Pity the same rules don’t apply to serving police officers, the complaints normally get ignored or classed as banter.
Is there a police officer who’s ever not quit before they were sacked apart from the ones on paid leave. The entire institution needs reforming, bunch of braindeads.
“fit for being a fine upstanding officer in the service of your duty ma’am?”
Barred from work for a drunk flirt seriously this country needs to relax abit 😅. If it was outside work hours then shouldn’t be punished at work for it imo
Unasked for life advice: don’t get drunk, especially if you are the sort of drunk who wants to lech or fight your colleagues. ETA or photocopy your arse or drive home.
Lesson here: don’t (try to) sharpen your (or anyone else’s) pencil at work.
Can’t even try it on on a night out anymore. We used to be a proper country.
Individual got black out drunk and done something stupid. Loads of people have been there. Not sure it warrants having your name plastered in a national newspaper.
Why the hell is everyone acting like this woman is some insane abusive devil?
Was this woman’s behaviour appropriate? Clearly not. Did she deserve to have a work inquest? Her work clearly thinks so. But she had quit already, and I can understand why. She made some drunken mistakes and she was punished for them.
But to have your photo, and your name publicised in a national newspaper and then have people post about it on Reddit while people describe you as a “mental midget”?!
What the fuck has happened to this place.
Edit: My ire here is directed not at the daily mail but at Reddit, and all of us here. The daily mail is a known shit rag, but no one is forced to post its articles, turn Reddit into its comment section, and spread its shit all over the place.
**Edit2:** I had deleted Reddit off my phone. I had downloaded it again for some reason or another and it has been really stark how very rarely it’s made me feel “good”.
I’m going to unfollow all the major subs (e.g. this one) and delete it off my phone again.
I just don’t really see the most of it beyond keeping us all preoccupied squabbling in the dirt.
This woman really doesn’t deserve her face and name plastered on a newspaper…
This country really dislikes the police. Is this being publicised for anything other than she was a police officer.
How many Christmas parties do you think this sort of thing will happen?
When did we get so sensitive? What’s the big fucking deal
As ex police and prison service, this is incredibly common. I’m more surprised the instructor didn’t jump on it as I’ve experienced instructors go through plenty of new recruits lol. It’s a bit of a none story tbh, I genuinely can’t tell you how common this is, like every night out something like this was happening.
Drink too much do something stupid and apologies on Monday.
And yet my ex-husband, a serving officer, gets away with sexually assaulting at least two women, one also a serving officer. ‘He said, she said’, at its finest.
Not very “in the public interest” is it.
If it involves kids or using her uniform abuse of power then yeah but not this as she made a mistake and quit (couldn’t she have received counselling and help? Or is there more to the story)
Arguably we’re seeing more of these stories especially young female teachers because the way society changed over the last few decades, if your a physically attractive person, especially female then you can do what you want without consequences, at least that was what they thought.
Off on a tangent but Now they are seeing consequences for their actions but don’t know how to process it which is why many women are going the only fans et al route as working hard and getting a good job is difficult but it costs nothing to sell pictures and videos to sad but apparently wealthy enough people to afford this nonsense.
This is why getting drunk with colleagues is a bad idea and police probably have the most to lose.
“The virtual hearing considered four allegations that Canning had attempted to kiss PC A, grabbed him by the back of the neck, pulled his head towards hers, touched his upper thigh or groin area, and repeatedly told him ‘you know you want to’ before asking: ‘Do you think I’m fit?'”
if this was the other way around, there’d be outrage.
And there should rightly be outrage for this. No man should have to deal with this whatsoever & im so sorry to those who have and do.
lots of people saying “what about the other way around.”
im gonna say something pretty controversial: a woman behaving like this towards a man *is* actually different than a man behaving like this towards a woman.
did people just forget that men are bigger and physically stronger than women? that it feels genuinely terrifying to be cornered by a man when you know he is capable of doing serious harm to you?
idk, i just think it’s lazy to say “what about if a man did it.” men know they are physically stronger on average. they know how intimidating they can be. that does make it worse, in my eyes.
Everybody has done stupid things when they are drunk, myself included. The media coverage of this is absolutely disgraceful and unnecessary
I’m struggling to see how this is gross misconduct. Unprofessional sure, but this should just go down with a warning and training on behaviour.
Police officer commits the crime of sexual assault and rightly gets the sack.
But… why is this in the *newspaper*?
If I had any way of knowing how many sexual assaults happen that don’t end up in the news, I’m sure I’d be even more puzzled as to why one in particular gets in the news.
The uniform pic is sending me. She looks like a strippergram
