Owethemnowt   10 #26 Posted January 21, 2017 Nothing to do with my mind. It's one of the things he was disciplined for - the things you imagined were him intending to pay her a complement. Perhaps you should check what you're talking about in future.  I didn't imagine. It's wrong to assume I did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
iansheff   89 #27 Posted January 21, 2017 If there is a connection between a senior police officer making lewd comments towards a colleague and the completely irrelevant story you have linked to, could you please share it ? Thanks  I was on about being PC and the way everything has to be all PC these days. As has been said years ago things people said were said jokingly and not meant with any insult, read my other post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
kidley   48 #28 Posted January 21, 2017 What i dont understand about this is, why was the sgt taken directly to a disciplinary hearing without a mention of any previous warnings. In my experience when you face a disciplinary hearing you face the sack. there was no mention of officer A reporting the sgt to a senior officer at all, consequently no pryer warnings at all were mentioned.

The hearing was a misconduct hearing, openly reported, to reach a decision of whether to dismiss or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
altus   540 #31 Posted January 21, 2017 I didn't imagine. It's wrong to assume I did. In post #3 you put: I don't imagine he intended to insult the woman but rather pay her a compliment. That sure reads like you imagined he intended to pay her a compliment to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

kidley   48 #33 Posted January 22, 2017 If i can clarify, why wasnt the sgt reported to a senior officer at the beginning of these comments instead of it becoming a gross misconduct hearing, There is no mention of any previous warnings or any previous disciplinary procedure against him, i would have thought that officer A would have reported this before it got to this stage where the sgt would have been brought before the chief for disciplinary action. why wasnt the sgt reported and disciplined on the first few times he made these comments? If he was, and still carried on making the comments it is my guess he would have been sacked and imo quite rightly so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Dannyno   19 #34 Posted January 22, 2017 what may have been acceptable in previous decades has become a no go area due to the pc world that pcs now live in.  Or, what may have been acceptable in previous decades is now considered unacceptable because we now understand more about the difference between right and wrong.
