PC Mia Korell faces allegations of misconduct after allegedly using a derogatory term to refer to fellow black officers during a conversation with Inspector Alistair Phillips. Both officers were engaged in dialogue about racism within the Territorial Support Group (TSG) when Mr. Phillips claims Korell used the term 'cotton pickers' to describe those who did not deem the TSG as racist. Despite being a black officer herself and previously engaged in researching racism in policing, Korell denies the claim, sparking a significant misconduct hearing.
Mr Phillips confirmed the phrase used by PC Korell was 'just cotton pickers,' emphasizing his certainty and the offensiveness of the statement during their off-duty conversation.
Chloe Hill, representing the Metropolitan Police, argued that the term used by PC Korell is grossly offensive and derogatory amidst ongoing discussions about racism in policing.
