How Police Racism Actually Works (UK) | How Crime Works | Insider
Sayce Holmes-Lewis was assaulted by the Metropolitan Police at age 14, and since then he has been stop-and-searched over 30 times.
Holmes-Lewis speaks to Insider about his experiences and the racism within UK policing. He now runs training sessions for police officers to change the way they interact with the public, and he is the founder and CEO of Mentivity, a mentoring organisation for young people.

We reached out to the Met for a statement, and a spokesperson wrote in an email: "The Met is committed to becoming an actively anti-racist organisation that can be trusted by everyone in London. Since the terrible murder of George Floyd in the United States and the wave of Black Lives Matter protests two years ago, we've been focussing on a number of key areas.
These include ensuring racist behaviour has no place in the Metropolitan Police Service and increasing diversity in the organisation through recruitment and career progression. We're working hard to increase our officers' understanding of different cultures and the history of policing different communities, particularly black communities. We recognize the Met is not yet free of discrimination, racism or bias, but we are changing to build a Met which is."

How Police Racism Actually Works (UK) | How Crime Works | Insider
When I was 18/19 my friends and I were into smoking weed as a lot of young lads are. We would drive around in our cars, meet up in carparks or go into the hills etc. or sometimes just pull up to the side of the road on a quiet street. One night at like 3am I was with my friend sharing a joint in my car, and a police van pulled up along side us. The officers took one look at us, two white kids in Rugby jersey's, and said "Oh I'm sorry lads, I was just checking what was going on here?" We of course told the truth, we were two old mates just catching up. That was good enough for them and they left us alone. A few months later I was with another friend who is black. We were in his car which was a lot nicer than mine. It was much earlier, perhaps 9pm and still light out. We had no weed or paraphernalia on us, but we were immediately taken out of the car, breathalysed, pockets searched, car searched, and questioned rigorously about what we were doing. I will never forget the difference between those two encounters.
Would love to see and read more about the police from a UK perspective. I feel like it's all very US centric online and I want to know about the issues in my own country so I can help in some way.
They have one up
Just search racism UK police.
The uk police are beyond evil
Agree we don't understand but I've had my so-called civil rights violated and I can confirm that is indeed the worst feeling in the world. It's like being totally outcast socially and it takes all your hope away. I was lucky to win my case but I never forgot what it was like to feel so helpless and doomed.
I once got arrested for racial abuse that I didn't do. Demanded trail by jury, they dropped the case the day I was due to appear in court. Met my accuser in a pub months later, he apologised, said he was drunk and got me mixed up with someone else. What an arsehole! Nicholas was his name. Nobody needs undeserved police custody and pending court.
Im Canadian (our cops are bad too, but it is less publicly known about), white and I don't drive. So I haven't experienced any of this. I have only ever heard about police brutality online from the perspective of the United States. In Canada black boys have been murdered by white boys and were slandered by the media as a 18 or 20 year old black gang member. Who was killed because they were in a drug deal gone wrong. In reality this kid was just breaking up a fight and got stabbed because of it. I believe stop and frisk is not allowed anymore in the states and if it were I am shocked there isn't more outrage there for that. Stop and frisk without any evidence is disgusting. I am a nursing student doing a project on Racism and this helped a lot. Thank you for sharing your story!
On the West Coast we don't have many Black people to discriminate against. Mostly homeless and Natives being targeted. 😢
Not sure where in Canada you're from, but in my experience growing up in Winnipeg as a white female from a middle class family, I was no stranger to racism and inequality of treatment by police and other authority figures. I knew from a very young age that my indigenous friends had to leave their bags and the front of the store and I didn't, I knew that I could get out of a speeding ticket on a good day and my friends of black or indigenous background can't. I always knew and always hated it but to say it's not talked about in my opinion is false, it's taught to us, ingrained in us, it's talked about, just not from a place of empathy and care for human lives.😢
Stop and frisk cleaned up new york city for 20 years.. unfortunately now its back to sh$&tsville
Is it really that hard to think "if I were this person, how would I feel in this situation, what's a fair way to be treated?" Be it a police officer thinking about how he's treating a *potential* suspect (someone who hasn't done anything wrong) to even stupid things like "how should I treat this fast food employee" since in America, some people will threaten violence or pull out a firearm because someone forgot to add pickles to a burger(this is not hyperbole, it actually happens) Treating a human like a human seems to be a saintly act these days... This comment isn't to downplay police racism... Just to point out that it shouldn't be hard to see another person as *human* and treat them as such...
