Homophobic UK Police Officer Fired For Anti-Gay Emails.
I previously brought you the story of Graham Cogman, the homophobic UK police officer who used department computers to send anti-gay e-mails to coworkers. Though Cogman tried very hard to pretend he was another victim of religious persecution, it didn’t work and he was fired.
…..
An internal police tribunal this week found Cogman guilty of failing to comply with a lawful order over the use of police computers and with failing to treat a colleague with respect and tolerance.“The outcome follows a thorough investigation with evidence presented to a misconduct panel of three, two of whom were independent of the constabulary,” said Deputy Chief Constable Ian Learmonth.
“This officer’s behavior fell well below what we expect of our people. We require an absolute commitment from all our staff to treat colleagues with politeness, tolerance and respect, regardless of their beliefs, race, age, gender or sexual orientation.”
Gogman has not said if he will appeal.
I’m sure he will appeal. No doubt with a fresh barrage of complaints about how his “religious beliefs” were violated because he wasn’t allowed to force them on everyone at his workplace.
