Riots in Tottenham after cops shoot gangsta dead

[Davy of old England]

Met riot police officer suspended in racist abuse inquiry

Here we go...........

A policeman has been suspended after a man arrested during the London riots complained that he was subjected to racism, assault and harassment.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission investigated the officer, and two others, and a file was passed to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). After previously deciding not to press charges, the CPS is reassessing the alleged events of 11 August last year.

Neither of the other two police officers are currently suspended. 'Personally considered matter'. One has been placed on restricted duties on an unrelated matter while the other remains on full duties.

The CPS confirmed earlier that having decided not to press charges, it would be assessing the case again. Grace Ononiwu, deputy chief crown prosecutor for the CPS London, said: "Lawyers for the complainant have written to the CPS and asked us to review our decision.

"I have considered the matter personally and directed that all of the evidence should be reconsidered and a fresh decision taken by a senior lawyer with no previous involvement in this matter. "That process will be completed as soon as possible," she added.

A Scotland Yard spokesman confirmed that a complaint had been received. He said: "These are serious allegations; any use of racist language or excessive use of force is not acceptable.

"The MPS's Directorate of Professional Standards referred this case to the IPCC who are independently investigating. "Following the alleged incident, three officers were the subject of a misconduct investigation.

"One of the officers has been suspended in relation to this matter pending the result of the IPCC investigation. "One of the officers has been placed on restricted duties on an unrelated matter and another remains on full duties."

Police face racism scandal after black man records abuse

Crown Prosecution Service reviews decision not to charge officers heard boasting of strangling 21-year-old black man
Friday 30 March 2012 13.29 EDT

Scotland Yard is facing a racism scandal after a black man used his mobile phone to record police officers subjecting him to a tirade of abuse in which he was told: "The problem with you is you will always be a nigger".

The recording, obtained by the Guardian, was made by the 21-year-old after he was stopped in his car, arrested and placed in a police van the day after last summer's riots.

The man, from Beckton, east London, said he was made to feel "like an animal" by police. He has also accused one officer of kneeling on his chest and strangling him.

In the recording, a police officer can be heard admitting he strangled the man because he was "a ****". Moments later, another officer – identified by investigators as PC Alex MacFarlane – subjects the man to a succession of racist insults and adds: "You'll always have black skin. Don't hide behind your colour."

The Independent Police Complaints Commission referred the case to the Crown Prosecution Service on the basis that three officers, including MacFarlane, may have committed criminal offences.

The CPS initially decided no charges should be brought against any of the police officers. However on Thursday, the service said it would review the file after lawyers for the man threatened to challenge the decision in a high court judicial review. MacFarlane has been suspended.

The inquiry began after the victim handed his mobile phone to a custody desk in Forest Gate police station and told officers he had been abused.

Earlier, he had been driving through Beckton with a friend when he was stopped by a van containing eight police officers from Newham borough. London's streets were flooded with police who had been drafted in to contain the rioting.

The officers arrested the man on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and told him he was being taken to a police station to be searched. After being taken into the van, the man was also arrested for missing a previous magistrates court appearance. No further action is to be taken in relation to the suspected driving offence.

It was once inside the van and handcuffed that the man said he was assaulted by police. He described having his head pushed against the van window and said one officer placed his knees on his chest and began strangling him. "I couldn't breathe and I felt that I was going to die," he said.

The man said he decided to turn on the recording facility of his phone after MacFarlane allegedly made sexually explicit references about his mother and telling him he would be "dead in five years".

In the recording, the man sounds agitated; he raises his voice to complain about his treatment and in places insults the arresting officers. The verbal exchange lasts several minutes.

When the man tells an officer: "you tried to strangle me", the officer replies: "No, I did strangle you." The officer adds that he strangled him "'cos you're a ****" and that the man had been "kicking out". In relation to the strangling, the officer says: "Stopped you though, didn't it?"

Minutes later MacFarlane, who is white, begins abusing the man. After a period of silence, he can be heard telling him: "The problem with you is you will always be a nigger, yeah? That's your problem, yeah."

The man reads out MacFarlane's badge number and complains that he had subjected him to racist comments: "I'll always be a nigger – that's what you said, yeah?"

