not that straight forward these days, if anyone in the car is bame then the officer is a evil raving nazi racist :shrug:

You are 9x more likely to be stopped and searched if you are black.

You haven't disproved anything, you've essentially made the same comment twice. Without looking at the crime statistics this stat is as useful as me saying 'men more likely to be stopped than women'

I'm not disputing the statistics, I'm telling you without providing crime rates it's pointless using them. Black people commit disproportionate knife crime, therefore black people will be searched for knives at a higher rate. I don't think stop and search is effective on its own, but it's not racist.

An interesting viewpoint - and one that defies all the data.

Do you think racial profiling is racist?

I assume you don't as you have already got to the argument that 'black people' commit x times more crime (knife crime is just an example) therefore should be x times more targeted by the police. In my innocence I thought criminals committed x times more crime so the police should use objective intelligence (not stereotypes and plain prejudice) to target criminals!

No2. If the female was as calm and passive as she appeared in the interview after, when she was initially asked to get out of the car, the incident would probably have passed with hardly any fuss.

Well it proves that any intelligence they were acting on was bollocks as top level athletes dont smoke ...apart from Ian Botham

How many times have you been stopped ? 15 ?

Dont you think after so many stops you would be thinking hold on a minute , this is not right ?

Not 'should', but 'are', big difference. I had an issue with the original post quoting statistics without context.

So black people are stopped due to their race more often than white people then ?

Well you agree then that this is racial profiling then

That was supposed to end after the stephen lawrence enquiry which was a black guy being hacked to death by a gang of white blokes

Why are white blokes in predominantly white areas of london not stopped in the same numbers black blokes are stopped in predominantly black areas ?

BBC News - Bianca Williams stop: Police 'want to discuss sprinter's concerns'

Interesting comments from stephen Lawrence's mother

Who'd be a policeman these days? Must be the most thankless job.

Because they aren't stabbing each other

Why were poor white kids stopped in Glasgow during their knife endemic in the mid 2000s? Because they were the ones stabbing each other. Let me ask you, is that racist?