To play devil's advocate here, for people born into families where white supremacy is a problem, like in Evangelical Christian homes and areas, growing out of racist cultural beliefs, means potentially losing friends and family. It's one of the things that keep people trapped. But racist beliefs prevent people making new friends. So it can be hard for people fed a diet of "Fox News" or "The Daily Mail" in the UK to not see brown skinned people as dangerous threats. So the people that are helped to grow beyond their earlier racist pasts, have done something hard, and should be accepted, even if they have a slip up or use the language or phases drummed into them, that they haven't grown out of yet. Vaush and also the Muckrake Podcast and here in the UK, Novara Media are entertaining, great news sources and have been effective at deradicalising people out of racism.
In the 21st century everyone runs their life in statistics. In work, life and social. It's not surprising that police officers see statics like 80% of criminal will be black it's hardly a surprise and in all honestly stupid of police to treat everyone exactly the same.
This comment answers for itself but not in the friendly way
That’s not how police are trained though. They are taught that they must be respected automatically and everyone is a suspect. It’s a us versus them mentality instilled in them.
@@nooneisrightallthetime-zv7hs trained they must be respected? I seriously never thought of it like that, even as a kid I didn't trust or respect the police because I was taught "they're the good guys, or they're owed you're respect" I was taught (by family n friends) "don't EVER involve police for anything, don't ever tell them anything about anything, unless someone is robbed, hurt or something that's terrible, always tell them "I didn't really see anything, I'm not sure, I was thinking about schoolwork" etc.. as a kid.. and the respect they get is the same as anyone else who might have a pistol.. ignore them, they'll ignore you Granted I grew up in a large city (or of the top 10-20 largest US metro areas) That their pistol gets respect (in the "every gun is given respect and treated loaded etc and everyone with one is given that "person possessing firearm respect (same as I would when hunting or at range)" but that until that particular officer earns it, he gets "random regular person respect " at best, and usually to treat them with suspicion, as even at 10, I'd had more bad encounters with police than good "oh group of kids playing basketball at park, better annoy them and ask if they're in a gang, or that the courts reserved (when no one else is around) " type of interactions... I really am either that nieve, or was taught what people would riot about later, that the police think "I'm better than you because I'm police, and whatever I do is 1,000,000% justified" Attitude... But I'm also American so... It could be different if I was born British, or of a different race, or not having English spoken as one of my primary languages Because a gun and a title/job does not earn you respect IMO But the police are also 50% the same race as me, and 200% the amount of dbag as me at my worst IMO
I lived in London for 30 years and in America for the last 20 years. I am very pro police when they behave professionally, and I don't have a criminal record. London - I remember to this day being lined up with my friends, facing a wall being searched for no reason (under the Sus laws) after playing football in the Herne Hill area of south London. I don't remember many incidents while driving connected to the police because I used to take the bus/ train to and from work. There were riots in London I remember because of the 'stop upon suspicion' laws at the time. America - Many prisons are privately owned and the powers that be wanting to fill them up with as many brothers as possible. A traffic stop in America can easily lead to death or being taken to jail depending on the officer who could be professional or be on a power trip with a badge/ gun. I have had many negative experiences with traffic police over here. Basically, racial profiling is very common and has created the term ' driving while black'.
how are you still pro police
@@NithinJune Yes I am most definitely pro police because we need law and order in any country. We need the law to be enforced in a non-biased fair way and that is the problem. some police are fair and do a good job and some do not. I'm not going to say all police are bad because I would be lying but at the same time there are bad cops around who are protected by the system. I'm actually wondering if some undercover members or supporters of the BNP/ National Front can become a policeman?
Thank you for sharing your experience. People are always quick to dismiss this issue and assume that the person assaulted was at fault, or that they "resisted", when in reality it's the police department that is mainly corrupt and full of racists. They abuse their power and don't even want to give you a reason for why they're assaulting you. Racial profiling is a major problem too.

That is by design.
If you say police are mainly racist them we can say that blacks are mainly criminal?
your right, lets abolish the police, since its an inherently racist concept. boom racism cured
Truth
You have my total respect; for what you’re doing and how you’re doing it. Stay safe…
What do you mean by “how you’re doing it”??? That sounds like a slight towards anyone who does it “differently”.
