Greater Manchester Police has suspended eight officers and placed another on restricted duties after a report was made of racial discrimination.
Seven of the suspended officers are from the Bury district, and one is from Rochdale who was working in Bury at the time of the allegations, the force has said. The move follows the suspension of five officers and the placing of two others on restricted duties, all from the Bury district, on 17 July, Greater Manchester Police added. The force referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct in relation to both cases.
' The suspensions come as a GMP constable is under criminal investigation after a video shared widely on social media showed an officer kicking in a man in the head at Manchester Airport. There is no suggestion the suspensions announced today are linked to that case. Protests took place in Rochdale and the centre of Manchester after the video emerged, as the city's mayor Andy Burnham urged people to 'take a step back' and allow the authorities to carry out their investigations.
