Police officer sacked over tragedy chanting at Liverpool game A police officer who took part in tragedy chanting against Liverpool fans has been sacked.
On Friday, a misconduct panel - chaired by Essex Police's Chief Constable Ben-Julian Harrington - found Coppin had breached standards of professional behaviour concerning honesty and integrity, authority, respect and courtesy and discreditable conduct.
Merseyside Police said that the officer was seen by club stewards chanting toward Liverpool supporters, before being ejected from the stadium and arrested by local police.
Sergeant Tyler Coppin, of Essex Police, pleaded guilty to the public order offence while at a Premier League match between Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield on 20 October.
He added: "His actions will seriously undermine public trust and confidence and I must send a clear message to officers, staff and the wider public that behaviour such as this cannot and will not be tolerated in policing.
