Ashley Feest has spoken out after he was barred from policing for gross misconduct

A police officer who was forced out of Greater Manchester Police following an investigation into a 'racist' WhatsApp group has said he has been unfairly punished.

Racist and homophobic language was used on the group chat which was said to be dominated by another officer, PC Aaron Jones, who left the force in disgrace last year. In a strongly worded statement following the hearing, Detective Chief Superintendent Mike Allen, head of GMP's Professional Standards Branch, said: “The conduct of these officers was a complete disgrace and it is fitting that three members of the WhatsApp group now find themselves barred from policing for life, with one also carrying a criminal conviction for offering to supply drugs.

He said: "I shared on one occasion, an inappropriate and poorly thought out meme in a private encrypted chat. For that I apologise unreservedly. However, it was a joke, not my words, albeit a poorly thought-out one. I apologise wholeheartedly. He said he had 'never in my life taken recreational drugs' although he confessed he had been 'naive' in taking a course of anabolic steroids in 2019. It is illegal to sell steroids, a class C drug, although it is lawful to possess steroids.
