British Sprinter And Her Black Boyfriend Stopped By The Police .....

[Feedback]

So you think these people are playing the race card ?

I have no idea, i wasn't there, and there isn't enough evidence to form an opinion either way.

High crime area, heavily tinted windows, couple drove after they were asked to stop, Police smell drugs and incident filmed on Police body camera. Was it racist? I have no idea but there were mitigating circumstances. If the occupants were white there would have been no issue. The problem we have is that, if any BAME is accused of anything, there is a danger the race card will be played. I hope the Police continue to do their job and certainly don't cease stopping people just because they are from a racial minority. Everyone should be treated equally.

A danger of the race card being played hey there is one religious group notorious for that kind of tactic.

Not the Methodists is it?

[trampie09]

You most certainly insinuated it though

Playing the race card is a term used almost exclusively by white people suggesting black people claiming false arrest , job discrimination etc are using the colour of their skin to gain advantage , make excuses , play the system etc , as if they are taught or coached or learn to do so , it's extremely patronising and insulting

You could easily be talking about a mainly white group of people, some of which are in this country and have caused mayhem for one of the political parties in this country.

And why not ?

You are a black woman and you are stopped by the police and the police handcuff your boyfriend who is black , they handcuff you saying they are searching for weapons and your baby is left in the car , they say they can smell drugs but dont test the driver , your boyfriend , for drugs ?

How would you feel ?

I would feel angry and pissed off

Why havnt they charged the couple with any offences ?

They apparently failed to stop , drove on the wrong side of the road and police smelled drugs in their car ?

Both of them are athletes, I would be furious

No 1. What has them both being athletes got to do with anything.
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.
Ive been stopped a few times over the yrs in Cardiff, for certain reasons. Yes, it can be annoying, but if you don't have an attitude, and answer the questions your asked, it’s usually over quickly and your on your way.

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

[Welshcake.]

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

[Llandaff Blue]

this is just a poor use of statistics.

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.

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

[Llandaff Blue]

it's outrageous this couple were racially profiled through tinted windows. officers should be sacked

[William Treseder]

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!!!

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 ?

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

In cardiff you are 7 times more likely to be stopped if you are black

But keep burying your head in the sand

After all , you are white and so are the rest of the dont play the race card types

Dont quote facts on here mate , you are playing the race card

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Let's just say either you people are burying your heads in the sand as white people ....or maybe the accusations by some that you are being a bit ignorant holds water

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

in a prodementlay black area yes, before all this , ,people were asking why black youths were knifing each other in London

In cardiff which is not predominantly black in any area , you are 7 times more likely to be stopped by the police

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

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'

Yes , I think those figures clearly show hes just nit picking

[Llandaff Blue]

Yes , I think those figures clearly show hes just nit picking

I'm waiting for you to quote my other comment which said I do not dispute the figures

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?

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