@@drasta100 Yes, some auditors can be very aggressive and challenging. This guy is much more open and honest in the way he goes about it. I prefer his approach; it’s as simple as that.
How do people become so un empathic? They learn it. from their parents friends and superiors.
Put a human in a uniform and they become twats.
No one is unempathetic. Black people in both the UK and the US are known to be severe liars when it comes to racism.
I’m black and I’ve never been stopped and searched but it’s quite sad in our community that’s some people genuinely think it’s inevitable to happen when it shouldn’t br
This video should be shown as part of police training. It really highlights the issue of racism in the way that policing is carried out in this country.
It’s not about Training, that’s all you ever hear, it institutional !!
Wouldn't change anything .racism is something implanted in their beliefs and how they were raise . ( Or how they become do to the fact they are being expose by it daily by their colleagues ) Plus it's a question of over powerment . Some cops don't realize & may think and believe they not racist but the fact over taken advantage of people ( which is the majority of times 80/100 percent people of color ) makes itself racism . because it targeting a specific group of people . ( People usually immigrants with no knowledge of the law and people in poor situations without the voice to speak for themselves nor without any power .
Plus double factor even people of color Plot & do it to their own race . Cause once again of the fact being witness of the police practices to people of color on a daily notice . #2 the sense they have to proof themselves and fit in .#3 they can't really do it to whites because of the immediate backlash they will receive from they superiors and the systematic implacement of the judicial system of systematic racism .
this is also a self fulfilling prophecy. If you treat a group of people like that, you put people in lists that prevent them from getting jobs, you have them harassed and accused of crimes by the state, is it surprising if they turn to crime?
the irony is no one will believe their wonky slander nonsense they used to steal my devices in fact it will only make their pea nests smaller when looking at My Women.
I hear this guy so much. I find the UK such a weird contradiction. London is by far the richest city in the UK no cap but I've felt the most unsafe in the poorer neighbourhoods than in cities like Birmingham or Manchester as a black person. Even the style of policing is different.
Good point you made. Different Cities/ areas have different styles of policing. I felt more stress and had more occasional non friendly contact with the police when living in London but when I lived in Coventry for 3 years, I never had any contact with police, and it was far less stressful than London.
How does this only have 60k views…
because people don't care
I think it's the algorithm. I watched the previous video, and had to scroll a while to find this.
It’s a load of bollocks. I only watched it for a laugh
I know one guy, during community service, he said that the police handcuffed him because he looked fast 😂
Well clearly he had done something wrong if he's doing community service.
@@richardcook1987 true 😂
I commend this young man for giving an insight into his experience with the Police. Why is it that with the power that Police hold to uphold the law, they are able to police themselves if incidences happen and complaints are made about an officers misconduct. This is where the mistrust begins and then they going into self righteousness mode and they begin to act like bullies. For me, it seems as if across the globe, most of the police sing from the same hymn sheet of not upholding the law but their interpretation of it. The amount of times that you hear offices in videos giving their so called account of what happened as opposed to the body cam video that shows exactly what really happened. I like the work that he is doing to help repair the fractured relationship between police and the public.
Wow, Sayce is truly inspirational to be as calm as he is and passionate to create change even after his treatment by the Met.
Cops can make any excuse they want at anytime. I love the "it smells like drugs. Or it smells like alcohol" and "your eyes look droopy and your walking strange" literally anything they can make up and use as an excuse to stop and search someone

And they have every right to do so, and you agree to the law, if you live in this country, you don't have to blame the person who does his job
That's fcked up tho
I had 60k worth of filming equipment stolen by Swiss police in broad daylight.. . Nothing was done against them.
@@MrMooshroom What about them actually agreeing to do their job the way they're supposed to?
Why doesn't this have more views??? What is the KZhead algorithm doing when it comes to important videos that spread awareness and expose injustices???
I was thinking the same thing. It's a brilliant video on an important topic. I guess videos on drugs, guns, and other crime stuff is more exciting for most.
I was wondering the same thing too. I was watching the video in the middle of the night (insomnia) and I had to open my eyes and confirm those numbers. I was expecting over a million. Alas.
