Looks like the UK is turning into America

Well clearly the father and son thought they were being attacked...how scary and traumatic that must have been for them. No one is questioning that.
I don’t know what world you have been living in...but surely you have heard of officers in PLAIN clothing...just like unmarked police cars ...the element of surprise and undercover
....and no the UK is not turning into America but that’s what some would like to make out...

I'm not stupid i know plain clothed and undercover cops etc are around , but whole thing sounds weird to me how they would jump father and son who are cycling minding their own business . They scared them without letting themselves be known they're cops.

Yes i will say it's turning like America , the boy is 13 years old ! like seriously what the hell . i'm just glad we're not gun crazy here in the UK so yeah that's the difference between the UK and America .

...it’s really upsetting to think about the terror this young boy and his father went through and it’s not something that will just be ‘moved on from..’...it will be very far reaching because of the trauma of the experience...and atm, all that’s being said is that they matched the description of ‘two black males’...it’s racial profiling at its worst......

The boy is 13 years old....are you not aware of how many young boys are getting involved in knife crime. Look at the age that some of these young boys are getting stabbed and shot...usually gang and drug related. Its frightening.

Ah, so the black thirteen year old deserves to be attacked and threatened because he might be out gangbanging while on a bike ride with his dad...
