On Wednesday (today 30th July 2025) a jury at Liverpool Crown Court found Amaaz guilty of the assault of Pc Ward causing actual bodily harm and the assault of emergency worker Pc Cook.

Amaaz was also convicted of the Starbucks assault of a member of the public, Abdulkareem Ismaeil.

Jurors – after 10 hours of deliberating – could not reach a verdict on allegations the two brothers assaulted Pc Marsden causing actual bodily harm.

I hope I'm not speaking out of turn, but I wonder who the members of the jury were.
Perhaps, here we have here another drawback to mass immigration from the third world.

The one found guilty should get 5 years !  It shouldn't have taken this long for them to be charged and tried, which makes me think he will get a soft sentence from a soft judge.  As GB News says "When this first happened, Yvette Cooper seemed more interested in criticising the police and siding with the attackers than standing up for brave officers who get injured in the line of duty."

I am inclined to think that any member of a police patrol should be entitled to use force against a person who has used force against any member of that patrol. However, I do not want that justification to be used when beating me up for being somewhere near a protest or riot. I still think the Manchester attackers were lucky not to have been shot dead by the armed police, they showed considerable restraint, and just as well because you don't really want them loosing off live rounds inside a building.

Maybe they were more likely to have been shot if they had run away from the police instead of engaging them. These questions should be ventilated.

A re-trial next year  ?  Is it a conviction for one and a retrial for the other  ?

They weren't armed sfaik and none of the assaults had involved weapons so I doubt that the police could have legally shot them. Those firearms officers have pretty strict rules of engagement. 

Yes they obviously could have been shot but I think it's unlikely. I wouldn't want to trust my life on rules of engagement though and had there been a drawn weapon I'd have been on the floor just as fast as my crumbly old body could comply.

Why did it take so long ? 
They had Lucy Connolly banged up in five weeks .
Next time they should tazer them first .

If only the police officers had said that these fellas had criticised the government's immigration policies, which is why they decided to arrest them by use of understandable excessive force, then the officers would have been given a medal and the offenders would have gone straight to jail without any chance of parole.
