Two Metropolitan Police officers sacked over sharing racist Meghan Markle joke
Two Metropolitan Police officers have been sacked after posting offensive messages in a group chat, including a racist joke about the Duchess of Sussex.
The hearing at the Empress State Building, in west London, heard the posts, including one comparing Meghan to a “golliwog” toy, were “discriminatory and serious in nature”. He had earlier said: “The postings in this group caused serious reputational damage to the Metropolitan Police as a whole.”He added: “They were mocking and discriminatory to many sections of society the Metropolitan Police force was meant to be policing.Mr Cohen said the posts took place “over an extended period of time” and that the officers “should have been aware” of their “unacceptable nature”.
He described Pc Jeer as a “long-serving” member of the force who should be allowed “an opportunity for learning”, through a warning.It was captioned: “Girls’ trip to Jamaica. One came back pregnant, the other came back with syphilis. ” He went on: “They have shown little by the way of remorse and contrition, minimising and deflecting what had been said to excuse behaviour rather than explain.”
