PC Lorne Castle admitted that he 'lost control' during the arrest and tearfully apologised for his 'out of character' actions at a cops disciplinary hearing

Mr Morgan said: 'PC Castle breached standards of professional behaviour by failing to act with self control and stopping working to treat him with courtesy or regard.

He stated: 'Senior officers at Dorset Police have taken leave of their senses. This decision epitomises how they have actually lost touch with the risk and truth of frontline policing. It is bloody madness.

'Police officers when facing unpredictable or violent scenarios will at times swear and use some unsavoury words.

'All arrests involve some form of force and pressing somebody even in the face during a battle is not always intentional and even if it is its part and parcel in numerous arrests when restraining a suspect. No arrest is without some sort of force.

'I'm ill and fed up with officers being disciplined for things like this and I believe most of the public would think this is absolutely bonkers.

'Many senior officers kowtow to the constant criticism of the cops in a sort of appeasement and typically toss officers under the bus or to the wolves as sacrificial lambs. Cases like this are more likely to discourage people from signing up with the cops.'