MacFarlane replies: "You'll always have black skin colour. Don't hide behind your colour, yeah." He adds: "Be proud. Be proud of who you are, yeah. Don't hide behind your black skin."

Shortly before the recording ends, the man can be heard saying: "I get this all the time." He then tells the officer: "We'll definitely speak again about this … It's gonna go all the way, it's gonna go all the way – remember."

The man's lawyer, Michael Oswald, said: "By his own efforts our client has put before the CPS exceptionally strong evidence and we share his astonishment that the CPS have reached a decision that no police officer should be prosecuted on the basis of that evidence. We do welcome their agreement to review that decision and we now await the outcome of that review."

The CPS initially said charges should not be brought against MacFarlane because the remarks did not cause the man harassment, distress or alarm.

Grace Ononiwu, deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS London, said: "Lawyers for [the complainant] have written to the CPS and asked us to review our decision. I have considered the matter personally and directed that all the evidence should be reconsidered and a fresh decision taken by a senior lawyer with no previous involvement in this matter."

Speaking to the Guardian, the 21-year-old was visibly shaken when recounting the ordeal. "It's hard to explain, but it makes you feel like a piece of **** – it makes you feel not even human," he said.

"I was glad that I had it on the recording. I knew that if I had it saved I could show that I had been abused.

"It's not right. We've just got different skin colour – underneath it we're all the same."

The Metropolitan police confirmed in a statement that it received a complaint on 11 August about alleged "racial" remarks and oppressive conduct.

"These are serious allegations; any use of racist language or excessive use of force is not acceptable."

The force said it had referred the case to the IPCC and that one officer had been suspended.

MacFarlane's solicitor, Colin Reynolds, said: "The officer has been the subject of an investigation, has co-operated in that and been advised he is not to be the subject of criminal proceedings."

Estelle du Boulay, director of the Newham Monitoring Project, said: "Sadly, the shocking treatment of this young man at the hands of police officers – both the physical brutality he describes and the racial abuse he claims he suffered – are by no means unusual; it compares to other reports we have received. What makes this case different is the victim had the foresight and courage to turn on a recording device on his mobile phone."

She compared the incident to the case of Liam Stacey, a student who was jailed for 56 days for posting offensive comments on Twitter after the on-pitch collapse of the Bolton Wanderers footballer Fabrice Muamba.

On Friday Swansea crown court rejected an appeal from Stacey, who used racist terms against other Twitter users.

When the student was sentenced in a magistrates court on Tuesday a senior lawyer at the CPS, Jim Brisbane, said: "Racist language is inappropriate in any setting and through any media. We hope this case will serve as a warning to anyone who may think that comments made online are somehow beyond the law."

Birmingham riots hero Tariq Jahan lied to police after arrest for alleged assault
Apr 3 2012

Tariq Khan arrives at Birmingham Crown Court​

The man praised for defusing tensions after the Birmingham riots has admitted telling a string of lies when questioned by police over an alleged assault.

Tariq Jahan, 46, of Winson Green, is said to have got out of his car and punched and kicked Sajjad Ali, 34, after accusing him of looking at his wife.

Mr Ali was left with a broken jaw and two missing teeth after the alleged attack at an industrial estate on Factory Road, Hockley, on July 6 last year.

When he was arrested two days later, Jahan denied being the driver – saying his car was at home at the time of the incident.

Birmingham Crown Court also heard when questioned by police Jahan denied knowing how Mr Ali had sustained his injuries and answered “no comment” to simple questions.

Jahan denies one charge of grievous bodily harm with intent, and inflicting grievous bodily harm.

Giving evidence on Tuesday, Jahan admitted he had initially lied about his involvement because he wanted to protect his wife, his family and he “wasn’t thinking straight.”

When asked by Shenaz Muzaffer, prosecuting, why he had lied in his first defence statement, Jahan said: “Once you started with one lie, you have to make up a thousand lies to cover that one lie.

“Once I started there was no turning back.”

Jahan told the jury of seven men and five women, that he had gone to Factory Road to pick his wife up from work and Mr Ali had mouthed words in his direction after he had honked at his co-worker to move his van.

