"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JR -
Won't help anything. Look at what's going on in the states, you have incredibly diverse police forces with black police chiefs and this was all still happening under them.
Look at george floyd incident 50% of the officers involved along with the police chief would be classified as BAME in UK. It's not going to get any more diverse than that. Maybe if there was a woman present then it wouldn't have happened? Like come on, apply a little common sense.
It doesn't matter how diverse the police force, policy and training are what are important and what failed in that incident and what fails elsewhere.
As a foreigner I will say you have one of the kindest and gentlest police forces in the world in the UK here anyway. I really don't think you have anything to fix.Comment

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostNo I know kinder and gentler police forces whose members don't treat victims and witnesses as criminals.
The movements happening in usa are because their police force has been overly militarized. They have millions of ex armed forces coming back from their endless wars in the middle east and a large percentage of those go into policing. On top of that they have police departments buying surplus military equipment and regularly using it to police their own citizens. Combine that with a failed war on drugs and it's absolutely nothing like what happens in the UK.
Its crazy when british people try and attach themselves to the movement thats happening in the USA. Its just not comparable.Comment

He started writing it out and he asked me the required questions, the final one being "How do you describe your ethnicity". He expected me to answer "white" but instead I replied "Black". I could almost hear him squirm as he ticked the box.

Is it too much to expect?

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostPolice officers claim they can't see who is driving cars. Oddly in my area they catch people crossing them at junctions or by waiting in side roads then coming out....
They could probably use a piece of Paper with a greyscale and a phone to do a rough test.
If its legal the Police need their eyes tested and words of advice from a senior officer.
If they have decent procedures and management it is surprising how good even poorly paid staff can be.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
