ACTIONS BY
OFFICERS WERE INDEFENSIBLE
I Am WRITING
with my support for Carl Wagner, who was recently featured in the Mail after
his outrageous treatment by the police.
With the
Government making cannabis a Class C drug from January 29, the treatment Mr
Wagner and his family received beggars belief.
It would be
sensible to first study the movements of someone before breaking down doors, ruining
decor and scaring children half to death before Christmas.
This sort of
behaviour will be frowned upon from January 29, when police will have to use
their "discretion" when arresting cannabis users.
So why do the
police in Hull find it appropriate to behave like this?
If these are the
same police who allowed Ian Huntley to begin a new life in a children's school
with his history, it is hardly surprising that Mr Wagner is getting such grief.
The police do
have better things to do, but they prefer to do the easy jobs.