Jahan said he acted in self defence after he left his car to reason with Mr Ali, who he claimed had headbutted him.

Jahan broke down in tears when asked about the moment he appealed for calm during last summer’s riots in which his son Haroon, aged 21, was killed together with two brothers Shazad Ali, 30, and Abdul Musavir, 31, after being struck by a car in Winson Green.

“I have my own loss at the time and I thought it wasn’t necessary for other people to suffer that,” he said.

It also emerged that Jahan had a conviction for false accounting and forgery in 1985, a conviction for conspiracy to rob in 1990.

He also received a caution for possession of cannabis in 2003 and a caution in 2004 for assault occasioning actual bodily harm in which he attacked his step mother.

Tottenham rioter and friend of Mark Duggan jailed for violent disorder
by Court Reporter
Monday, April 2, 2012 - 9:30 PM

A man “at the forefront” of the Tottenham riots who was caught on camera hurling bricks and bottles at police was a good friend of shooting victim Mark Duggan, a court heard.

Jerome Amankwah, 19, had even helped arrange the peaceful vigil with Mr Duggan’s family outside Tottenham police station just hours before the area descended into chaos.

Amankwah, of Rochford block in the Broadwater Farm Estate, Tottenham, was one of 300 demonstrators gathered outside the station in High Road on August 6 last year, Snaresbrook Crown Court heard.

The group was demanding ‘justice’ for the family of Mr Duggan, who had a gun hidden in a sock when he was shot dead by police in Ferry Lane, Tottenham.

The peaceful vigil soon descended into chaos as two squad cars were set on fire amid claims of police brutality. And when violence broke out, Amankwah joined in, pelting officers with missiles.

He was caught on CCTV, his face covered with a scarf, throwing bricks and bottles at the police line surrounding the station as the riot continued through the night.

He was still on the scene at 11.14am the next day, when he was filmed holding a fire extinguisher then picking up a chair and hurling it at officers.

The A Level student was arrested after the footage was analysed on January 12 this year, when he gave a statement pointing out his legal right to protest. He later admitted violent disorder.

Detaining him in a Young Offenders’ Institution for 21 months last Tuesday, Judge Simon Carr said: “You intended to hold a peaceful protest but you became involved in the extensive rioting that followed and not only destroyed parts of north London but started copycat riots around the country.

“You were at the forefront of this disturbance and actually threw items at the police lines although fortunately no officers were hit.”

Transformation: The image of a smiling schoolgirl, left, is in stark contrast to the grim-faced Laura Johnson, leaving Inner London Crown Court in London, on Wednesday, while the jury deliberated on its verdict

The court heard Laura wanted to protect boyfriend Emmanuel Okubote, 20

Conviction: Millionaire's daughter Laura Johnson leaving court last week​

Until that fateful night during the London Riots, last year, Laura Johnson appeared every bit the privileged daughter of a millionaire businessman.

A straight-A student from one of the best schools in the country living in her parents £1million mansion, she had limitless opportunities.

But her decision to shun her respectable background and embrace an ‘exciting new world’ of cannabis, alcohol and violent gangster rap music, has left the 20-year-old's prospects in tatters.

The strain of two weeks of evidence at her trial for taking part in a looting rampage, appears to have taken a heavy toll on the former grammar school prefect, who was described in court as having willingly take part in an ‘orgy of looting’.

The carefree smile of a girl with a bright future ahead, had long since vanished by the time the jury returned its guilty verdict.

The Exeter University student was visibly shaken when it dawned that she faced years in prison for acting as a chauffeur for a drug-dealing gangster and his friends as they pillaged electrical goods during a seven-hour crime spree.

Dressed demurely in a black pencil skirt and peach blouse, grim-faced Johnson stared blankly ahead, swaying slightly, as the two guilty verdicts were read out.

After the trial, a jury at Inner London Crown Court yesterday found Johnson guilty of burglary and handling stolen goods. The maximum sentence for handling is 14 years.

Judge Patricia Lees warned her and a 17-year-old accomplice, who cannot be named for legal reasons, to expect prison sentences.

She said: ‘You have been convicted of serious offences. These offences are aggravated by the fact they were committed within the timeframe of the civil unrest last summer in London.

