You’re 6x more likely to be stopped & searched if you’re black. Of those stopped & searched for drugs, a higher proportion of white people had drugs on them than black. That’s disproportionate. Better still, don’t search any adult for small amounts of drugs for personal use.

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?!!!

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?

So let me get this right Paddick. Where the population of a London Borough is 78% Black or Asian, you want me to discriminate, and try and stop and search (with sufficient grounds) White people to balance the books. What a complete Doughnut you were, and still are.

You clearly have no clue about me or about what I am saying.
