As I said he rolled up and this all happened in less than 20 seconds of his arrival.

He sees one girl turn on another with a knife and acts to save her.


Exactly, it's a perfectly justified use of force. But what I hate is the media dog-whistling this by always putting her skin colour in the headline and then only mention she was armed and threatening someone's life further down at a point that someone has already been baited and won't fully grasp the facts.

It's not just the media - it's the White House ... the US Executive Branch of the Govt now engaged in race-baiting to cause trouble.

The whole fooking system is going to shit over there, they will rue the day they let mob forces take precedence over justice. As for the white house, getting involved is a fooking joke the senile one doesn't know what day it is let alone anything else, it's him number 2 stirring the shite, I wonder why lol

The police have also accused him of threatening his manager to stop her from filing a disciplinary report against him.

That manager later retired, police added, and his ongoing absence was never noticed by her successor or human resources.


Probably mafia.

It's a well known extortion method used by the mafia in Italy and America. They get people 'employed' and draw the salary, but they never show up for work. The employer or manager is under pain of death if they say anything.

In the eyes of the law it makes it much harder to prove than simply showing up and demanding money with menaces.

Few minutes away from where I live. Go past there on the way to work. He was one of my cousins students.

He was defending his friend.

This is in daylight. Someone must've seen something.

Surely his friend saw the whole incident from up close?

He must be the star witness.

Knife crime is way out of hand in London - police need far more power.
It's over 50 incidents a day now.
Death from knife attacks is 1 every 3 days.
