promote love and all the hate will have no choice but to die off...



Racism isn't love - and needs to be rooted out for love to Flower.


Kill it with kindness brother...


You turn the other cheek. Others will do the real work for you.


If you choose to die off along with the hate, that is your decision...


We all die. At least I'll have my grip on hate's throat.


You'll have a grip on your own throat.


I'll have a grip on my own humanity.


Your humanity obviously wants to live by hate....that's your choice. I offer another...:)


My humanity wants to fight hate. You turn the other cheek.


Yes, that appears to be the case. . .lets give it a try. why fight? Has it helped anything?


Back to reality.

...Black people are 30 times more likely than white people to be stopped and searched by police in England and Wales, according to new analysis which reveals that "racial profiling" has increased over the past year.

Researchers say the findings, based on government statistics, represent the worst international record of discrimination involving stop and search.

The figures refer to the use of section 60, the contentious police power that allows officers to stop and search people without reasonable suspicion and which was cited as an aggravating factor behind the August riots. Analysis by the London School of Economics (LSE) and the Open Society Justice Initiative shows during the past 12 months a black person was 29.7 times more likely to be stopped and searched than a white person. That figure was 26.6 the previous year.

In 2009, black people were 10.7 times more likely to be stopped than whites under the controversial "exceptional" power. Mounting disquiet over the policy's damaging effect on black communities prompted Scotland Yard last week to announce a scaling back of its use of section 60, which has become a central element of the Yard's anti-knife crime strategy...

The next riots will come as a complete surprise to you won't they?



No, there will always be lowlifes that need free flatscreen televisions so bad, that they'll use any excuse to get them.

...A separate analysis, based on Home Office data, reveals that less than 0.5% of section 60 searches led to an arrest for possession of a dangerous weapon, five times fewer than a decade ago.

Dr Michael Shiner, of the campaign group StopWatch and the Mannheim Centre for Criminology at the LSE, said: "More than ever, we need policing to be fair and accountable. All too often impacted communities have complained about abusive police tactics only to be ignored or, worse still, told they are wrong. Searches that do not require individual suspicion are particularly divisive and should be conducted sparingly, if at all.

"The very existence of section 60 should be critically reviewed and, if it is found to be necessary, increased safeguards and strict criteria should be put in place, including judicial authorisation, before the power can be mobilised."

On Friday, the IPCC conceded that stop and searches that yield no arrest were antagonistic and "highly intrusive"...

Which makes for good motivation for the cops to arrest you for something...anything at all...when they stop you.

Or, are you saying that cops shouldn't stop anybody at all?

Where in your quote does it make reference to race?

...The police officer who was recorded on a mobile phone allegedly racially abusing a black suspect inside a van has been charged – reversing an earlier decision in which prosecutors decided he should not face charges.

Metropolitan police constable Alex MacFarlane was recorded allegedly making the comments to a suspect arrested days after the riots last summer.

The suspect, Mauro Demetrio, 21, used his mobile phone to record the encounter. In January the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) initially decided not to bring criminal charges against MacFarlane or another police officer who Demetrio alleged strangled him in the back of a police van.

Last month the CPS agreed to review its decision after being threatened with legal action by Demetrio's lawyer, Michael Oswald...

And there'll always be lowlife police stirring up trouble with their racist actions.



But the riots weren't about racist coppers. It might have taken that seriously if they were targetted at the police, and I think some of the early protests were against racist police violence, but by the time your beloved freedom fighters were running Pakistanis (?) over with their cars, and kicking the retired to pulp it wasn't about that anymore.

That's what happens in riots. They get out of control. That's why the police shouldn't spark them off. It was racist police shooting a black guy the last time. The next time?

...Scotland Yard is facing a new case of alleged police racism after a black firefighter who tried to assist officers while off duty claimed he was targeted because of his skin colour, abused, assaulted and shot with a stun gun.

The complaint lodged by Edric Kennedy-Macfoy, 28, from north London, is the 10th case involving alleged racism known to have been referred to the official police watchdog in the last three weeks.

Kennedy-Macfoy was driving through Harrow around 3.30am on 4 September when he saw a young man hurl a rock at a police van. After noting a description of the young man, Kennedy-Macfoy, who also trained as a police constable, flagged down the van driver and approached a line of officers to pass the information on.

He said he was horrified at their response, which he alleges included officers behaving like "wild animals": swearing at him, dragging him from his car, subjecting him to a "violent" attack and eventually shooting him with a stun gun...

The Police by law have to investigate a racial crime, a crime is deemed to be racist if the victim believes the racism to be a factor in the perpetrator motivation.
Investigation does not mean that an offence has actually been committed or that the motivation was actually racism.
The Police are drawn from the society in which we live, racism is a factor in society and as a microcosm of our society of course there will be some Police that are racist. It doesn't mean that all or even the many of them are racist. The fact that the Met is investigating the alleged cases goes to show that its something that is being addressed by the service.

...Kennedy-Macfoy said this was not his first experience of discrimination at the hands of police: "I always get stopped by the police and it's always the same. [Police say:] 'Oh, you know, loads of these cars get stolen, so we just need to check you are who you say you are, blah blah blah.' And I know it is because I'm black. My friend Vince, he's a fireman – he borrows my car sometimes and it's a running joke at the fire station – he's never been stopped."

Brian Paddick, a former senior officer at Scotland Yard, said on Thursday he would appoint an independent commissioner for standards to help tackle "endemic" racism within the Metropolitan police if he were elected London mayor in May...

Well, you do have to grab Black Balls. That's clearly a racist act.



...and how dare some of those self righteous white pins stand their ground and not topple over, cowering away in fear! No respect I tell ya...no respect.

Clearly, when looking at the ball rack, the black balls get singled out more often than the other colors.

...The home secretary is considering ordering a new public inquiry into the murder of Stephen Lawrence, the Guardian has learned.

The prospect of a new Macpherson-style inquiry – the original report published in 1999 made landmark findings against the police – has been triggered by allegations that police corruption may have shielded the gang that murdered Lawrence in a racist attack.

Theresa May sees the allegations as being of the "utmost importance" which must be investigated thoroughly to avoid undermining confidence in the police .

Doreen Lawrence has called on the home secretary to order a second public inquiry into the police investigation of the murder of her son, who was killed by a racist gang 19 years ago, on April 22, 1993...
