Danny Major - The police turn on themselves.

The case of Danny Major has been brought to the attention of WNOW.

-------------


We are Major family,Danny Major was a police officer who was set up by other police officers for an assault one of them commited.Dannys dad also a police officer was given cctv footage that proves Danny is innocent,and the curupt officers lied in court and in their statments.The police are furios with us for getting this cctv footage.We have had our eyes truly opened and are shocked that the police would sacrifice an innocent officer rather than do the right thing and send the guilty ones to prison.They are more interested in saving the reputation of West Yorkshire police than the truth.Anyone reading this can GOOLGE Danny Major and see a small amount of what they have done to this man and his family.WE WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER give up untill the Major name is cleared.

I am so sorry to hear of your situation.

However, I utterly admire any who would stand against the wall of silence that too often occurs if misconduct takes place.

I have witnessed shocking behaviour from individual officers but for me the hardest thing to bear was the amount of officers that stood back and allowed it to happen and then by their inaction allow the misconduct to be justified.

"Evil is done by good men who do nothing."

It seems that Danny Major is a victim of this.

The WNOW campaign supports good officers by protecting them from spurious accusations. It seems that it is needed for such claims from within as well as without.

I will do some googling but if there is a way that I can support you, please let me know.

My thoughts are with you.

This case has made me realise that although many of the cases that the injustices that I have encountered must be hard to bear, it must be even more bleak if you are an officer yourself bearing the brunt of it.

The officers that criminalised me did not do so out of any personal reasons, they were merely protecting their own. (Although I understand this, it is not a condonable action still.)

The decision to sacrifice one officer over another is so much more calculated. There have to be personal reasons surely?

It is my impression that it is an extraordinary event no matter the severity of misconduct if an officer remonstrates in any way about the conduct of a colleague, let alone makes formal complaint.

The lack of such, should raise alarm bells, well it does in my mind at least.

In separate news, apparently it is an acceptable professional police standard for the police to put a man with mental health problems in a cell for 8 hours and then threaten to prosecute for several months only to drop the case due to no evidence.

All for giving them the finger with no witnesses.

The complaint result was utterly what I have come to expect. Inference of guilt without fair trial and cherry picking of facts in order to justify inappropriate use of powers. Absolutely no attempt to see the situation from the complainants point of view.

We will appeal.
