He said: 'Senior officers at Dorset Police have departed of their senses. This decision epitomises how they have lost touch with the danger and truth of frontline policing. It is bloody madness.
'Law enforcement officers when facing volatile or violent scenarios will at times swear and use some unsavoury words.
'All arrests involve some type of force and pushing someone even in the face throughout a struggle is not always deliberate and even if it is its part and parcel in lots of arrests when restraining a suspect. No arrest lacks some sort of force.
'I'm ill and fed up with officers being disciplined for things like this and I believe most of the general public would think this is definitely bonkers.
'Many senior officers kowtow to the constant criticism of the police in a sort of appeasement and often toss officers under the bus or to the wolves as sacrificial lambs. Cases like this are most likely to prevent individuals from joining the police.'