I’ve come to feel that 3 types of people join the police. People who genuinely want to do their best to protect, serve, help and change the institution from within, those who want a job, and those who actively want power and legal protection to oppress and abuse others. Unfortunately it seems the first group gets hounded out pretty quickly, and the second group starts to drift real close to the third after a bit of time in that culture that rewards them… Thanks for sharing, I’m in the UK but not London, and my appearance, bearing and accent have kept me from any trouble. It’s harrowing to learn about what’s happening to our fellow man, but it’s important we know to try and do what we can to prevent it.
No child should suffer that kind if abuse by the police, regardless of race.
Sure he had privileges as well being around Asians and whites. Go to Africa? Fck no
All this stuff happened to me my whole childhood and I’m white until you ask my name didn’t stop cops from “offering me a ride home” all the time and of course it’s not an offer and they have to search you before you get in and you’re probably not going home
It’s not about race it’s about weak victims that can’t fight back
@@nothanks9503 WRONG , WRONG , WRONG . How many stories do you hear of White boys being confronted like this by police officers ? It does not happen because if it did there would be huge public outrage . The British police are evil and they need to clear house and get their $hit together .
No police do not have to search you before you get into a police car because if that were true they would of searched me .
I don't even know what "dressed like a criminal" is supposed to mean. I can only guess that it means he was wearing clothes. Which I'm sure most criminals do. But then again, so does everyone else.
You know what it means. Why you acting dumb? The Road Man has a very clear uniform.
it means wearing the clothes that are fashionable with black teenagers. White teenagers wearing varying fashions don't get stopped and searched anyway near as often. My teenage Goth/ Metal offspring in London never gets sopped. Half the boys she goes to school do all the time.
@@01BenMillar I suspect you're right

This really sounds like the "stop and frisk" in NYC years ago...
This is a difficult but important video to watch. It's a global problem. The police have too much immunity and need to be held accountable.
Democracies are protecting criminals and cops. People were fooled by "freedom" so they don´t want a change.
your right, lets get rid of police. Boom racism cured
It’s interesting how policing policies and practices throughout the African diaspora are parallel/similar worldwide. His experiences are mirrored and hauntingly familiar though he is on the other side of the world. He seems to be doing great work. I would love to meet him and compare stories.
Great topic, half is useful
some people may never know. some people don't think outside themselves. dealing with the local authorities feel like a person is one moment away from death.
Nice work my brother massive respect.. I've recently had a nightmare with an Asian cop in Essex who refused to charge an Asian suspect for deliberately running me over in Broad daylight. I've had to file complaints and victims right to review to try and get any justice the case continues.... keep up the good work 👍 if only we would come together in unity.

yeah, and you also replaced 80% of your law enforcement with women lol hows that working for your nation?
@@Sam_Hyde_Apologist eh what?

@@andersbylund2753 The Sweden has 80% women cops claim, is a sign of racist propaganda brain rot. The only source I found was a reddit article of a white supremacist video showing, 3 Swedish women police officers struggling to arrest a Muslim immigrant. White supremacists like posting videos showing black people doing crimes, because it gives the false idea that black people as a group are violent criminals. That's why Fox News viewers shoot black teenagers, they're terrified of brown skinned people, because they're repeatedly shown videos that terrify them. It's so sad.
So what about if it is a child ?? Where would a heavy police officer police put is body weight on a child in that situation ?? 🤦🏻
That treatment he got as a child was sick
This was super hard to watch..part of me wants to think that its only America thats affected by this and older societies have done better... Oppression is an evil force that is far reaching with fallout everywhere...Good will overcome in the end. May God Bless you all as a community. My heart goes out to you and this fight.❤️
Very well and soft spoken!

@@michaelking2449 he is supposed to be, but on this topic, he could have been more aggressive in speech and tone and still be wright! ✌😎
I know you meant that as a compliment but this statement is based in racism. If this was a white person , you wouldn't make such a statement as it is implied that white people are "well spoken" and the other implication is that black people are not well spoken and are aggressive and this man in the video is an expectation hence your need to comment on his ability to communicate.
@@monzorella1This. 100%.
Statistics feeds an algorithm.
I got fine at a train platform for not having a ticket but it forgot to pay I went to ask the staff to buy ticket but they fined me instead I’m a immigrant I was just being polite asking for help and then they lie about me accusing me of threatening him using abusive language this happened in London he took me to court outside London
they should show this in schools!
