Jonathan Clapham and Sam Franks were sacked.
Two Metropolitan Police constables have been dismissed without notice after a disciplinary panel found their actions during a stop and search of two black athletes amounted to gross misconduct.
The panel heard they followed Mr Dos Santos in their police carrier because of the “appalling” and “suspicious” nature of his driving and were doing their duty when they conducted the stop and search. The Met officers were part of a territorial support group unit who were tasked with helping to cut priority crime such as gang and knife offences.
“If you can’t trust the police to be honest and accept when they have done bad and stereotype black people, what hope is there? I don’t believe that the panel has been brave enough to review what the Casey report has already clearly stated, which is that the Met Police is institutionally racist. The misconduct panel found it proven that Ps Simpson asked Pc Franks if he wanted to take Mr Dos Santos into the vehicle carrier to “do a bit of a ferret around his groin and his shoes” to satisfy himself that everything had been searched, but it was found not proven that she breached the standards of professional behaviour in respect of authority, respect and courtesy.
