AND FINALLY

In Yer Facebook

So which copper should get the sack for writing stuff on Facebook? One boasting about wanting to bash hippies heads in or one expressing regret at the killing of an innocent man by police?

PC Rob Ward who said “Can’t wait to bash some long haired hippys up at the G20” was disciplined (read told off), while PC Hayter from the Royal Protection Squad - who wrote “I see my lot have murdered someone again” - was forced to resign.

So there’s no change at the Met – get slapped wrist for inciting violence and the sack for being sorry about it.

Keywords: facebook, g20 summit, met police
