We’re aware of a video being shared falsely claiming to show UK nationals being 'harassed and intimidated' in Bridgwater. The video being used is from May 2022 and actually shows police attending disorder that began when an intoxicated man mistakenly entered the wrong home.

A former sergeant, who made discriminatory comments off-duty at a team social event, has been barred from policing after gross misconduct was proven. Colleagues reported to our Professional Standards Department what he said leading to action being taken. orlo.uk/bz5me
A quote from A/Detective Superintendent Will Thorpe of Avon and Somerset Police regarding Sgt Ryan's inappropriate behaviour stating: Sgt Ryan’s inappropriate behaviour and comments understandably shocked and appalled the police colleagues who were with him at the time. Those other officers did the right thing in reporting what had happened.
