What A Pity Judges And Home Office Ministers Aren't Out On London's Streets...

A thug who knocked a Pokemon Go player’s tooth out in an unprovoked street attack has been jailed for nine months.
William Larking, 35, assaulted victim Matthew Alford as he and his friends played the mobile phone game in Poland Street, Soho, on September 7.
Just another drunken idiot at large on the streets of London?

Well, no. This one's a professional:
He has 45 previous convictions for 108 offences, including assault, affray, and robbery, and was on bail at the time of the attack on Mr Alford.
*sighs*

'45 previous convictions for 108 offences'. There was scant information about this chap, such as tattoos and halitosis, to provide further clues of a possible plod career.

Boring and predictable Melvin. Haven't you got a burglar to pretend to catch or a lawnmower to replace?
Jaded.

'Tattoos and Halitosis'...touched a brace of raw nerves, perchance?

I don't know about halitosis, but watching 'The Force: Essex' on tv, it seems visible tattoos are no longer a bar to police employment. They almost seem to be a requirement!
