Smith and Western?
Good to stop grooming + exploitation and the violence… but all of this over marijuana? Legalise it ffs.
Free da GUYZ
But grooming gangs don't exist🤦♂️
The guy is lying about dreaming
whats the music video called?😂
Oh what a lovely society we have created.
Channel 4 yt channel poppin
Remember folks, they’ll blame e-bikes for shooting before addressing any social economic problems and investing in the poor communities
Who clicked for the submachinegun? FGC-9
MERCIA BABY, guns and weed for all
gangs should be fighting within theselfves without the harm of innocents😂
Policing drugs trade that produce violence, a dog chasing its own tail. Legalising cannabis would have made this whole investigation irrelevant. What a waste of time and waste of people
Takes a strong head to say no more drugs and no more drinking alcohol, how weak is your mind? hmmm?
Haven’t got a brain between them 🙈 uploading their crimes
Why’s the track called anyone
Dude thinks we'd believe he thought he was only firing nerf pellets at a car.
Dumbest criminals I've seen
Self snitching is reaching epidemic levels! God I'm embarrassed for these so called 'gang bangers' who clearly couldnt organise a jelly and ice cream party! 😝
Searching someone for just riding an e-bike is insane , literally have no evidence someone has done something wrong.
I arrest u cuz you wearing black riding an e bike 😂😂😂 the british police completly lost it
Labour imported doctors and engineers
So banning blank firing guns hasn't helped the situation? Who would of thought
For once courts give a suitable sentence and all the police work isn't wasted.
Maybe you shouldn't be stopping people for no reason whatsoever other than riding a fucking bike. I wouldn't stop either, that is fucked.
See how guys are just out here wasting their lives
£1000 a month? Bro get a job man
Did I hear £1000 a month they could of got a job and made 2k plus a month
I wouldnt say tackled them, plenty flying around here!
Use a chainsaw for glass and a hammer for the door. You guys probably use the drugs you are confiscating 😂😂
Police are the ones losing the game of cat and mouse…
Imagine what the UK is going to be like 10-20 years from now. Take your time.
1k a month is £30 a day 😢
Bruh that’s less then minimum wage
At what point does a "community" step up and take resposibilty for its youths behaviour instead of blaming everyone else!!!!
