*declares interest. I’m from SbS and I saw the aftermath*
It’s a mile from my home…
So the punishment may seem harsh – but joking about “a nice day to attend a BBQ” on snapchat or whatever it was,when it wasn’t know how many had died, was a long way from the professional stds needed.
TBH, if it is the black humour that exists in the force and they keep it in the force, the I have no issues.
But it was a cheap shot at trying the instant fame that is so important. If one of their own had been killed, it would be very different. But it was just civvies.
Post the crash there have been just as many vile locals trying for their own claim to fame with the tragedy, whether is is talking to the red tops, or making self serving charity records.
11 locals died – and it nearly two weeks to release the names of all of them….
