This town, and the country, seems to be going to the dogs at a terrifying rate. This used to be a pretty nice town

It’s still a nice town and there are still lovely and amazing people in this town. We just hear the negative things. Yes it’s changed, it’s about time positive things were documented rather than negative 😡

So suspicion or “was carrying”? Where is the item? What’s going to happen? What did you know?… so many questions for the police and from us, the public tax paying people’s. What the hell are we paying for with our new C-Tax rise? This individual will possibly be released without further action, all because there’s nothing the police will/can do.

TC—- I agree. Not enough positivity in the news. Main stream or otherwise

Fails to mention the police had to taser this man, spray him with CS Gas and still struggled to restrain him. I bet he’s been released with no charges even though he clearly is a danger to public!
