One resident asked officers: “Can you assure us there will be no reprisals? We have to live around here. These people come in from London, but we live here. Can you guarantee our safety?”
Well, when the police can’t even bring themselves to be honest about the motives of those involved…
Sgt Gary Lane said police were trying to find out why the men were in Southend. He added: “We don’t know why they were there.”
Ah, go on! Take a wild guess…
Hassan, 26, known as Big Hass, was stabbed twice on Monday, July 7, in York Road, Southend.
The well known red light district, you mean? The well-known place to buy (or sell) drugs? Gosh. How surprising…
Police said they had taken the unusual step to get special powers to carry out stop and searches on anyone in the area for six days and increased patrols.
Given the demographic involved here, then that must have given a few police diversity officers heart failure…
To be fair to the Sergeant who's safety can we guarantee? If it's one drug dealer stabbing another then do they deserve protecting?
ReplyDeleteInteresting comments from chav-ville as usual.
Jaded.
Lazy Essex plod needed no encouragement to trim crime figures well before New Labour gave a sly nod to misinformation.
ReplyDeleteHabitual 'massaging' of crime figures leads to the total loss of any meaningful measurement of law enforcement agencies. The longer term result must be a vote of no confidence in police.
Sgt Lane: I can't release these crime stats to our dumb community, Jaded. Lose a few more...and fer God's sake, turn that bloody radiator down.
WC Jaded: Look again, boss. This month I fitted up every column wi a minus figure.
Well said Melvin insofar your comment is a bit longer than usual but still utterly witless and seemingly the result of you not being a good paranoid and doing as the doctor says!
ReplyDeleteYou would know all about getting no votes wouldn't you Melvin?
ReplyDeleteJust for your info I am not personally responsible for the police massaging crime figures.Think who actually gains from the lie that crime is falling.BTW the answer isn't me.

ReplyDeleteShit reporting again. "Big Hash" is the nick.
And Jaded (19 July 2014 21:30,) spot on!
@Jaded: when it's knives (so less change if collateral damage) then no, I for one don't!