Very happy that you have a platform to speak on this. Police racism is reinforced by racism coming from everywhere, including this comment section. Every educated person knows crime rates are skewed because of over policing and historical socioeconomic disadvantages, but people just want to talk smack to put people down on the basis of race.
100% this.
Crime rates being skewed because over policing 😂😂😂😂 You are mentally ill
Yeah sure
No accountability for actions based on a persons race… good for you. That attitude is promoting stabbings gangs and drug dealing. You’re right Police should just ignore them and let them do what they want because they’re black.
I'm a white guy, and I was strip searched by the police when I was 18 and arrested for cannabis possession. It was very traumatic and it took me a long time to recover. Police should not be traumatising people with strip searches, especially children. A pat down on the clothing should be enough to check for weapons, but only there's a valid reason, not simply because of police seeing a black or minority person. What's worse is that the police have decriminalised rape and sexual assaults, but think it's okay to arrest or search people for drugs. We should all have freedom in this country, and be able to walk or drive without being afraid of being stopped and searched.
West Mercia police sexually assaulted and assaulted a female. They declined her medical treatment and assessment by medical staff and SARC. She was treated so inhumane. One officer was really opposed to the mistreatment, we have a statement. Whilst detained she was denied toiletries, running water to wash and flush the toilet,food and medical care for her seizures and FND. She was spoken to disgustingly and disregarded. She was detained without a solicitor for 15.5 hours. They then slammed a charge of perverting the course of justice. She has scars from what they did to her- two officers
It's so bad when police abuse the public. It's not surprising that the police do this, but the trauma from injustice by authorities, really shakes people to their core.
I’m an abolitionist bc the current system is so broken
Being 70, lifelong learning, understanding, observation, experience and re-examination 247 365. For the last 35 to 40 years this 'British Isles' has morphed from a failing democracy into what I call 'Velvet Fascism'. Legalised crime, corruption (the quid pro quo rule) and the secrecy of professional liars in the private and public domain, and yet incredibly created and acted out in full view with impunity thereby anaesthetising the majority of an innocently ignorant population into an apathetic bliss. The pure roots of this began in the postwar (ww2) era, and now the hubris of certainty and stability prophesied by the 'leadership' of those early days has begun to eat away from within. Love always
Police and racism. The infamous iconic duo.
You and jobless. Neverending
That's very well put. It makes a person feel less than human. I have seen it first hand more than once and it's a very crushing experience that changes your world view. Every human should have the right feel comfortable in their own skin. Here in the states it's part of our constitutional 4th amendment rights.
This was an accurate description of the Met police after experiencing stop and search as a schoolboy. However, it is not just the Met Police; it's also the Kent Police, which is why I chose to leave the UK and live in Europe. That is not to say where I live today does not have racial issues, but I've never experienced racism elsewhere in the world like I have in the UK
You can't walk the streets of London safely anymore and this is the victim.
time for A CHANGE!!
This makes me incredible sad. Police need to stop being treated differently in the justice system. Police should never be above the law.
Police is to Enforce the law not to benefitting from the law If found breaking it, they should get double to sentence
And when they murder, the police should get prison for life with no parole. Also if there's no evidence, because they wipe the CCTV footage in the cells, then everyone at that station at the time should get found guilty of tampering with a murder investigation, and lose their jobs. It's better to hold the threat of collective punishment for police departments that kill people, than to have the current system, where murdering cops go free from lack of evidence.
Sayce really did a good talk, he explained his experience and how it is. None of it was tied up in political theory, he explain thing in a real way easy to understand. I agree about the lack of empathy it is a real problem. The whys are open to debate however the problem cannot be denied.
You are an inspiration, Mr Lewis ! I myself am, what would now be regarded as an 'Old' white guy, but I have no doubt that people from within the Black comunity routinely face discrimination from the police in general, and I think that's all part and parcel of the lack of respect exibited by far too many police officers toards prety much all members of the public, most of them don't even appear to have the requsite skills to be able to approach members of the public in anything resembling a professional maner, so I'm quite sure that we can safely say that many of those who are serving as police officers right now, are simply not fit nor proper people to be doing the job. So it's really great to see you doing something positive about all of this. Therefore, I take my hat off to you. Bravo !
