The IOPC concluded that there was no breach of the standard of professional behaviour around equality and diversity, despite the incident recognized as gross misconduct.
PC Jones threatened Jamar Powell with a Taser, warning him that he would face deployment of the stun gun if he moved during the stop-and-search.
The Metropolitan Police has already compensated Jamar Powell significantly, acknowledging the serious nature of the incident, which was widely circulated on social media.
Despite the problematic use of force recognized by the IOPC, they found insufficient evidence to indicate that ethnicity influenced PC Jones's actions during the incident.
