Met police is axing anti-terror attack dogs in an attempt to cut costs
SCOTLAND Yard is getting rid of its elite anti-terror attack dogs in an attempt to cut costs. The Belgian Malinois are trained to attack a target even if they stop fleeing. 2 Used in the Counter Terrorist Specialist Firearms Officer unit, they have helped to detain a large number of suspects without the need for officers to fire weapons. In 2018, the unit had four operational Malinois. Training and housing the dogs can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds each year. They cannot live with handlers and are kennelled at their London HQ. Officials said the 'tough decision' to axe the Conflict Management Dogs would help to patch up a £260million hole in its finances. But sources argue the dogs are a less lethal option than using firearms because since they have been used, the CTSFO unit has not had one fatal shooting. Malinois can be trained to be parachuted from helicopters and are used by Special Forces including the SAS. "We continue to have a sizeable dog unit with multiple capabilities.' 2

Police ‘harassed' pensioner over Gaza protest T-shirt
Officers have been accused of political policing, harassment and intimidation of a 78-year-old protester charged under terrorism legislation for allegedly wearing a T-shirt in support of the banned group Palestine Action. Mick Napier, co-founder of the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, was arrested at a protest in Edinburgh on July 19 and spent a night in the cells before being released on bail on standard conditions. He said that during President Trump's trip to Scotland last month, officers had visited his home seven times, claiming they were there to remind him of his bail conditions. Napier's lawyer, Mark Harrower, has lodged a complaint with Police Scotland, claiming the actions were 'nothing short of harassment'. In it, he wrote that his client was a 'peaceful protester against the killing and starvation of innocent civilians in Gaza' who had been released on bail on July 22. Speaking to the Sunday Mail, he said: 'Since then, he has received seven separate visits from police officers at his home address to check whether he is aware of his bail conditions.' • Record number of arrests at Palestine Action protests across UK Harrower said that after the fourth visit, he had contacted the force to say Napier wanted the visits to stop. Yet they continued. The lawyer wrote: 'The only possible explanation for these repeated visits is to intimidate my client and his wife. 'Not only is this a huge waste of police resources, this behaviour makes Scotland look like it is turning into a police state. It is nothing short of harassment.' Harrower said that similar visits had been made to the homes of other protesters, raising concerns that police were becoming 'politically involved'. He said: 'It was clearly designed to intimidate them into not participating in any protests when Trump was in the country because it would've been embarrassing. 'It's really concerning. It curtails people's right to protest and freedom of speech and shouldn't be happening.' Palestine Action became a proscribed terrorist organisation last month after two Voyager military aircraft were vandalised at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire on June 20. Membership of, or support for, the group became a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Police Scotland said: 'We carry out appropriate checks as required in line with conditions imposed by the courts.'

Beautiful 17-year-old girl's killer learns his fate after gunning her down steps from her home
The man who was accused of murdering a 17-year-old Long Beach girl who was walking home from her job at McDonald's has been sentenced to 358 years to life in prison. Troy Lamar Fox, 34, was convicted in March of first-degree murder for the killing of Briana Soto, a student who was gunned down just steps from her home. The jury also convicted him of four counts of attempted murder in a separate shooting on April 9, 2024, in which he opened fire on a car carrying four minors, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced Thursday. 'Briana Soto had her whole life ahead of her - she was getting ready for her prom, her 18th birthday, and graduation,' Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said. 'Today's sentence ensures the person who stole her future will never be free to harm another innocent person. While this punishment cannot undo the pain he caused, it is a step toward justice for Briana, her loved ones, and our community.' Lamar Fox was already in custody for an unrelated weapons violation when he was identified by Long Beach Police as the suspect who fatally shot Soto as she walked home from work. Soto was just outside her family's home on the evening of March 26 around 8:30pm when she was shot while on the phone with her mother. The teen's family heard the gunshots outside their home - rushing her to the hospital where she eventually succumbed to her injuries three days later. The suspect was caught on security footage moments after the shooting dressed in dark clothing with a mask covering his face. Long Beach Police investigated DNA, video and cell phone evidence before identifying Fox as the suspect who is believed to be involved in two other incidents on April 9 and July 7. On April 9, officers responded to a shots-fired call where a suspect, believed to be Fox, discharged a firearm in the direction of three juveniles and one adult in a vehicle. On July 7, cops arrived on the scene after a report of firearms inside of a vehicle. During the incident, officers located Fox and a juvenile suspect and later learned they were both prohibited possessors. Two firearms were recovered on the suspects and four firearms were recovered from the vehicle. Fox had an outstanding warrant for his arrest issued in November 2023 for violation of his parole terms. Following investigation into Soto's case, on September 11, detectives presented evidence to a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge and obtained an arrest warrant for Fox for the murder of the Long Beach teen. On September 13, cops took custody of Fox from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and booked him into the Long Beach City Jail. Police have not yet disclosed a motive behind the shootings.
