A former police officer would have been dismissed for punching a vulnerable man detained in hospital, according to a gross misconduct panel.
Former PC Jack Green would have been dismissed for punching a vulnerable man who was detained at a hospital if he had not already left the force
During verbal exchanges with the man, PC Green told him that his breath stank, described him as"simple minded" and"pond scum", and said: “…you take too many drugs or drink too much booze, or just generally p*** your life away.” A three-day disciplinary hearing organised by the force and led by an independent and legally qualified chair found the allegations were proven.
"In our view, the strikes delivered by PC Green were not necessary, reasonable or proportionate in the circumstances, and body worn video did not support his account that he acted in self defence. "He will also be added to the police barred list, preventing him from future employment with the service.”
