Sacked PC says he felt 'fear' during teen's arrest

The Police Federation, which represents officers, criticised the decision to release the footage "without also providing context or balance".

Deputy Chief Constable Rachel Farrell previously told the BBC the force shared the video to be transparent and address misinformation.

Current PCC David Sidwick declined to provide a new comment, but previously said Mr Castle's behaviour had been reported by fellow officers.

Mr Castle, who admitted misconduct but denied gross misconduct, said he wanted to appeal against the panel's decision.

An online appeal set up for him by a retired police officer has so far raised more than £68,000.
