BLM Violent Hate Group

[Pat Mustard]

I mean violent interactions, not just being stopped.

I've been stopped and questioned around 5 times just off the top of my head, being questioned over where I'm walking, I've had a police car and a police van swoop in on me because I didn't drive through a traffic light when it turned green quickly enough, questioned over a car robbery while I still had my work uniform on and I was blatantly on my break in work. I've been questioned over a stabbing so on and so forth. I've got a completely clean criminal record by the way.

We're just talking about anecdotal incidents here so I know this proves nothing, but all my friends who got caught by police with drugs or searched extensively were friends who acted like idiots while around the police.
I've been tempted to act like an idiot with the police in times when they've been a bit overly aggressive in questioning me over stuff I've not done but I just keep my cool, and I'm assuming you sons did the same thing?  I've not always been stopped with an "excuse me sir" sometimes it's just been " EY! COME ERE NOW!" Which was the case when I was stopped because some sort of stabbing happened in my area.

When the police stopped me for the car robbery near my work and I was on my break, it was when I used to smoke weed and I had a bag of weed and a joint that was in the process of being rolled on the step behind me while I was being questioned by them. It was either out of luck or because I was polite or whatever they didn't ask me to stand up or ask what was behind me.  

Also I'm not actually saying there is anything anyone can do about any kind of prejudice any police officer has.
Apart from avoid bad areas, and if you live in a bad area just try and avoid being in possession of drugs or whatever else and try and be polite.  

What I would say is that areas with bad crime rates most likely have more police traffic going through and that will account for more interaction. If you go through those areas or live in those areas then you better watch out for the criminals and the police.

If I'm not mistaken, you're in the UK. We're talking very specifically about racial profiling here in the US. You would cringe at how silly you sound if you spent any significant time at all here.

It's almost as if the UK police forces didn't have their own problems with institutionalised racism.
