Morning all, I decided today would be the day that I make a complaint against the Police for.the qay in which they allowed my family members home (young person at that!) To be attacked and vandalised whilst they stood by and guarded it they allowed missiles to be thrown window to be broken it was horrific and it's scarred me for.life I've had counselling I'm.not.going to go into all that again as it's on many threads I've done on here but I was always scared to address it to the police in case they publicised anything and my family got dragged through the mud again but I can't sit back and keep feeling the way I do I think of it every day and night in life and I cannot believe that the police allowed it to happen they were asked if it was OK to do a peaceful protest which they did allowed but it was far from that it was a circus with children and everything there it was absolute chaos and the police didn't once tell the crowd enough was enough they allowed those thugs to destroy a family home they stood by and allowed it and I can never forgive it I want that to never be allowed to happen to anyone else so this morning I lodged a complaint telling them how it has affected my life. They probably won't care I'm aware of that but I'm glad I've told them I needed to get it off my chest ..yes it's two years ago but it haunts me . ........

Thank you ladies , little Robin i too complained to my MP he did respond but only to ask how I was , he mentioned he was in talks with the police about vigilante groups but when I asked him how that was going and what the outcome was I heard nothing. I sent another email asking again and again I hear nothing so another person that is just going to let it slide for family members , I know nothing will be done about the police and what they allowed , and please I know they can't solve all of our problems but they are supposed to be there to protect people and I don't mean my young person specifically although in his situation yes he needed protection but it was like the police were allowing the public to treat him so badly forgetting they knew nothing much of his conviction other than they new it was iioc so in my opinion they thought he deserved it. If only they knew the half of it but it's done and I want the police to know how their actions or lack of affected me and will stay with me for life. Xx

@winnie07 that's terrible but unfortunately I feel your pain as was the same with out youmg family member the hound dogs were cheering for joy when he was carted into the back of the van in a situation they were allowed to take into their own hands by the police because of that the media (papers) reported they left so much out they through him to the dogs when he himself had been through so much it's was devastating I will never ever get over that pain it's taken a massive peace of my life away from me and no matter what I do I just can't get over it, I was terrified initially to make a complaint incase the police did a media report on it then people would directly come for me I was terrified but I had to let them know how their lack of support for my family and safety has gotten me here and to a place in my life where I will never trust the police ever for safety.
