The Detectives: Fighting Organised Crime

[Tim of the Oak]

Eh..?? Labour voted against longer prison sentences for people who assault emergency service workers recently

I can’t imagine the coppers taking pictures with dead murder victims were very left wing (but they might be).

Evers looked like he was a patsy

Good edit '-)

You only have to look at the matches over the last 12 months to see there loons of a wide variety of political persuasions

No idea what that has to do with the original point being made about dangerous prisoners in Custody threatening emergency service workers, while not bring handcuffed.

Despicable no doubt. But again nothing to do with the topic being discussed and i bet you have no idea of their political persuasion anyway. While we know for sure Labour voted against protecting emergency service workers! And the loony left want to defund the police. Bonkers doesnt cover it!!

Maybe is contributes to a feeling of resentment against coppers. Hopefully, most peole see that most coppers are doing a good job.

Focussing on the first episode, many peole won’t lose any sleep about notorious thugs taking out notorious drugs dealers. I guess most people having got 34k in cash lying around in case of an emergency

The vast majority of Coppers are doing a great job.

People will potentially lose sleep,as has already been discussed in the 13 pages prior,as shit rolls down hill,and the wider consequences and ramifications of such actions can be far reaching and possibly life altering.

I agree with you about most coppers and I said as much.

Regarding drug dealers getting a kicking, sometimes the knock on affects are harmful and other times they have a positive spin off. Some drug dealers got a kicking at the bottom of my road a month ago. It’s been very quiet since then.

Welcome to my world boys. Ive been a detective for 20 years. No wonder Im knackered

I have a number of fishing pals that were senior detectives. Boy, they have some tails to tell. Like spending the day with Rebus.

In the past there have been dominant crime 'families' in Manchester..and although taxing still happened it was at a lesser scale...this appears to have escalated as there are no 'Mr Bigs' on the plot. This is either a good or bad thing. Police operations in the gunchester era cleared out a whole middle tier creating a disconnect between the top end older strata. who made money and got out...and the younger end left with no boundaries or restraints.
Lets be careful out there.

Went to primary school with Darren Berkeley.

Was a rum little **** even at that age and it's no surprise he ended up as he did.

Buller is part of the same mob as Alphonso and Fidel who were both boys about town when I was growing up. Went on to become major faces on the Madchester / rave scene.

Yep, I have come across Berkeley, a right rum **** even in his early teenage years, giving it the big one.

Had a run in with him when I was about 17, and him giving it 'don't you know who I am?' Thankfully I used to play football with him a bit when he was much younger, so probably a lucky escape, seemingly!

He always had his little group of cunts going around and saying they were 'with' Berkeley.

It was a great watch and will look forward to episode two.
