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

[Feedback]

She was a mother of a young baby , scared out of her wits being shouted at by people trying to handcuff her

the police were only trying to handcuff her after she refused to get out.

I know plenty of women would have done the same

assuming this is a cross section and not all are BAME, can we assume that this therefore is not a race issue?

You would have done but you are not the mother of a 3 month old baby , maternal instinct to protect a child in the face of threat is very strong

I'm a father of 3, and my response may or may not have been different. However i'd have alluded to the fact I'd get out of the car as long as the safety of the child I was carrying was paramount.

Its been said before, how you approach these situations can determine the outcome. I've been stopped previously, and within five minutes I was on my own. Why - because I understand that arguing with the police is futile and ends in only one outcome. Is it a pain in the arse - yes. Did I act sensibly so I could be on my way - yes.