‘This spree of burglaries and handling stolen goods that you both took a willing part in will attract most certainly in my mind the likelihood of a custodial sentence.’

After leaving the dock Johnson, who has mental health problems and has made numerous suicide attempts, wished reporters a ‘happy Easter’.

Her parents Robert and Lindsay, who have sat in court each day, refused to comment but her father, a 56-year-old company director, said he would consider an appeal.

Throughout the trial, Johnson claimed she had been terrified into driving convicted robber and ‘bad boy’ Emmanuel Okubote, 20, and his friends, with talk of guns and knives.

She said she had been virtually kidnapped and was acting entirely out of duress because the men were ‘not the sort of people you say no to’.

She also blamed her descent into lawlessness on being raped by two men in the weeks leading up to the riots – an allegation which went unreported to the police – and on having a complete mental breakdown after being dumped by her previous boyfriend.

But after almost 11 hours of deliberation, a jury of four women and eight men yesterday rejected this and agreed with the prosecution that Johnson, then 19, had been acting of her own free will as she joined hundreds of looters who ‘scurried like wild rats’.

The Exeter University student, who lives in her parents’ £1million country house in Orpington, Kent, had become infatuated with Okubote.

So desperate was she to please him that she drove him and two other balaclava-clad passengers as they looted branches of Currys and Comet in South-East London.

When she was arrested, Johnson revved the engine at police officers who said they ‘feared for their lives’. Inside her car they found a haul of cigarettes, alcohol and televisions and a ‘quantity’ of condoms in Johnson’s purse.

Earlier in the day she had been sending sexual and flirtatious texts to Okubote, whom she met through a friend in a mental health institute, saying how much she ‘missed’ the drug dealer.

Okubote is currently in Feltham Young Offenders Institution after being recalled for breaching his licence in relation to a 30-month conviction for possession of crack cocaine with intent to supply. He has previous convictions for robbery, burglary, theft, assault and possessing an imitation firearm.

He was charged with kidnap last August after a man accused him of throwing bleach in his face. But when the case came to trial in January the prosecution offered no evidence and a formal not guilty verdict was entered.

Johnson was convicted along with the 17-year-old of one count of burglary at Comet and one count of handling stolen goods at Currys but found not guilty of a third count of burglary or an alternative one of handling stolen goods at a BP petrol station. Her accomplice had previously pleaded guilty to burgling the BP petrol station. Johnson was granted bail and will be sentenced on May 3.

A third passenger, Alex Elliott-Joahill, 18, had pleaded guilty to charges of burglary and handling stolen goods.

Gordon Thompson

'I burned Reeves Corner': Facebook boasts of riot thug jailed for 11 years after admitting he burnt down historic furniture store

A looter who boasted 'I burned Reeves Corner' minutes after he set fire to a 150-year-old furniture store was today handed the longest jail sentence of any of last summer's rioters.

Gordon Thompson, 34, used a cigarette lighter to set fire to a sofa in the window of a 144-year-old family business during a night of anarchy.

Moments before he started the blaze, Thompson had been shouting ‘Who’s got a lighter?’ and ‘Let’s torch the place’.

The fire destroyed House of Reeves in Croydon, south London, and was so fierce it spread to other properties, forcing residents to leap for their lives.

The career criminal’s ‘deliberate, wilful act of shocking, dangerous vandalism’ put numerous lives at risk and caused at least £3.5million worth of damage.

Jailing the father of two for 11-and-a-half years, Judge Peter Thornton said that the ‘real cost’ of his reckless actions ‘was in human and emotional terms’.

The judge said: ‘The Reeves family lost their historic business, something they and generations before them had lived and worked for all their lives.

‘The loss was priceless. The trauma they have suffered is inestimable. It is extreme good fortune, and no thanks to you, that nobody died or was seriously injured. But they will be scarred emotionally for a long time.’

The store had passed through five generations of the Reeves family and survived two world wars. Its charred remains have been demolished, but the company is still trading from premises across the street.

Owners Trevor Reeves, 56, and his father Maurice, 81, were at the Old Bailey yesterday to see Thompson sentenced.

Outside court, they said they had accepted his belated apology after ‘a very harsh eight months’.

