It was an unforgivable racial slur, but to escalate it to national media attention and through the courts was not required.
It could have been managed internally.

To be fair, if they had managed this internally, and the press would have got hold of the story, they would have had a field day with it and accused the police of a cover up, and then things could have been much worse. It is in both the publics interest and the police forces that such matters are handled by the IPCC.
Nobody should be called a ******. Nobody should be called a n****r. Nobody should be told "“You’ll always have black skin. Don’t hide behind your colour.”
These men are in a position of trust with the public, and are representatives for the British police force, and they should act accordingly. If they cannot, then they should not be allowed to hold such a position. It is because of a minority of idiots that some of the public lack confidence in the force, and such ignorance and intolerance should be stamped out.
