Why are Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) fabricating events/evidence 35 years on? What purpose does it serve? Inquests done, “trials” done. There will never be justice or accountability. There is nowhere to go. What do you gain from it? #coverup #liars

Can someone name one institution that isn’t broken?

Beyond the shocking detail is the most graphic example of corruption & collusion in living memory. It continues after #NorthantsThief dismissal & sensational headlines. Crown Prosecution Service has had enough time to review the evidence.

CCTV fact: Several officers, including some in the PSD, recorded viewing footage which cleared officers of any wrongdoing. If they were truthful they must have working copies. Where are those copies? If lying, they must be prosecuted.

If Luton grifter and born again champion of keeping cops safe - despite his own conviction for assault - follows through on bringing his ‘patriots’ to Mcr/Rochdale in protest over Manchester Airport incident, Stevo & Burnham could make good use of this.

FWIW, I believe there are tens of thousands of good honest cops. They are cowed or intimidated from speaking out and have no protection if they do, it poses a massive risk to their livelihood. Lots of case studies to support this.

When the dust settles, an expert will examine whether it was wise for firearms officers to approach reportedly (and subsequently proven) violent suspects at close quarters in the way they did. This isn’t a hindsight thing, they’re armed for a reason.

Whilst new airport footage proves the brothers were not the innocents they portrayed themselves as, #GMP’s press release & officers’ actions contrary to training & intelligence received is a concern. Balance.

Hearing Greater Manchester Police AFOs are threatening to down their weapons because a colleague was suspended, means this incident has more twists & turns than a F1 race. Now it’s left in the hands of 2 corrupt bodies, #GMP & #IOPC. What could go wrong?

Rider: Airport assault bros must face charges Imagine sections of policing re-posting Luton grifter’s rhetoric about the airport incident, he’s keen to hijack anything Muslim related for his own ends. Not about the cops for him. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6…

Apart from the obvious involving this idiot, he forgets one thing in his rhetoric. Are AFOs trained to steam in using (ineffective) unarmed combat towards known violent suspects? I can wait. Secondly - Why does he still have a police issue cap?

He’s clueless. Lest we forget he was a Nick Adderley fan boy. We all know how that ended.

It can only be seen as a good thing. Unfortunately for the AFOs involved, their approach to this hostile situation will be overlapped against what they knew & their training. If approached as per their training, it wouldn’t have happened.

You have to wonder how much the Luton grifter contributed to the Go Fund Me page for the GMP AFO he claims to care about. Will his police followers & admirers from a safe distance check this out? Anyone? x.com/lucymarionbrow…

*If* it goes to trial & after all of that + CCTV is dissected frame by frame based on what he knew or suspected he would be dealing with, situational stress/PTSD - already muted by deposed #PFEW Chair & serving cop Lee Broadbent can be considered.

Stevo Watson and/or someone delegated by him should really advise serving officers from publicly commenting on this irrespective of the merits of any argument. He has no mandate over the public, but he does over officers.

Fear of Luton grifter bringing a crew to Mcr/Rochdale seems to have passed, he has other priorities right now. No doubt his following in the NW will be keeping an eye on his movements. On ⬆️ Andy Burnham needs to examine his conscience.

So let's see what happens next shall we?

So concerned about his gun being taken, he went to ground with someone he wanted to arrest after spraying him in the face without considering other options. 2nd time he steamed in without tac comms or red dotting. news.sky.com/story/police-o…

There was nothing split second about the PAVA spray. He had back up and a Taser but chose to go to ground. We'll agree to disagree, Barry.