Metropolitan Police officer to be charged over racism claim

A Metropolitan Police officer is to be charged with racially abusing a suspect during the London riots, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has said.

A review by the CPS found "sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction" of PC Alex MacFarlane.

It has now advised the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) to press charges.

It comes after a review was carried out following a decision by the CPS not to charge the officer in January.

London's chief prosecutor, Alison Saunders, said lawyers for the 21-year-old man behind the complaint challenged that decision and a review was carried out.

The advice to charge Mr MacFarlane was issued after a more senior lawyer - who was not previously involved - decided there was enough evidence to prosecute.

Currently 18 Met officers and one civilian staff member are being investigated over alleged racism.

The police watchdog announced on Monday that it would now automatically investigate all alleged incidents of racism against the Metropolitan Police.

Jailed ... Darrell Desuze

Perverting course of justice ... Desuze’s mother Lavinia

Richard Mannington Bowes pictured at his sister's wedding

Teenage riot killer gets eight years - out after four years ?

THE teenager who killed pensioner Richard Mannington Bowes during the summer riots was sentenced to eight years’ in prison today.

Darrell Desuze, 17, punched the elderly man to the ground as disturbances swept the country on August 8 last year.

Mr Bowes, who had been trying to put out a fire in a dustbin near his home in Ealing, west London, suffered brain damage and died three days later in hospital.

Desuze’s mother Lavinia was jailed for 18 months at the same court today for perverting the course of justice by cutting up his clothes.

Desuze, who could be named after an order banning his identification was lifted by a judge, admitted manslaughter last month.

Mr Justice Saunders said he took into account the teenager’s previous guilty pleas to violent disorder and burglary at William Hill, Tesco Express, Blockbusters and Fatboys Thai restaurant on August 8, when passing sentence.

The judge said Desuze “played a full part in the violence” and could be seen on CCTV smashing windows, looting shops, throwing missiles at police and wheeling rubbish bins into the street so they could be set on fire.

He said most people were afraid to go out, and those caught up in the violence would have been “terrified”.

“One person who was not terrified to be out and was not prepared to be forced off the streets was Richard Mannington Bowes.”

He said CCTV showed the pensioner moving among the riots and trying to prevent fires started in the bins from spreading.

He said: “The death of Mr Bowes was pointless and unnecessary and it became for the public one of the most, if not the most, shocking event of the riots in London.”

Birmingham riots: Men jailed for attack on police
9 October 2012 Last updated at 21:38

Police CCTV footage showed that shots were fired at the force helicopter

The four were jailed for their part in the attack on police during riots in Birmingham in August 2011​

Twelve shots were fired at officers and a police helicopter after a petrol bomb attack on the Bartons Arms pub, Aston.

Beniha Laing, 29, was sentenced to 35 years and Wesley Gray, 27, was given 29 years in jail.

Both men, of no fixed abode, were found guilty of charges including riot, violent disorder, arson and possession of a gun with intent to endanger life.

Video: Lee teenager Alexander Elliott-Joahill jailed for Lewisham and Greenwich riots rampage
2:49pm Thursday 20th September 2012 in News

"Shameful and abhorrent" - Alexander Elliott-Joahill ​

A 19-YEAR-OLD Lee man has been sentenced to eight years in prison after committing a catalogue of offences during last summer's London riots.

Blackfriars Crown Court heard today how Alexander Elliott-Joahill, of Baring Road, went on a rampage from 4.20pm on August 8 to 2.15am the following day.

He wore a black hoody zipped over his face, which bore a white skull design, while committing the offences.

He was also a passenger of the car driven by Laura Johnson, 20, of Orpington. She was jailed for two years in May for driving rioters around London, stealing and handling stolen goods.

Alison Wilkes, prosecuting, told how Elliott-Joahill was first seen at 4.20pm in Lewisham High Street with a large serrated fishing knife, which he jerked at police.

He then led a group of rioters who attacked a police car with two officers inside.

He threw a brick at the passenger window, smashing glass all over one female police officer. She received serious cuts to her hands and arms.

In a statement the officer said: “There was a real atmosphere of panic and terror.

“If we didn’t get the car started we would’ve been dragged from the car, seriously hurt or killed.”

