Could The Real Reason Be That Not Enough Members From These Minorities Apply To Become Police Officers, Combined With The Fact That Those Who Do Apply May Fail To Reach The Necessary Qualifications?

Who ever told us that this is a multiracial country should check out the facts again. Every person who settles here does so where there are already their own kind ( yes even the whites). The UK is now a quilted pattern of different races all content on their own patch & beware anyone who tries to move to a foreign patch. It is becoming increasingly difficult to walk through a strange neighbourhood without incurring someone's wrath. I'm afraid the experiment has failed & the sooner our politicians admit it the better for us all, to expect every race to volunteer to join the very organisation some of them are fighting against is nothing short of ludicrous.

Well said W-Ron, who is obviously walking around with his eyes open.

Misleading sloppy reports like this latest anti-police article would probably put minority groups off applying to join the police.

Are ethnic minority groups proportionately represented on say Answerbank? if not then why not ?

Have not seen a policeman for years so really wouldn't know
