In this video, News Now Yorkshire takes viewers on a journey through Manchester, documenting the presence of police officers, engaging in conversations with them, and exploring the issue of criminal records among law enforcement personnel. The video also highlights the host’s efforts to help homeless individuals, showcasing the compassionate side of the channel.
The video begins with the host walking around Manchester, observing the large number of police officers present in the city due to Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s visit. He chats with various officers, asking if they have criminal records, and shares the findings of a Sky News freedom of information request which revealed that 230 officers across a third of UK constabularies have criminal records. This information sparks a debate on whether or not individuals with criminal records should serve as police officers.
Throughout the video, the host also encounters bomb squads, snipers, and undercover police officers who are securing the area for the Prime Minister’s visit. While exploring the city, he tries to gain access to the area where Boris Johnson is staying but is unsuccessful in obtaining a pass to enter the restricted zone.
In the latter part of the video, the focus shifts to the host’s efforts to help the homeless population in Manchester. He meets up with fellow YouTuber Live Free at a homeless shelter, where they decide to help two homeless individuals by providing them with a place to stay for the night. The host and Live Free discuss the challenges faced by the homeless, including issues with tenancy and addiction.
The video concludes with the host and Live Free booking a room at the Piccadilly Hostel for the two homeless individuals, who are grateful for the assistance. The host reflects on the day’s events, noting that while encounters with police officers can sometimes be contentious, it’s also important to focus on acts of compassion and kindness, such as helping those in need.
