Has any one on here been arrested or had any interactions with the police?

I have had lots. My most recent experience was one of great understanding and compassion from the officers involved but I can also say I’ve had row with police calling me names as I gave them a piece of my mind.

And then there have been those that are pumped up and like having a power trip but they are soon put in their place when i know I’ve done nothing wrong.

Hmm, but the point is, if you tried to put them in their place and you were black they would probably kick your legs out from under you, cuff you, and stick you in the back of the van.

See, you can’t just make those assumptions that if you are black the police will be racist, this country is no wear near as bad as America when it comes to racism in the police force.

I got pulled over as I left the school fete...my mum and child in the car. Police were waiting outside the school gates and clocking people driving off before putting on seat belts...then radioed ahead and I got pulled over further down the road. I was told to get out the car and had my rights thrown at me like a criminal. I got back in the car and burst into tears...I know I was in the wrong but talk about laying it on thick...

Police are just men and women in uniform.

There was a serving police officer in this country who recently strangled his lover to death.

You have to treat people as individuals and not tar every one with the same brush.

Nobody's tarring people with brushes. She's being judged on her poor performance in that video.
