What's The Problem Officer ?
Was this gentleman just naive as to what occurs away from the
leafy suburbs, protected by relative wealth and privilege ?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The Policeman in this was clearly not behaving in a manner to which we would expect him to. I suspect that this is not an isolated event. The police seem to be getting a lot of bad publicity of late, for which they only have themselves to blame. Dixon of Dock Green has been dead for many years now, and we had better get used to it.
Perhaps if they made more of an effort to go about their duties in a more professional manner, they would get back to the respect that they deserve.

This is a naive question from a little old lady - how did they know he was black before they stopped him? Can they see inside a closed car. I know Big Brother is Watching You, because I have just had a letter from the County Council people because I have applied for a 'one person living here' discount. My sister, who lives in Spain uses my address for parcels of goodies she buys mail order, which I then rewrap and send to her. They have written to me accusing me of having her living with me. Now how did they know about her? She is not on the voting list thingy, - they would only know by monitoring my post. I have written explaining the situation, but the fact remains, 'they' know everything I am doing.
You can see the colour of a drivers skin from outside the car.
Unfortunately it is largely true that an expensive car being driven by a coloured man has a higher that normal chance of being stolen or being used in the drug trade. The officer should have been polite but apparently he was not, that is a fault.
However the man who wrote this is a journalist working for the Daily Mail !
the chance that the exact words used may have been diffrent has to be considered. He was out to write a story, if the officer had been polite he would not have had one. Remember that at first did not stop, assuming that the blue lights were nothing to do with him? Not possible he kept driving just to increase the chance that the police officer would be agressive and give him a story is it ?
