Should they apologise?

Watching TV news last night, I could not believe it when I saw a senior cop of the West Midlands police, squirming and apologising to the 'community' for daring to install CCTV cameras in mainly Muslim areas, even though these cameras have never been switched on and still remain covered.
I wonder if they will apologise to us for all the CCTV cameras that are in full operation in mainly white areas?

The local community were told that they were being installed for crime prevention reasons.
then it transpired that this was a lower than average crime area and that it had been funded out of the anti-terrorism budget.
In other words someone had decided that because they were muslims they were terrorist suspects.
That's the sort of racial profiling that we'd expect of you AOG - not of a senior police officer

When has terrorism not been a crime?
In the present terrorist alert, if a bomb goes off somewhere is Birmingham for instance, any police officer senior or otherwise would be lacking in his duty, not to suspect members of the Muslim community.

Abuse, what a surprise.
So you would presumably go around strip searching little old ladies in case they are terrorist then?
What I wrote is true and if you want to catch them you look in the communities they hide in, its not rocket science nor is racist or any other slur the likes of you cares to put on it.

Then please tell us jake, which ones aren't?
Are you asking which Muslims aren't terrorists or which terrorists aren't Muslim?
If it's the former, then the answer is 'practically all of them'.
If it's the latter, then the answer is 'the IRA' (although not exclusively!)

I have seen many people on here complain that speed cameras should be banned because they were told that they were introduced for safety reasons and they are just for making money from the motorist.
Now we have cameras introduced for one purpose but used for another, and the same people who objected about the misuse of cameras, are now supporting their misuse.

Couldn't agree more, but since they don't tend to condemn each other, would you like the job of sorting them one from the other?

I agree again, only to add that the vast majority of terrorists are Muslim.
