Cdr Simon Messinger of the Met Police said: "It was important all the footage taken by the BBC was examined to identify any misconduct not shown on the programme. "That enabled us to swiftly suspend and now hold to account these two officers for their appalling and inappropriate comments. "Ten serving officers have now been dismissed for their unacceptable conduct at Charing Cross and we continue to support the ongoing IOPC investigation." He added: "Our own work continues at pace to raise standards and address the cultural issues in the Met that created an environment where these awful views could be seen as acceptable behaviour." Both officers were found to have breached standards of professional behaviour relating to authority, respect and courtesy, and discreditable conduct. They will be added to the College of Policing's barred list, preventing them from rejoining policing or working for a number of police-related organisations.
