Daniel Frost, 44, received a sentence of two years and four months for violent disorder and possessing an offensive weapon, a dog lead fashioned into a 'makeshift knuckleduster', after throwing chairs and challenging officers. Reece Robinson, 21, was imprisoned for two years for violent disorder, having admitted to throwing two stones or small bricks towards the police cordon during the protest that followed the murder of Henry Nowak. Judge William Mousley KC stated that the violence was a 'hate crime borne out of a hatred for police and in some part racist views', highlighting the profound fear and distress it caused to local residents. Separately, Leon O’Leary, 41, and Connor Bishop, 24, were also jailed for their roles in the disorder, with O'Leary launching a smoke grenade and resisting arrest, and Bishop throwing a traffic cone at officers.
