The Met has condemned a serving officer and a former officer for sending grossly offensive messages to Sarah Everard's killer
In an exchange on April 5 that year, Borders wrote: "I can't wait to get on guns so I can shoot some c*** in the face!"
Borders replied suggesting adding "downys", a term the prosecution said referred to people with Down's syndrome, to the list.Delivering a verdict at City of London Magistrates' Court, Judge Sarah Turnock said it was "abhorrent" that Borders "demonstrates an ableist attitude by then adding a disabled person to Cobban's disgusting list of victims".
On April 25 2019, Borders 'joked' about raping a female colleague, who he referred to as a "sneaky bitch", language which the judge said was "misogynistic and aggressive in its nature and is a clear example of victim blaming".Borders kept his eyes fixed on the ceiling as the judgment was delivered and Cobban remained expressionless.The pair will be sentenced at Westminster Magistrates' Court on November 2.
Commander Jon Savell, from Professionalism, said: "The behaviour of these officers is despicable and I condemn them for sending such grossly offensive and repulsive messages. It is staggering that they regard this language as defensible.