Thank you insightful and powerful. So solution focused.
I agree with everything said here and it is a massive problem. The only thing im worried about is why would people want to join the police anymore due to being hated by so many people. There is going to be a shortage of workers as all of the good ones have left or didnt join in the first place
There is a very simple way to stop police from abusing the stop and search and traffic stops. Force them to specify the exact reason for the stop on their bodycam before they conduct the stop or approach the subject of the stop. Then they are only allowed to charge the person for that reason and not anything else. If someone is stopped for suspected knife carrying, then they cannot be held for small amounts of drugs or bold tyres on their car. I hope we can promote this idea into law.
Are you saying that what you just said, is not currently the law?
Makes no sense. Imagine being suspected of being a drugdealer then they find a dead body in the trunk. Sure man keep dreaming
Too bad the UK Police are too far gone and corrupt to even do that.
They can mute their cams I just found out (which they do almost at every stop for what they call "officer meetings"), or just turn them off...
@@spiralrose yes, fruit of the poisonous tree...If a police officer searches my home illegally and finds evidence of a crime, courts refuse to admit not only that evidence but evidence found legally if it was ultimately derived from the search. This doctrine is known as the “fruit of the poisonous tree.”

Sad that the issue that needs the most attention is the least watched video on this playlist
I am so sorry this happened to him, while I know not all police or officers are bad their is so many that are corrupt, minupulated, and racist people.
Stop and search is a good thing
They are also assaulting and unaliving women at alarming rates. The police are not fit for purpose.
What's up with the like dislike ratio? what's controversial about this video?
Probably him citing equity and anti-racism - both are controversial, divisive subjects.
Racists don't like being told that racism exists, that's why the dislikes and also the comments about, "blacks are violent criminals, that's why the police target them". Also racism is flat out wrong, stupid, and regressive, not "divisive" or a noble fight against "wokeness" or "cancel culture".
This is obviously a very difficult subject and i feel for anyone who has been targeted by police, who was completely innocent and was only targeted for the colour of their skin. However there is also another side of this. In London, the vast majority of young criminals are minorities. The gangs robbing people on scooters, the endless stabbings, muggings etc are mostly carried out by minorities. How are police supposed to tackle this without singling out minorities? There is also the problem that, since George Floyd, every black person who is arrested and resist, screams "i cant breathe" whilst being forceable arrested. There are certainly bad apples amongst the police, and the met are the least trusted force in the country. Living more rurally in the UK, it was young white boys around the council estates who were targeted by the police, and rightly so. We were typically up to no good on any given day. I guess because i am of the majority ethnicity in this country, i never thought about skin colour being a factor, but my social class was obviously a factor. This guy clearly has justified grievances, but i think he is only seeing one side of the issue.
Fraternal order of police
Look up the name mansa musa. Yall been lied to
I understand the sentiment and realities of the issues we face but our people need to stop committing crimes at the levels that mean many of us law abiding people of same shade are not tarred with the same brush. In the same breath, our people only remember they are black when they face some form of bigotry and reality bites. When they're with the "in" crowd, they ignore their people's social issues. No offence, therapy talk is utter garbage, the Black family should revert to the traditional family structure, father - mother- two parent household not this state orchestrated, incentivised single-mother households with women raising boys they can't control 🤯🤯🤯 Enough of the excuses, we must do our part as a people😡😡😡
Literally
Amen
Just look at what has happened to London. We can't even walk on the streets without the threat of getting robbed. What a shame!!!

When I was in graduate school years ago, I used the same solution. The professor said it was an unacceptable answer
I'm so glad you specified that this was in the UK so I didn't confuse it with a different country that has a racism problem.
@Miraj You spent way too much time expressing your opinion for how little I care about it have a nice day.
Guilt by association!!! Lmaoooo
Holy sh*t Such things should never happen
Yeah. But they're mostly criminals

Where there's a group of people who have never been ethical towards another group of people there will never justice.
I find police more suspicious than actual people, now I can say I've been stopped by police many not as many times as a black person but whenever I'm dressed in sportswear they give me funny looks they ask me questions like "why you hanging out in this area that's known for dealing drugs" when I'm literally waiting for the bus it's absurd and sad tbh its a shame not much has changed in decades.
Don't wear baggy tracksuits outside of the gym? Simple solution.
