He really said that
 

Not another high ranking white facist police office, indeed not.

Good for him for suggesting it but will it come to be?

It'll be interesting to see how much flak he gets from this, compared to if it was the director for the white police association.

Why stop at searching ethnic minorities?
Arrest them!

Arrest them! from Letum!! Feck!!!

Your be voting Labour at this rate. ;)

Apparently he has said that his suggestion is what the community at large wants, in that if such a move stops kids from carrying breadknives, and similar, for protection, then it might prevent a stabbing. Which might be true, but what they ought to be doing is trying to create a state of affairs where people don't actually feel the need to carry such things in the first place.

:D Chock

Something which has not really been looked at. Not only that guns as well, this also covers other subjects as well. :yep:

Thats exactly what i was thinking. :p

"More people from ethnic minorities must be stopped and searched if Britain is to win the fight against violent crime"

Im not racist by any means but he said what we were all thinking. Sadly no one has the balls in this country to stand up and say it

Well, technical it is racist because it discriminates based on race.

However, weather or not it is racist or not isn't a issue.
The term "racism" is full of negative connotations that do not always apply to it.
Racism is not always a bad thing in it's self.
The issue is weather it is moral or not. (and perhaps weather it is effective or not).

It's one of those moral issues that asks us to chose between a small evil and a
greater evil.
Or to put it another way, should we give up the liberty of being able to walk
around with out the police searching us because of the colour of our skin in order to
gain the security of not being stabbed/mugged/etc.?

Giving up a liberty to purchase a safety eh?.....:hmm:
I wonder if anyone has a nice quote about that....

That said; I haven't made up my mind on this issue yet.

Some ethnicities and/or nationalities and/or social groups are over-represented in certain fields of crime statistics. That is not racism, that is not a big issue of public uproar, that is simply a statistical fact that is being proven black on white every year in the yearly police statistics. And since we have that kind of report in Germany every year, I am sure that the British police has something like that, too. what use has that report if no consequences are allowed to be drawn from it? PC should not have anything to do with it. If it is olike that in reality - of course, nowadays that is something different in Europe's brave new world.

I am glad a black police officer has said this should be done. I would go far as to say step it up 100% on all kids and give the police hand held metal detectors, first step if there caught with a knife is to sit down and find out why they have a knife on them. I know there is a good 80% probability they will say it's for my protection but never the less we must get to the bottom of this and find the proper solution to this problem.

Sadly the ethnic minority he speaks of are white and British

:dead:

Hahaha! :rotfl:

Sad but true, feels the same here in SoCal..........
