Westerly 0 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I was quite dismayed when I read that, he did his service and people proud and god knows what he must have had to endure, may he RIP. He did his family proud I'll warrant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticJock 539 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 What s shame for his kids/ ex wife. RIP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 His family must be distraught. He made the papers for a violent disturbance not too long ago iirc, you can only assume things were unravelling for him. Not sure how much support he was getting from the police or who ever but his life must have been very difficult. I can't even imagine the state such a violent attack plus losing his sight must have left him in. RIP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marvin 193 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Although it was a preventable incident that caused his terrible injuries, I feel he was paraded around to hide the failings of those in authority to recognise the greater seated problem of a man needing professional mental health intervention was ignored and brushed under the carpet. I dare say Pc Rathband had access to a great mental health team and only he knows what was the final straw that made him take his own life, Sad times for the wife and kids, the trauma and possible guilt now placed upon them by such a selfish action is immeasurable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
