That says a lot about you that you would ignore someone getting beaten up to satisfy some perverse revenge for a slight.

Yes Derek, of course there must be another side to the story. How could I not be guilty of something if the police somehow thought I was. What was clear that when they realised there wasn't any drugs being cultivated in the premises there was signs that they started quickly searching for something else before I arrived. They searched items which I believe they suspected to contain firearms, again not had anything like that since I had an 0.77 air rifle in my teens.
Remember this was a well organised raid that was held in conjunction with officers also arriving at my parents house. After all, they seemed to think without a shred of evidence that I was 'Mr Big' around here in the drugs business. The bottom line, is that they were so far from the truth (Apart from having one drag on a joint about 12 years ago) I have no involvement with drugs or any other illegal activity.
The only reason the DI could come up with for carrying out the raid was that they had 'sufficient evidence that I was running a large scale drugs operation' and that 'I have a security camera outside my front door'. Then the legal department said the reason they wasn't going to pay compensation was because my back door was barricaded from inside. In reality they are referring to the fact it was well secured with bolts top and bottom to stop intruders, but a bit of a lame excuse to use because they had already started smashing it down before they discovered that. Everything from them was damage limitation as they seem to have a habit of doing this sort of thing around here and getting away with it.
To be fair to him, the DI involved took the time to meet with me and couldn't have been more apologetic about the 'mistake' and said that they realised they had no business being in my property within minutes of forcing entry. He also appeared to try his best to get their legal department to compensate for the damage, It appears that they just didn't want to admit any liability for their incompetence through fear that I would be making a big claim. The reality was I just wanted to be paid for the cost of a door and frame, I wasn't too annoyed with them at the time. I actually had a laugh, and all my close friends thought it unbelievably funny that I could be involved in drugs and annoyed that the police was so incompetent.
The PCSO who had been asking questions around here about me for weeks, immediately disappeared from this area of his beat. Over the period of a few years previously he used to pop into my parents for a cup of tea when on his round, very strange how he is still only seen in the Southern part of this area now. He crosses the road if he sees my parents, has turned around and gone in a different direction when spotting me and couldn't even make eye contact with me as I passed him in the street when he was with a copper. He was obviously hauled over the hot coals, but it was obviously done quietly to save the force embarrassment.
I guess though in the eyes of some I must be guilty because the police thought so, obviously I must be up to something, so what am I leaving out of the story and what do you think I'm hiding then Derek?
BTW: I have in the past assisted the police, on one occasion I got into a police car to go and assist an officer catch 2 guys who had seriously assaulted someone outside my house. Why the hell would I help hem now after the way I was treated?
Gwent police didn't have the guts to admit 'officially' that they got it wrong, instead they abused their authority to walk over an innocent member of the public. (No matter what you may think Derek)
