Gunner: My Life in Cricket

Product Information

After hearing about what had happened to Peter, I was keen to help him, and curious to examine the evidence. PC Healey and PC Hissy of Greater Manchester Police were on foot patrol in the public areas of the airport having been notified of a black male causing a disturbance. PC Little and PC Hillier then approached Jervon where he was sitting down, still in the partitioned area, and clearly not posing a threat to anyone or anything.

Furthermore, there was no evidence from the complainant, Peter’s neighbour, that he had actually seen Peter holding or threatening to use a ‘knife’.PC Miller spoke with Peter’s neighbour, who alleged that Peter had approached him with what appeared to be a knife in his pocket and had threatened people. It need hardly be added that the subsequent prosecution of Peter failed at trial, and he was completely exonerated from any wrongdoing. PS Rees now approached Zac and asked whether they were “ In a different place now where we can have an adult conversation? Have you ever had to listen to the terrified screams of your children whilst you’re told not to move and keep your hands where they can be seen whilst three men go into every room of your house without any explanation, leaving you unable to comfort or explain what was happening to your distraught,terrified children?

Jervon turned and saw that a woman had made physical contact with him; she apologised, stating that she thought Jervon was someone else. He umpired his first Test match – between South Africa v Bangladesh at Bloemfontein, 19–22 November 2008. In my opinion the officers involved in this incident were disgracefully treating a mentally vulnerable individual like a second-class citizen, denied the full respect and protection of the law. Gould also played cricket in Devon, where he represented Budleigh Salterton and Exmouth but struggled to find form on the slower wickets in the South West.PC Miller approached Peter’s ground-floor flat and opened a window; through that window he spoke to my client, who was inside the flat, and who stated that he did not wish to discuss the matter. PC Healey then went on to explain his reasoning, like this – “ Refusing to give details mate, you could be a murderer, couldn’t you, that’s on the run?

Gould played football as a goalkeeper representing Slough Town and Arsenal, thus earning himself the nickname "Gunner". Zac complained that he had been stopped because he was a young black male and that this was a common occurrence. I would here observe that Professional Standards Department investigators commonly behave in this manner, as if they are the advocates of the Officers complained about and opponents of the complainants). After an arrest for a minor domestic matter in September 2022, Adam found himself homeless and was staying with a friend.Accordingly, he advised that he would get out of his vehicle and turned off the engine, undid his seatbelt and wound up the driver’s window. Ehab’s brother went into the house to retrieve the Warrant Card and as he did so PC Langford completely unnecessarily threatened Ehab, who had remained outside, with the words “ If he goes in and locks the door we are going to have to force entry and make it very difficult for you mate. Although he had legitimate reason to complain about PC Roose, Adam also feared that he might be subjected to future reprisals from the Police because of his complaint. I have likewise previously highlighted the unedifying habit of the Metropolitan Police which is seemingly to encourage its officers to exercise a non-existent power of “detention” short of arrest, in the cynical knowledge that most people will assume that they need to ‘stay put’ simply because a Police Officer is telling them to do so. There is an old, half jocular saying which goes “No good deed goes unpunished” and this was a lesson which my client Ehab El- Masry and his brother learned all too well one December night not very long ago, when their attempt to be good citizens and perform a seasonal act of kindness was met by a gang of Metropolitan Police officers with distrust, violence, assault and arrest.
