A police inspector is being probed for gross misconduct over a series of “abusive and misogynistic” tweets – including saying a Sarah Everard activist should have been “thrown in the sea at high tide”.
Inspector Phil Grimwade, of Nottinghamshire Police, may face a hearing and is on restricted duties after a complaint was made about more than 40 of his tweets over the last two years.
These include a reply to a 2021 tweet about policing of the Sarah Everard vigil at which Patsy Stevenson was bundled to the ground.