The court was shown CCTV footage of Elliot-Joahill then moving to Black-Heath Antiques in Lewisham High Street.

Its owner, Mohammed Mazir, had barricaded his shop and was washing, with his son, before evening prayer.

His shop was raided and all his items were stolen. He was also assaulted.

Elliot-Joahill then raided a skip for bottles and bricks which he hurled at a line of police officers. He also threw a large gas canister at officers.

He then returned to the antique shop and was seen running away from it with a bundle of DVDs and games under his arm.

At 7pm Elliott-Joahill burst into Favorite Fried Chicken in Catford Broadway, Catford.

CCTV showed him jumping on top of the counter. Members of a rioting group then threw chairs and tables at staff behind the desk while two young customers with a baby looked on in shock.

The looters fled after the shop's owner repeatedly threw boiling oil at them. But not before they left with his till.

Elliott-Joahill then joined up with Laura Johnson.

She drove Elliott-Joahill and Christopher Edwards, from Catford, who was 17 at the time, around as they stole from various shops.

Elliott-Joahill and Christopher Edwards loaded the car up with cigarettes and alcohol from a BP garage, electrical goods and other items from Comet, Currys, PC World and Halfords.

The trio was arrested early that morning.

Elliott-Joahill told police at the time: “I was picked up by a friend who asked me to help carry some TVs from Comet.

“We were just putting stuff in our cars,” he added.

Elliott-Joahill pleaded guilty to 10 charges. These included three of burglary, one of violent disorder, one criminal damage offence, one of possessing a knife, one of robbery and three charges of handling stolen goods.

A jury previously found him guilty of attempted GBH with intent to harm a police officer.

Daniel Kersher, defending, said his client recognised his crimes were "shameful and abhorrent" and "utter lunacy on his part", but that he was just 18 at the time.

Judge Julian Malins said in sentencing: "This is one of the worst series of incidents committed during the riots which occurred on the 8th and 9th of August last year."

He sentenced Elliott-Joahill to a total of eight years in jail. He will serve the first part of his sentence in a young offenders’ institute before being moved to an adult jail when he is 21.

Police confirmed after the sentencing there are thousands of people left to be contacted by the police in connection with the riots.

Man guilty of supplying Duggan gun
Updated: 31 January 2013 14:51 |

A drug dealer has been convicted of supplying a gun to Mark Duggan, whose fatal shooting by police just minutes later sparked the 2011 summer riots.

Kevin Hutchinson-Foster was found guilty at the Old Bailey of giving Mr Duggan the gun just 15 minutes before he was shot dead on August 4, 2011. The 29-year-old's death in Ferry Lane, Tottenham, north London, sparked riots that swept across London and other English towns and cities.

Hutchinson-Foster, 30, who is already in prison for drugs offences and was on licence at the time he gave Mr Duggan the gun, had already pleaded guilty to using the same gun to threaten people in a barber's shop just six days before, as well as using it to "pistol whip" a barber.

He is seen on CCTV threatening Peter Osadebay, then returning and beating him with the gun until he nearly lost consciousness.

Hutchinson-Foster had pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

He denied selling or transferring a prohibited firearm to Mr Duggan between July 28 and August 5, 2011, and a jury failed to reach a verdict in an original trial, prompting a retrial at the Old Bailey which led to his conviction. He will be sentenced for all three charges on February 26.

The court heard that Mr Duggan, who was under police surveillance that day and the day before, had gone in the minicab to Leyton, east London, where he collected the the BBM Bruni Model 92 handgun in a shoebox from Hutchinson-Foster, before continuing to Tottenham.

The cab was pulled over by armed police in four unmarked cars in a "hard stop", and as Mr Duggan got out clutching the gun, he was shot by CO19 officers.

After the verdict, chief superintendent Dean Haydon, from Scotland Yard's trident gang crime command said: "There is an ongoing IPCC investigation into the death of Mark Duggan and the circumstances of his death will be a matter for the coroner at a later date."

He said there had been a 20% reduction in gun crime over the past four years, adding: "The Kevin Hutchinson-Foster trial has primarily been about the supply of an illegal firearm and I welcome the verdict of the jury in this case today."
