💨 Abstract

A police constable, Lorne Castle, was dismissed for the "aggressive" arrest of a 15-year-old boy carrying a knife. The video showed the officer tackling the teenager to the ground, holding his face and throat, and shouting. Castle argued that the situation was risky due to the unknown level of threat. Dorset Police released the footage to address misinformation, asserting that officers act proportionately and with respect.
