Stamp is also expected to undergo hearings as part of the Met’s expedited misconduct proceedings following the broadcast on October 1.
