The force has published a series of documents summarising its inquiry into the aftermath of the confrontation, called Operation Alice, which has seen four police officers sacked.<\/p>\n
It also released CCTV footage, previously unseen by the public, of the foul-mouthed disagreement between police officer Toby Rowland and then Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell in Downing Street in 2012.<\/p>\n
The pair gave contradicting accounts of what was said in a conversation that lasted little over 10 seconds, and was the start of an ongoing dispute between the politician and the police after Mr Mitchell resigned from his post.<\/p>\n
Today MP David Davis, a staunch supporter of Mr Mitchell, said: “Although the Operation Alice closing report is a police report into the police, it nevertheless shows industrial levels of dishonesty by police working in Downing Street.<\/p>\n
“One police officer has been jailed. Three more police officers have been sacked and a further two police officers have received final written warnings.”<\/p>\n
Mr Rowland, who was one of four officers manning the Downing Street gate that night, claimed Mr Mitchell said: ”You should know your f****** place, you don’t run this f****** Government, you’re f****** plebs” after he was refused permission to cycle out.<\/p>\n
However, the MP insisted he said: ”I thought you guys were supposed to f****** help us”.<\/p>\n
