00:00 You didn't want to go public with it.
00:01 You didn't want to publish what they'd actually said,
00:04 which people can now read because you've written it.
00:07 No, it's all... So what did you hope,
00:09 if they had actually seen those letters,
00:11 what did you hope would then happen?
00:12 What did you hope you'd get out of it?
00:14 Oh...
00:15 From my perspective, it's something I couldn't let lie.
00:19 I had to address it.
00:21 And I wanted the officers concerned to take a moment,
00:25 as I've put in the letter, to pause and think,
00:27 and I hope it might educate them in the future.
00:31 And I wasn't asking for any further misconduct
00:36 or disciplinary against them.
00:38 That's been denied, the opportunity to do it privately.
00:42 However, I do think that perhaps it's strange how things turn out,
00:45 because publicly, it's a wider story now,
00:49 and it's at risk of being endemic in this country,
00:52 that particularly the police,
00:55 but some of our emergency service responders,
00:58 it's not gallows humour.
01:01 They are desensitised and disrespectful.
