Blond, white, public schoolboy, teenager, who went every weekend to Brixton to buy cannabis, told me he’d never been stopped & searched by the police. I wonder why?!!!

Because people aren’t scared he’s going to stab them

I think you’re making a racist statement about black people and knife crime or am I wrong?
-
Blimey, how many packs of race cards do you own? FredM’s statement wasn’t racist....look at the knife crime featured on a daily basis...the victims and perpetrators. It all boils down to local knowledge of those who are most likely to carry.
-
Local knowledge in some areas will point to the majority of knife carriers being white. Being black isn’t grounds for stop and search. This man standing in front of you may be young, he may be black but without some other evidence, you cannot legally stop & search him.

In SOME areas. That’s where local knowledge of the ground and the little sweethearts that inhabit it is essential. Make their lives difficult before politicians complete their aim of making Policing nigh on impossible, esp the way the law abiding public want it done.

Did I mention I was a police officer, for over 30 years, including 10 years operational on the street?
-
Only ten years? Mmmm.......I beat that by 15. Try again.

I live in Elephant and Castle and I'm not a socialist and you really should read the whole thread reference working class while people being unfairly targeted.
