A report in the January 10th edition of the Messenger stated that Inspector Alistair MacDonald claimed there was no evidence of a gang culture in Stretford, in response to "Doddington" graffiti sprayed on a wall in Pinnington lane.
I find that very strange, as this is the same officer that recently threatened me with prosecution for sending a letter to the Chief Constable that was considered to be racist in content!
When I reported the activities of a certain gang in Stretford that are openly selling drugs under the full observation of obvious and covert CCTV cameras!
Now we have yet another shooting in the very same location.
If my complaint had been about a Polish, Irish or Asian gangs would they have adopted the same approach, why are the Police afraid to act against a certain element in society, and why should a normal citizen be threatened with prosecution just for giving an ethnic description of certain offenders?
