British police officer Lorne Castle was fired for not treating a teenager who (allegedly) assaulted an elderly man with “courtesy and respect.”

Not kidding. Castle is appealing the verdict.

What transpired? A gang wielding knives got into a brawl with another gang near a McDonald's, and Constable Castle attempted to arrest the masked 15-year-old who was involved in the fight -- and who allegedly assaulted the elderly man and another person.

The cop tackled the teen, who then began yelling as a knife fell out of his pocket. Castle subsequently instructed the perpetrator to “stop screaming like a b*tch” and arrested him.

A misconduct panel apparently didn’t like the fact that Castle told the knife-wielding assailant to “stop screaming like a b*tch,” and therefore concluded that Castle had not treated the violent criminal suspect “with courtesy and respect.”

Castle, who had once previously saved a woman from drowning, told GB News, “The intention was to arrest a potentially violent subject without any injuries and to make sure it was safe. I know I made that split [second] decision with no ill intent.”

So it is important that law-enforcement officers, many of whom risk their lives on a daily basis trying to save the lives of others, and otherwise protect those whom they serve, refrain from using coarse language, or even the mildest of oaths when attempting to arrest criminals, whether they are armed with deadly weapons or not.

In today’s society where nearly every television show, movie, and advertisement is filled with F-bombs and other curse words, “b*tch” might seem almost quaint. Not so. Who are we to say how a masked, knife-wielding gangbanger or a garden-variety street thug might internalize such a label?

It’s as if the whole of England is wearing dirty underwear. That is not going to change unless or until the English people scrub their society of the impurities that have been allowed to overrun their country and they restore it with those of English blood. The US had better wake up or it will certainly go the way of England!
