A Merseyside cop has been barred from policing after threatening to break a domestic assault victim’s neck.

PC Robert Marshall, a response officer, was dismissed on Wednesday, after appearing before an independent panel in relation to allegations that he had used excessive force against a woman, believed to be a victim of domestic assault.

    I didn’t know that barring someone from policing was an option. Seems like an effective threat to stop power-tripping officers, as long as it’s enforced beyond the local jurisdiction.
