Bristol, England, police officers Helen Harris and Leanne Winter have been fired for failing to help a disabled man who was beaten unconscious and burned to death by a mob that falsely believed he was a pedophile. Bijan Ebhrimi made multiple calls to police for help. They were not answered. One of the officers told dispatch she would not talk to him because he was a "pest."