@@AnotherSignIn100I had a painful cyst on my sub pubic region and could only wear baggy sweatpants for about a year because that’s how long it took to find a doctor competent enough to fix it they told me it couldn’t be fixed at first
@@AnotherSignIn100 jeans aren't that comfortable people shouldn't need to be uncomfortable just because a copper could unjustly stop them
@@masonhollis3753that brings up a whole new topic about too much casual wear in general. Dress smart and notice the difference in how people treat and perceive you. This applies to everyone.
keep going head

Wearing eyeglasses, a suit and a tie 👔 works like a shield for blank people.
A comedian on You-Tube said he wears thick nerdy glasses and an ugly Christmas sweater and calls it 'Police Repellant.'
The richest country in the world turning there backs on political and religious refugees .. Ireland shows it's true racist colours.
I got assaulted by met police age 8
I don't understand the point of the video... I'm skimming through it to see keypoints but I'm failing to understand what the issue is? I'm a black male.. late 20s in my early teens I was stopped and searched several times. I live in east London never committed any crimes, used to dress like a rug rat hoodlum, never had a bad attitude, never been assaulted by police just doing their job, in my early 20s I was stopped several times by police whilst driving, I was stopped by armed police, undercover, petrol, bully van you name it... never had any issues or fail play there.. in my late 20s now I don't get stopped by police, I dress maturely, act maturely and ultimately attain the same attitude as I did before, only now i UNDERSTAND profiling without the racial attached to it. you guys figure it out for yourselves, dress like a clown act like a clown the circus will follow you.
Sadly some people are too emotional, can’t think logically. This guys whole personality is built around him being a victim. He did this to himself not police. At the end of the day when his son gets stabbed by some youth that could’ve been prevented by a search it’ll be his own fault
At first i was thinking "what a polemic video!" Because i expected to be given an explanation as to how police being racist is benefitial to crime fighting. Didn't know i was this dumb
You mean "didn't know I was this racist"
Man! That film reel sounds needs to be retired.
This will only get worse with the recent proto-fascist governments here in the UK, the new policing bill, protests bill...
I've lived in London for 32yrs and never had an issue with the police. I've never encountered or had dealings with the police. And that's the way it should be. They're there as support so perhaps people should be afraid of the police and feel intimidated because some people are all too comfortable with their dealings with them
BECAUSE OF YOUR WHITE PRIVELEDGE LADY.
🥺😫😫🥺🤲🏻
How can we speak to this man ?
so telling and so sad that this is the least watch video in this series, yet may be the most important. im so sorry your story is not being heard by more people, you matter. we matter. our peoples trauma matters
thank you for exposing my ignorance.. i thought black persons were treated better by police in th UK, compared to the United States.
same happening in Sweden but the media is very silent about it, they will pass a law soon which gives the right to police to search and strip people in specific areas where majority of people are black.
Because the commit psychotic levels of crime, same as in the UK
I agree dehumanisation is a problem, but I often find these types of activists talk about police in a dehumanising way. This guy is fairly reasonable in his language, but a lot of the anti-police crowd are terrible for it. Before people pile in, I'm not particularly in favour of police having lots of power, but I do think they hold a valuable place in public life.
I think that's a very fair and balanced assessment while still acknowledging that there is a problem.
I agree with you Cedric their needs to be police accountability and reform. But if there were no police there would only be vigilante justice. Then instead of some people not getting due process such as black people absolutely no one would.
I think the problem is that a lot of these people have been heavily traumatised by the police- I don’t think you can expect them to not care.
Searching for missing people, arresting tax avoiders, investigating burglaries, fraud, and sexual assaults, those are all valid reasons for policing. But hassling people for what drugs they use, when the police don't investigate rapes. That shows the police have their priorities wrong. So much reform is needed to turn the police into a service that protects the public, instead of just another gang who only care about protecting their pensions and the wealth hoarding ruling class.
