A raging thug who threatened to kill his brother. He then rang 999 and said he wanted to go to prison for 'killing a police officer' or a 'random citizen'.
Louis Williams, 32, became enraged as he downed whiskey and cider, and accused his mother of stealing money from him. The 'volatile' Williams started punching holes in the wall and in a door, as his anger increased in the one bedroom flat he shared with his brother and mum.
The pair tried to placate Williams by giving him money, but he only became more incensed. At one point his brother noticed a meat cleaver, which he'd never seen before.

"I will sick it in your head, don't even look at me or I will stick it in your head," Williams, from Gorton, told his sibling. His brother 'froze' in his seat after the chilling threat was issued, during the incident on November 1 last year.
Then Williams 'bizarrely' began calling 999, making repeated calls and making threats to operators, prosecutor Paul Treble told Manchester Crown Court.
He made threats to kill police officers, and at one stage said 'he wanted to go to prison for killing a police officer or even killing a random citizen', the barrister said.
Williams began punching himself in the face as he experienced an apparent mental breakdown. His brother called the police but couldn't get through at first. He and his mother were able to flee the property.
Williams' mother later said she loves her son, but said she is 'frightened' of him when he's not sober.
"He is the nicest lad when he isn't under the influence of these things," she said.
Defending, Anna Bond said Williams suffered 'trauma' as a child,
