Video Description

Nick Ferrari hears from callers after an award-winning police officer was sacked for a "lack of respect" for slamming a knife-carrying teenager to the ground while arresting him. Shocking footage emerged in the aftermath of PC Lorne Castle's sacking, with body cam footage showing him grabbing the 15-year-old boy, who was suspected of assault and pushing him into a wall in Bournemouth. The 46-year-old, who has twice won a national bravery award, then tackled the teenager to the ground and placed his hand over the boy’s face while shouting threats and curse words. 00:00 - Caller Claire - 'I can't believe that man's been sacked' 05:00 - Caller Kate - 'The way he dealt with the situation speaks volumes' 07:56 - Caller Terri - 'I hope the same consistency is shown to other officers' 09:44 - Caller Paul - 'I find this country ridiculous' Listen to the full show on the all-new LBC App: https://app.af.lbc.co.uk/btnc/thenewlbcapp #nickferrari #police #LBC #crime LBC is the home of live debate around news and current affairs in the UK.
