Notting Hill Carnival Must End After Weekend Of Violence Police Federation Says

“But today we are having to again face the fallout from policing the event. The tragedy is that someone has been killed. “But also 34 of my colleagues have been hurt after coming under attack. One female officer was grabbed in a headlock and sexually assaulted. “This is completely unacceptable. Every year we argue that this event should not take place but we are not listened to. “There were 11,000 officers on duty across the weekend. For lots of them this was their first experience of policing the carnival and they have been left extremely shocked by what they have seen and been subjected to. “We are simply not listened to and those who support the carnival do not seem to care what happens to police officers. The violence my colleagues face when policing this event seems to be the price we have to pay and that is a completely unacceptable situation.”

‘Drug dealers want to fight and mark their territory’

Roy Ramm, former commander of special operations with the Met, said the community event provided an opportunity for rival drug dealers to incite violence. He told LBC Radio: “The trouble is, these young men, and it is young men, they want to fight, mark out their territory and sell their drugs. They are determined to wreck it in the evenings. I think it is for the community to reject this.” Meanwhile detectives were continuing to investigate the murder of Mr Nembhard, whose girlfriend was pregnant when he was killed. In a statement, the rapper’s agent, Chris Patrick, said: “As you can imagine, we are all in shock. “He went to carnival with his younger sister and friends to have a good time. This is the worst possible ending for a talented kid.” Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, said he was “sickened” by the stabbing. “Violence has no place on our streets and we are doing everything in our power to root it out,” he added. Police said 209 arrests had been made at the carnival by early Tuesday, including 46 for assault, 36 for possession of drugs, 33 for possession of an offensive weapon, 27 public order offences and eight sexual assaults. There were 35 arrests the force labelled “other”, 10 for possession of psychoactive substances, seven for drink/drug driving, five for criminal damage and one each for theft and robbery.
