Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:

“A Police Officer ends up dead because of foolish jokes about a colleague he made over what he believed a private messaging. Of course the family won’t ever get “justice” because in today’s world if a man does anything a bit off colour, no matter its intention or triviality all his service dedication and bravery is trashed and he’s simply ejected. This report from the Mirror gives more details of his career and life (including raising money “In 2013, Mr Ezard took on a trek across the Sahara, raising almost £10,000 in memory of murdered PCs Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes”). Man who died after fall from M60 bridge was ex-GMP cop who quit over ‘sexist’ messages – The Mirror I hope people read it so as to know the quality of person trashed.”
