/// “I was driving,” she says, “and I had my hood up because my hair was wet. So they couldn’t identify that I was a woman, and because the car is registered to a woman, that was why [they stopped me]. But if I had blonde hair and blue eyes … come on.” ///

How would they know that person had blonde hair and blue eyes, if they had their hood over their head?

Oh come on, a person in your position should not be too eager to play the race card.

What if it had been a person of any colour who had actually stolen your car, you would have soon got onto who was responsible for not stopping the car, and questioning the driver.

Bet I know who posted the removed comment.

Spit it out then, sp.

"is there national white police association?"
Yes, there are two. ACPO and the Police Federation.
But I've never heard of the police picking on someone because they are white.


I've been 'picked on by the police because I was white ... surely this is common?

[New Judge]

You'd better withdraw your bet, sp, because you'd be wrong.

God.Gypsy Roses predictions are becoming more tedious and inaccurate again. Swap the crystal ball for the bones but I still wouldn't trust his lottery predictions

It was a post of mine that was removed. It ended up in here in error, was meant for another thread. I ddn't know it had gone until New Judge linked to it.

Spot the black faces in among the principal offices of the Police Federation. //

Oh I give up.I searched diligently but I failed in my investigation.
I suppose in a predominateley Black country like Zimbabwe you would be hard pressed to find a white Borough Commander these days who was Chair of the Zimbabean White Police Officer's Association.
The UK not only allow a Black person to join the British Police but Chief Constables are given targets to try and rope them in.You can't just get the staff nowdays in the UK no matter how they try. Could you tell me why we are failing to openly recruit black police oficers and Mr Mugabe does not give a toss about having Whites in his force.
In the UK it doesn't really matter if you are black or white,as the song goes, after all the UK police are there to serve all members of the community and do the same job as each other member no matter what race,colour or creed.
Of course one could be forgiven for thinking that certain members of the UK police do endeavour to be the chair of the BPOA in order to abuse their authority,play the race card and believe it gives them free licence to such a level of corruption that Sir Robert Mark stamped out years ago.
I am thinking of course Ali Dizaei.
