    The hypocrisy by left wing politicans, commentators and lefties in general - coupled by the media on this whole BLM movement is truly shocking.

    The way Floyd died was disgusting, the copper needs to be severely punished but using Floyd as a poster boy for the BLM movement is disgusting. The man was a scum bag. There are plenty of black people who have died who deserve far more recognition than him.

    The ironic part, the vile ANTIFA that have infiltrated the BLM movement have been responsible for a lot of black deaths since Floyd was killed. I also saw a little black girl called Secoriea Turner aged 8 was killed this past weekend and her car shot at during BLM protests because he parents tried to drive through the crowd to get to safety.

    Silence by the media because it doesnt fit the narrative and help the agenda. So glad that folk are starting to wake up and see what BLM is all about though. Companies distancing themselves but why now - just look at their website and see what they are.

    The BLM message is fine. They matter. But the movement and the people are despicable.

    Couldn't agree more. The Media narrative is worrying and dangerous, in my opinion. And I think the Police in this country now have a completely impossible job to do.

    Can someone explain why The Met have apologised to the British runner who was in a car that was stop and searched? The referred it to their internal standards watchdog who found nothing wrong, not once but twice, and have now referred it to the IPCC, so why apologise before the investigation. So far the officers have been shown not to have done anything wrong.

    Reading the transcript from a senior officer it seems the driver was driving like a 2- hat , body cam footage showed everything was fine during the stop and the conversations afterwards . Just what are the Police frightened of ? .

    They’re swept up in the madness of it all. As I say, they have an impossible job, because it seems so well entrenched that any stop and search of a black person, must be racially motivated. It’s an easy card to play and the upper echelons of the police are cowing to it and not backing their officers at all. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Police started downing tools. Why would you do the job in these circumstances?

    I think the athletes are disputing the driving like a tw@t bit. The rules for stop and search are that you have to have reasonable suspicion that you'll find something (unless it's a section 60 search which only applies in certain areas at specific times.) They were stopped and searched under section 1 which means the police need that reasonable suspicion. Here's the reason the police gave for the stop and search:

    In this case, the force said patrols were taking place in response to an increase in violence involving weapons in the area, and in addition the vehicle was being driven suspiciously.

    So a young couple with a baby in the back of their car have been stopped because of an increase in violence in the area because they were driving suspiciously. So if the athletes are correct that they weren't driving erratically then what was the reason for stopping a young couple? That's the crux of this. Someone is not telling the truth. If it can be proved that they were driving safely then what is the reason for the stop? The athletes perceive it to be racial profiling which is unlawful.

    You posted this picture on your FB wall the other week with innocent intentions, I'm sure:

    ignorant.png

    You've had discussions on this thread about how all the kids of your era in Bradford had it tough growing up poor. Your white privilege means that you're not 9 times more likely to be stopped and searched than a black person. Do these stop and searches result in more arrests? Not according to Home Office reports:

    2016 Home Office report "no discernible crime-reducing effects"

    Backed up by the government's 2018 Serious Violence Strategy.

    But why apologise now when so far two reviews have found nothing wrong with the stop and search and it has been referred externally for a third review. Surely the current position should be waiting for that result. They will have the footage from body cams and dashcams.

    The clever use of the words racial profiling as opposed to racism is interesting. Claiming to have been pulled over because of their skin colour but not denying that the police were actually right to pull them over for what is claimed to be a traffic violation. But, without camera footage of the whole event from both vested parties being shown its hard to ascertain what really happened. All we see is a hysterical woman and abusive man being told to get out of a car by police officers.

    Now, forgive my ignorance here, but, in the light of todays political climate and with the police being derided at any given opportunity, the last thing I'd expect the met police to be doing is heavy handedly pulling over black motorists. Something doesn't add up here. The police have been exonerated but Dick apologises and hangs her own police force out to dry to a point now where they are openly mocked in the street.

    Let's see the whole footage of this apparently innocent sweet people only pulled over cos of the colour of their skin innit.

    So this is where we are currently at with the black lives matter campaign.
    All seems to be going down a very dangerous but all too predictable road.
    So it's now the term and the 'racist implications' of the phrase 'fat water buffalo'.
    I'm guessing this whole saga now bolus down to people's interpretation of wording and the context in which it is made.
    The more tenuous the links become the harder it will get to achieve any real success in the battle against perceived racism.
    Next time the alleged 'racist' will have to go down the polar bear route. But not Brown bear, cos that's racist. Apparently.

    Their car had tinted windows though so how could the bobbies know colour of their skin even though it's irrelevant anyway...

    The statistics show the likelyhood of being pulled over in London by the police is great determined by your skin colour. To put that down to institutionalised racism doesn't tell anywhere near the whole story, but unfortunately that is out of the remit of today's agenda driven protests. There clearly will be a percentage of officers that deal with incidents biased on skin colour, I would wager this figure is an irrelevance compared to the other combed reasons as to why the police chose to pull over a vehicle. The police are being hung out to dry, yet the authorities have the damn nerve to be running recruiting campaigns tell prospective clients that its a great job.

    Your last 2 posts have nailed the madness that we now have Roger. The faux outrage, rush to be offended madness will cloud the genuine racial issues that need to be solved, and will only serve to divide people more and more.

    By not STANDING up and nailing it from the start, does it not sicken you to see all those young lads taking the knee before a match not daring to stand up...?
