PC Austin Ainsworth was filmed using the slur during a night out with another officer.

A South Yorkshire Police officer has been sacked after using a racial slur in a Snapchat video.

The force's chief constable ruled PC Ainsworth should be dismissed without notice at a hearing on Friday. The pair were seen laughing after PC Ainsworth said the slur in a nine-second clip filmed by Officer A on 18 June last year. The constable, who was an acting sergeant when the video was filmed, said the two officers had met a black man in the bar who repeatedly used the word as a "term of endearment".

Det Supt Waring told the panel PC Ainsworth had served on the force for six years and "should be fully aware of the behaviour expected of him".
