Sums it up perfectly

I agree but people like ex-cop Peter Blekesley bleating on TalkTV for a few quid does him no favours at all

Im not sure I follow you. What does that have to do with Martyn Blake?

After seeing the video of the stop I can’t believe the CPS thought there was enough evidence to prosecute the copper. They are usually so risk averse when prosecuting the public.

Can’t help thinking there was political interference at the CPS. I suspect they were worried about potential riots if charges weren’t pursued following the Mark Duggan experience a few years earlier, and various other scandals involving the Met. Having a trial and acquittal by a jury has certainly reduced that risk significantly, although it should never have come to this.

Here is the problem right here in this interview. A family totally choosing to ignore that their family member was a violent criminal and his actions in pursuing that lifestyle ultimately led to his death. If it wasn't at the hands of the police it would have been at the hands of another equally violent thug. They need the stop blaming everybody else and take some responsibilities for their own choices and lifestyles.

Salt n Pepa are looking well.

It reads like it was written by a 12 year old.

Just look at the first few lines. The black community aren't just traumatised, but 'really traumatised'.

This ain't just gang violence, this is M&S gang violence

Not as much as the copper has had to endure. Imagine being charged with murder for doing your job and the person involved was a murderer, or wannabe murderer, shooting people in nightclubs. Awful, I cant imagine what he went through for 2 years

I just read one and article by one of his old mates saying he tried talking him out of crime telling him he was too old for all that now. He replied easy money was better than working 9-5 for peanuts.

Now to a point I understand work can be boring and if you're stuck in a low paid job not very profitable. A life of crime though? The constant worry of being arrested and/or killed by your rivals or as in this case the police. Years wasted stuck in a shitty prison. All the money and goods you've attained seized by the p.o.c act. It's just not worth it.
