Being white, I’ve never been searched or arrested for looking at a police officer. Listen to the tone and the disrespect shown by officer’s in this video. It makes me feel sick to my stomach to know this is STILL happening on a regular basis in London:
Honestly the “you’re shaking a lot, why are you shaking?” bit has got me raging. Disgusting. Maybe he’s shaking because he’s seen what happens to young men like him when they get unnecessarily harassed.
To those saying “we don’t know the context” - there are later videos of this episode where it is clear no arrests are made/no reason given. Even if these men were stopped for something appropriately, the language and antagonising tone is wrong and wouldn’t de-escalate anything.
