The Detectives: Fighting Organised Crime

Horrible, horrible men. Regulate and decriminalise the use of drugs and funnel the funds spent on the justice system into education and rehabilitation. Whatever we've got now just isnt working and puts people like this in control of the market. Sorry state of affairs watching this programme...

The stop I use. Not sure which boozer looks worse, The Queens or The Clarendon. Definitely a head down keep walking kind of area.

If you were to visualise the stereotype of a pub you wouldn’t walk into as a stranger then the Clarendon is probably exactly what you would think of. All it needs is an aggressive Alsatian patrolling inside the barbed wire on the roof

Bizzarely, the rougher they look the more i'm likely to go in.

This is one of my faves in The Gambia

Love the crime docs, this was probably the best in recent memory. Direction and everything else was a cut above.

How many huge bits of evidence did they leave behind tho? I can just about ignore the bullets and cap dropped at the scene of the second one... and the car, lol, as they obviously got spooked.. what amazed me was them not throwing the collar, and keeping the gun.

Honestly, they seemed like a bunch of losers to me.
 
Pubs with flat rooves LMAO... I lived a stone's throw from this for a short time.

Nothing much happened in the time I was there, except for the time someone was stabbed to death outside. There'd been another murder in the nineties, someone done in with a golf club.

The council finally closed it years later, and now it's a community centre, which the kids and everyone else desperately needed.

I couldn't believe all the really basic mistakes they made either. I reckon they didn't expect any police involvement as they were robbing drug dealers so they got careless.

The financial rewards aren't that great when they split the money between them. It's beyond me how humans can inflict that level of violence on other humans and terrorise their families for money.

That's the bit I struggle with, the level of violence, fucking barbaric the way they behave. There's a trial ongoing at the moment for the 2003 murder at Burnt House Farm near Knutsford, the accused went on the run for 16yrs, the rest of the gang were jailed. The stuff they did to Brian Waters was horrific, in front of his adult kids as well, they just don't possess any morals whatsoever.

I remember that case, as you say horrific. Some kind of legalisation of drugs has to come in, this insane war on drugs hasn't worked it has just made things worse. Those convicted of such horror should get tougher sentences. Many come out and just carry on. It's no good them rehabilitating ( If they do) in their fifties, by then the pain and misery they have inflicted has been immense. The cudgel has usually been taken up by their many offspring, something they are very successful at.
 
24 hours in police custody just been shown on channel 4. Some drug dealing young lad shooting at random strangers and almost killed an innocent Polish lad who'd just popped into an off licence. Listening to him he's obviously mentally unstable and a common theme running through these stories is a pretty abusive chaotic childhood in which he never got any help, in spite of injuries being seen on him at the age of four. Massive failures. Whatever the reasons, he was compos mentis enough to store and sell drugs and firearms and be a father to two children. He rightly got 22 years and six months and hopefully he can get some counseling inside and try and reform
