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

    Is that figure for the whole of the UK, or just London?

    Careful. The heavy crew will be all over this thread soon. You cant have opinions like this without being a racist. Thought you’d have known that by now!!!

    Sorry I was also wrong, it's 40x in England and Wales...perhaps you can take up the poorness of the reporting with the MSM reporting it, thanks.

    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!

    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 ?

    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?
