It's not even just the racist undertone of the quote that's odd, but the intelligence of those posting/liking etc as the authorities have made a clear choice on grooming gangs or online racism. Do they genuinely believe its one or the other and can't be both? I suspect many are simply stirring the pot, but an equal amount taken in by it.
Same old, same old?
It does appear to have a dual interpretation.
Be interesting to see the breakdown divided into sex category?
Vocational degree's replacing other HE programmes?

Problem with private education seems to be they don’t split down non white ethnicities and obviously have a lot of overseas students so it’s hard to tell much.

You do realise that by quoting me he's going to be able to read what I said, and he's had me on ignore for weeks. Excellent.
He likes to fly the flag for every single group of people on the planet that aren't white and British.....and Church of England probably. I don't know why. He thinks it's his calling to despise what he was born as. He even pretended to be black a couple of weeks back to try and justify the injustices towards BAME people. That's insulting to them .
If you are on ignore wear it like a badge of honour.

You sure about that chap?
When I've had people on ignore and they get quoted I didn't see their quote so it looked like the person was replying to nobody.

I *think* it's different on tapatalk.
But yeah, don't ignore most of the time, but now and again it's wise to temporarily, to cut the endless circles
It makes the threads look mental on a laptop at times!Missed this before.
It could happen anywhere over myriad reasons.
In febrile times you can get strong reaction / action

Trump answer to the question of black people dying at the hands Of law enforcement was
what a terrible question and white people die too. Ummm
what a terrible question and white people die too. Ummm
The thing that hit me watching those vids was that not only were their actions killing him ,but there seemed be a relish in that they were being filmed.
It looked and felt to me that that officer on a couple of occasions seems to shift / accuntiuate the effect of his knee pressing down, like trying to increase the effect of it.
Just me opinion/observation.

He can't do it. Don't call him gay . He'll be offended because today he's a black, gay, staunch Catholic separatist, possibly disabled.

Fairly heated debate on prime time itv right now. Stephen Lawrence’s brother on the panel. Interesting viewing. Especially for itv.

Its really about police procedures surely, not race. There is nothing in this video that says anything other than the procedure of apprehending an assailant , in this case, involves pressure on the neck.
The audience with mobile phones at the ready clearly are incredibly grateful he is a black man. There is nothing that says they wouldn't do this if he was white and resisting arrest.
....it just wouldn't be all over you tube.

I am genuinely worried about ADM, I do think he needs a break.

I agree to an extent.As I’ve said before the stories I hear about police racism sound like how I was treated as a youth and probably point to a general issue with how the police treat groups they don’t like/trust. While the targeting may or may not be racist (I don’t know enough to say) the action alone isn’t.
That said. How can you be a copper and not know how fucking stupid it is to kneel on the neck of a black guy right now?

What a tool. See him holding his head, fair enough, but shit technique if he was on his neck. A hot potatoe so rightly suspended pending investigation. There was two of them for gods sake, if the bloke is playing up or resisting they should be well capable of lawfully restraining him.
Shame we can't see the body cam footage and what led to this. Copper definate prick but have to agree with ADM - no evidence from the clip that he was treated that way because he's black.

Really ? Playing to your mates again.
The bloke was carrying a knife.
Perhaps he was carrying it for fun. Perhaps he was ready to stick it into a bloke in the high street and take his phone. Perhaps he was going to rape a woman at knifepoint.
But because he was black these issues don't matter to you .
What a sad bastard you are.

Yes, wow.
He was carrying a knife. I wonder why.
Nothing good I suppose. Good people don't carry knives.
Wow.

I've no sympathy for anyone carrying a knife but I still don't understand why you'd kneel on someone's neck.
I've never heard of anyone using their neck to put a knife in someone.
As you said yourself, that procedure is wrong.
