Mike Todd

As so many others have already said, Mike Todd's passing is a tragedy. I never knew him, only OF him.

He seemed like a decent bloke, a copper's cop who despite his rank didn't forget what the job was about. There are many Chiefs (and DCCs, ACCs, Chief Supt's and more) who have forgotten how to make an arrest. Mike Todd didn't.

Whatever the events that transpired, I hope the media lay off, give his family and friends the chance to mourn without dredging up rubbish and not second-guess the Coroner.

It's enough that we're a good cop down, without rubbishing his memory in the name of "news".

Thanks Boss. Rest in peace.
