Police racism or not?
 

This guardian article got me thinking...as I really dont see the police said anything wrong...Except 1 use of the N word.... Am i missing something?

What a knob

Okay I've heard it all now, what the hell!!? What a disgusting person.

Glad he's been arrested.

..I couldn't play the video..just read the article...the police officer referred to the colour of his skin..which is irrelevant and something police officers cannot do...they have policies..regulations which are different to some...and if he did refer to the guys skin clour..then he was really very silly...I think it's a fair cop..no pun intended

To answer the thread title, yes, he is being racist, very much so.

are u 4real?

Completely unacceptable behavior from the old bill! I'll bet there's more of this kind of thing than we know about too!

I know :rolleyes: don't know whether she's being a troll or not. Clearly this video is nothing BUT wrong!

Are you serious, you don't see anything wrong with a police officer telling someone that he strangled him because he's a "*****", telling him he'll be "dead in five years", making sexual comments about his mother and saying that "the problem with you is you will always be a n*gger"?

Are we reading the same article?

A troll? marc are you serious?
On the tape it mentions the N word which yes is completely unacceptable, but i dont hear any reference to his mum or how long he will live... The recording was started after those alleged comments.
They are in the middle of a riot here,and he was arrested due to an outstanding warrant.

He was definitely being racist.

The CPS are blatantly made up of a bunch of retarded *****wits.

Wow...



I am going to just avoid this thread. The OP can't be serious.


I will bet my penis this gets swept under the carpet anyway. They dont even act when Police kill someone unfairly, like racism will be anything.

there are criminals dressed as police!

The officers are from Newham as well.. NEWHAM FFS such a racially diverse borough :bored:

The thread title said racist or not, I said he's racist, end of. You said you didn't find it that bad, so you must live on a different planet to us.

There are as in anywhere, good and bad in the Police force, this Officer was completely out of order and wrong, Whether he meant it to be or not, the comment does come across as racist.

Marc don't try to read into my comments things that are not there....
It is an audio recording, apart from the N word what do you consider racist?

The whole thing Kizzy, they are treating him like vermon, and the use of 'skin color' and '******' as derogatory terms is racist. You stand alone in this argument Kizzy, everybody else has posted at how terrible this police officer has been.

the fact the the police officer says that being black is a problem? and he keeps going on and on about his skin colour?

I have never been afraid to stand alone with my view marc, I don't feel they do treat him like 'vermin' thats an exaggeration.
Once again the N word is racist...
We have no idea what happened prior to the phone recording, in relation to the arrest so can't comment.

Then why start the thread and post it with your feelings on the matter.

OK what about strangling someone because they're a '****'? Vermin are treated better.

I wanted opinions...Im not upset or annoyed that you or anyone else does not share my view...I respect you for it.
I can see the bigger picture here, one officer in the middle of a riot made a racist comment.... Thats it.

But he physically and verbally harassed him!!!! It's all there he didn't just say the N word!!!
