  1. Reading that story the police just left when they couldn’t find where the plea’s for help were coming from?!

    Police have blood on their hands too if that’s true

  2. I swear if it comes out in the inquiry the two officers looked around and then shrugged and said “Must have been the wind.” I am going to flip a table…

  3. I wonder at what point it was that the police stopped caring about investigating? Maybe it’s always been like this and it’s just far more visible due to the internet.

    They obviously have discretion to choose not to investigate when it appears as though the issue has disappeared, but clearly they were wrong here to the extant that someone is now dead because of it and I think that aught to result in an inquiry.

    I am also cynical about the police across the UK in general pushing for more surveillance powers/tech to go with it if they’re just going to use it as a crutch to avoid investigative policing altogether.

  4. Frustrating to read the history of this guy complete with cocky “giving the finger outside court” pictures to go with his laundry list of offenses.

    Some people don’t deserve a 7th.. 8th… 9th.. chance.

    I had a neighbor like this and the police did absolutely nothing after repeated calls. Eventually his pregnant gf who he was hitting stabbed him in self defence and suddenly the police gave a rats.
