Crime and Policing BillContribution
Two years ago, there was the horrendous shooting of John Caldwell, a police officer in the Mid Ulster area. This was someone who was attacked by dissident republicans when he was helping to coach young people playing football. He had life-changing injuries and was very fortunate to survive. However, when the police went into an area to detain two of the suspects, there were cheers from the surrounding young people, not because of the arrests but in support of those who committed the attack.
