That old guy who is a writer and journalist may have been involved in the old race riots. The reporter obviously had evidence of this.
She certainly wasn't inferring he was a rioter just because he was black. Listen to the question concerning this issue again. He has taken it the
wrong way.
The guy who got shot (Mark Duggan) was 'carrying' a gun and was known to the police.. Shoot away imo. One less criminal gunman off our streets.
Shooting him because he was black has nothing to do with it.
He claims his grandson gets stopped by the police frequently 'because' he is black. In that area the majority of 'reported crimes' are done by
black people as most people in that area are black.
Police profiling is needed or we'd have a situation where every person regardless of age, sex, sexuality, colour or race gets stopped and questioned.
Lets not forget this is a high crime area, where prevention of crimes plays a part in policing too.
If a new crime wave sprung up in your town and the majority of crimes were committed by kids, any sensible person would target the kids. To be
politically correct you'd have to employ god knows how many extra police and increase taxes. It would feel like a Police State then.
The race card is being used because they feel targeted.
Other people have mentioned the poverty and lack of opportunity those people have.
It's the their own responsibility to make something of their lives and stop blaming other people for their own actions or inactions. They choose not
to go to school, go to college, get qualifications and work experience. They can't be arsed to do voluntary work in their community.
They choose to go into a gang or live off petty crime. Those that are pressured into a gang fail again by not moving out of the area if it's that
bad.
Blame someone else, not our fault.
