Black police officer 'wore traditional African robe to work in protest over dress code'











DC Paul Bailey, unlike more than 100,000 ordinary policemen, decided he didn't want to wear a necktie to work, and staged a bizarre protest by coming to work in traditional African robes!
His protest came after a number of disputes with senior officers over his behaviour and attitude on the force.
After a disgreement over his work appraisal, the detective accused five senior officers at Greater Manchester Police of racial discrimination.
A full investigation in his claims was launched but his complaint was later found to be unsubstantiated.
Senior officers then launched a two-year inquiry into the behaviour of the detective which last week, when he was found guilty of wearing the robe, arguing with a senior officer over the force policy on neck ties, disputing his appraisal in an unprofessional way and appearing to look disinterested during briefings.
The panel found the incidents represented a 'continuing course of conduct' and that over a long period of time his "behaviour was unacceptable", but also ruled he should not face any disciplinary action!
And that verdict says all there is to say about the continuing decline in professional standards of police officers and the inability of the police force to effectively discipline anyone regardless of their offence thanks to the Race Relations Act and the Human Rights Act!
You want to join the police force but can't be bothered obeying the rules? - claim "discrimination" and waste hundreds of police hours and tens of thousands of taxpayers money!
You don't get promoted to the No.1 position? - sue for millions of pounds on the grounds of "discrimination"!
And so it goes on and on - while on the streets and in the real world, real people who pay the wages of these people are being murdered, raped, assaulted, mugged - but where are the police?
At another senseless and pointless tribunal hearing because someone claimed that being asked to appear smart and professional was "discrimination"!