the sad thing here is that every single thing this lad said is true
Ill just say that 13 percent of the populace in America is 32 in its prisons and 3 percent of the populace in Britain is 12 in its prisons. This was found in less than 10 minutes of searching government databases online for anyone who wants to check it out. East Asians are 6 percent of America but 1 percent of its prisons and South Asians are 9.5 percent of Britain and 8 percent of its prisons. Also, Hindus are 2 percent of Britain and 0.4 percent of its prisons. I'd say the US and UK are the worst white supremacists out there lol. So, Jews, East Asians, non-Islamic South Asians and Hindus are ethnic or religious groups that come to the Anglosphere and outcompete the preexisting white, Christian background population and no one cares, rightfully so. So why can't blacks? Britain was 99.7 percent white when race and ethnicity was first tallied in the country's census. So, there was nowhere near the proportion of black people in the country to be slaves or to freak the white population into caring to segregate or discriminate against them as was done in South Africa or the American South. If one is to use the excuse of past sins, such as imperialism and slavery in the empire to justify it then they must account for the success of Jews, Hindus and East Asians relative to that of ethnically European gentiles. Since Jews have been discriminated against for millennia, East Asians were discriminated against and even segregated in North America, Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong and Hindus were under control through the British Empire. Yet today they prosper more than whites of Christian backgrounds do. I'm thinking it's not the racism of Anglo or Western society that holds blacks back, but rather themselves. Anecdotal evidence of one's experiences, when eyewitness accounts are notoriously unreliable, do not disprove the overall trend. Besides, if the West is so racist, Britain and America especially, then why do blacks and other non-whites incessantly flee to Western countries?
When you actually look at the data for "more than 10 minutes" as you put it, you'd find that rates of crime between races is functionally indentical when you look by income and social prevation. I wonder if 100's of years of racism and oppresion might have something to do with why black people are disproptionally poor, and thus over-represented in crime.
Just going to leave a comment before it gets locked. It's going to be locked due to either racists or what I assume are children who don't know better.
perceived racism, anyway.
What’s racist about factual comments about statistics?
@@Helllow1012 Statistics only tell you numbers. They don’t tell you how to react to those numbers. This is about the latter, not the former. But racists want people to think otherwise.
@@Helllow1012 Statistics made by my step father, or by the local government would say there's 0 sexual assaults to his step children before he died. Ask my sisters years later? Much more than 0. But because nothing was reported and the person in power had all control, that statistic stays at 0. Using official statistic, our white household had zero problems. Dont use reported statistics as a defence. Anybody that spends a moment to think about it will know it's not accurate. Another example, which is quite silly, would say you have one testicle. And one boob. As statistically people have one testicle and one breast capable of feeding offspring. Wooo, statistics! Such a great source! Gonna rub my one testicle then milk my onr boob while thinking about how statistics are a perfect argument to use.
@@Helllow1012 Your listening to a government that was already built in place for things to come out to be seen as ‘ fact ‘. Statistics only show what is going on, but if you read in history how it was already planned out, like jobs, who gets what in society because of things like discrimination, then you’ll know the main target is suppose to be. Then they come to people ‘sheep’ and put this out to the heard. So you can go in you mind, those people, not all, but a majority, are bad. I was heavy on that myself, due to the news, more open conversations on social platforms and your more into the real world. Luckily I meet nice people from all races, all the time. The news and police are here to divide, so many articles I have read from people who are able to get in those high places are caucasian.
Beautiful voice
UK racism world champion ENGLAND.
This is how Policing under Capitalism is DESIGNED to work. Policing is there to protect private property and to suppress the political power/agency of the Labour classes. Capitalism needs unemployed to keep wages down and it needs unskilled labour to do the shitjobs for as little pay as possible. POLICE are there to keep those people oppressed, demoralised and in conflict with their own community. Police are used to prevent the working classes from unifying and gaining political power with which they can challenge the rule of capital/investment classes. Look at the First UK Police used to break up the Chartist Movement and how Thatcher used the Police to smash the Unions.
Hey weird question to ask on KZhead but do you have any books/media recommendations to learn more about this sort of thing ?
Im dealing with something right now, awaiting surgery on my shoulder all because of this TSG!!! . How do i get in contact with this guy, hes story is just out of bounds and typical of police in "run down" areas. Im from Tottenham and the history of police crap runs deep!!
100 years has passed since the WW1 and for what causes. Even the government are having PTSD
Shorts and a white t-shirt? Book him. Another win for the good guys. All in a day's work. All's well that ends well. There goes the neighborhood. If you're not 1st you're last. Just do it. Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids. ...And knowing is half the battle.
A squad has to be formed to gather information on these police criminals.Then they need to be taken to task.Thats the only thing to fight back
