    The murder of Matt Ratana doesnt seem to have attracted quite the same level of outrage from areas of the public and certainly not in celebrity circles, as other controversial killings that have dominated world events this year. Maybe its because there isn’t footage all over social media, but I tend to think it’s more about the way in which the police have been demonised of late. And I worry about where it will end.

    I hope they throw away the key. 1 year away from retirement. Tragic.

    RIP.

    I can't understand why the guy was searched and handcuffed yet sill drew a weapon and killed Matt Ratana, then turned the gun on himself, another one that got under the radar, that had refused
    Rather he died in hospital, apparently he did die but the medics resuscitated him bollocks to a long prison sentence, the shooter was deemed a 'potential terror threat' and had been referred to the Prevent programme which aims to stop vulnerable people being drawn into extremism.

    Stupid to revive him only to give him 20 years, should have helped him on his way...
