A Metropolitan Police officer who worked at Charing Cross police station has been sacked after he was secretly filmed making “floridly racist” comments and “glorifying the use of inappropriate force”.
Damning footage, gathered undercover for a BBC Panorama documentary, appears to show Pc Philip Neilson suggest an immigrant who had overstayed his visa should be shot. He said while off-duty “either put a bullet through his head or deport him”, a hearing in south London was told on Thursday.
