London Police accused of racial profiling

Police in London can legally stop and search anyone they consider suspicious. This tactic is said to prevent terrorist attacks, but many feel that it gives cops a window to racially profile individuals. The majority of suspicious individuals have predominately been black males and Ivor Bennett takes a closer look at whats going on in London.Like us and/or follow us:

@ezekielthemack "Typical Englishmen" are white.

England used to be Angleland. Which came from the 'Angles' a tribe of white people from around northern Germany. Along with the Saxons, they colonised what was known as Britannia by the Romans, and eventually the land became Angleland. Which in turn became England.

These people, the Angles and the Saxons were known as the 'Anglo-Saxons'.

So, yes, "typical Englishmen" are of Anglo-Saxon descent. That is: white people. Not black.

@gorillafix Colonialism of Africa? Blaming all your problems on white people for enslaving your ancestors?

Ireland was under English rule for 800 years. The language/culture outlawed, resources stolen. Millions of Irish people were sold into slavery alongside blacks.

But you know what happened? Irish people won their freedom and within less than 80 years, turned their nation into a 1st world country.

..What have blacks done since they won theirs? Nothing.

[blademanx]

[mystrdat]

@blademanx Oh, well maybe you need to learn to read properly first.

[blademanx]

@mystrdat your bad attempt to link black people with every serious crime....but you dont realise comments like that increase racism and stereotyping.

[mystrdat]

@blademanx What were you even replying to?

[blademanx]

@mystrdat Im sure blacks have been very guilty of canibalism and peadophilia...and many more heinous crimes. But ye I guess you're right Black people are bad for business...GTFO

[blademanx]

Ive been stopped and search in public and its humiliating. But what can you do you live in a police state.

When do you see a Black or Asian policemaen NEVER, and I have had first hand experience of police stereotyping you on your place of birth or your accent. Surely it is a nobrainer to promote ethnicity in policeman as it gives clean role models within the community, and also a better understanding of cultures and severity of the crime
