Macho your second paragraph sums it up for meWhen are people going to remember WE ARE NOT AMERICANwe live in a generally very good place with opportunity for all. Generally a very tolerant and welcoming countryThe police in this country are not like they are in the USA Obviously there are bad ones but that’s not a reason to down cry them all as racist fascists Shall we oust the Labour Party and everyone in it because of a few racist anti Semitic bigotsYou could go on and onWhat people need to remember is that a lot of what is shown on TV and social media could be edited to suit the purpose of the person reporting or posting People seem very quick to jump to conclusions without knowing the full facts

I’m talking about the MP who was stopped on Sunday. The police stopped her and her partner because they incorrectly entered the reg number and they thought the car was registered in North Yorkshire.Two points spring to mind immediately. What is wrong with a car registered in one part of the country being seen elsewhere, and why did they decide to search this registration number in the first place.?Yes that’s only anecdotal rather than a statistical analysis, but it’s also very wrong in my book.
We said same last night , there has to be another reason for car getting pulled / checked in first place, because I'm fairly confident it's not illegal to visit a different part of country. If it was dodgy driving or a light out they would have said so doesn't leave much to imagination as to why they got pulled.
Hound it wouldn’t be anything like that. Remember every police man in the uk is a racist facist bigot with nothing better to do than hound totally innocent people

That’s it then point proven. I apologise All cops are bad
AL.I utterly give up.Read your post again and engage brain.YOU were pulled up because you were committing an offence. The whole point about this discussion is that black people are overwhelmingly more likely than whites to be pulled up when they HAVEN'T committed an offence.
Apologies AL, I missed the word "pushing" while skim reading. Fair to say that you were displaying unusual behaviour which perhaps warranted police attention? Again, the point being that blacks are more frequently pulled over when there is no genuine evidence of suspicious behaviour.
