Army veterans accuse police of treating them worse than ‘terrorists’ as IRA shooting and bombing of 100 soldiers not probed
Soldiers are furious that the Police Service of Northern Ireland has failed to investigate crimes against them
MORE than 100 Army veterans have accused cops of treating them worse than terrorists.
Soldiers are furious that the Police Service of Northern Ireland has failed to investigate crimes against them while pursuing their colleagues over the shooting of IRA gunman Joe McCann.
The Veterans Lobbying Group, which represents soldiers who served in Ulster, has made a complaint to the Police Ombudsman in the Province.
The group’s Mike Harmson, 51, who spent eight years in the Army, said: “The law is treating terrorists better than us.
We are being denied justice for the crimes committed against us while the PSNI bend over backwards for terrorists. Victims of crime should be treated equally.
“We had to deal with shootings, bombs, riots and hatred directed against us daily.”
