A senior police officer who was filmed unleashing an explosive rant aimed at a top Queensland cop after a mental health event has been booted from the police force.
A public nuisance charge against Senior Constable James Treanor was dropped at the first day of trial over the expletive-ridden tirade outside the Broadbeach Bowls Club on the Gold Coast on March 20 2019.
Video footage of the incident shows the officer calling Assistant Commissioner Brian Wilkins a c smoker and a coward with a court also hearing he threatened to blow his brains out .
However, police bosses still used the incident, in which he can be seen offering other officers to take his gun, as grounds to demote him, costing him $10,000 in pay, and to forcibly transfer him.
