unfortunately i fear the backlash of the "racism" card being pulled if the police use force is at the forefront of all the decision-makers minds and thats why little is being done... pisses me right off. You're not being tasered, shot at with rubber bullets and hit with batons because you're not white, it's because you're a scumbag di*khead attacking others and ruining others' livelihoods.. fairs fair where racism lies and it should never be tolerated, this isn't one such occasion! And nor was thursday if the guy had a gun and was shot - don't care if he's white, black, or multicoloured, don't carry a gun, don't risk dying for being a prat.. very simple.
