“This was a really traumatic incident for the woman, who was simply walking her dog when Thompson verbally abused and kicked her dog in an unprovoked attack.

“Thompson also subjected our officers to racial abuse while being taken into custody.

"Our officers put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities and to receive this level of abuse is just unacceptable.

"This should send a strong message out to people that this kind of behaviour is not acceptable and that action will be taken.”
