Rejected petition Strip Norman Bettison of his Knighthood.

Sir Norman Bettison should be stripped of his Knighthood and forced to face a retrospective disciplinary panel in regards to the IPCC report published that recognised that his conduct fell well short if what is expected from a Police Chief.

More details

The IPCC report suggests Bettison would have been sacked had he not resigned. In doing so Bettison protected his pension and has escaped justice as he will now not face any action.

The retrospective hearing should decide if he should indeed have been sacked and if found guilty he should have his pension stopped.

If you have done nothing wrong then what do you have to fear Sir Norman??
