I see so we now assume its a race issue because it was a bunch of white officers and he is black. ever noticed how its always blacks and "ethnic minorities" crying racism.
Do you think it's possible that the reason could be because black and ethnic minority people have suffered more from racism than white people perhaps?

An analogous statement might be "ever noticed how its always women crying rape.[?]"

Of course some men are raped but nowhere near as many as women. Consequently we hear more women complaining about rape.

No.
Seriously? You're claiming that it's impossible that black and ethnic minority people have suffered more from racism than white people?

I don't think there's much point continuing this discussion.

So fking what. Welcome to the 20th century where we are all equals. So they suffered racism many years ago. Life's a bh get over it we've all moved on so should they. Most of those claiming racism these days werent even borne in the bad old days of racism.

It's amazing.

Someone who comes across well and makes valid points in a thread of a similarish nature (Oslo Bombing) can seem like an entirely different person who won't listen to reason in another.

We've solved that one then. Racism no longer exists.

Next up. Ending World hunger.

Racism exists certainly but to whine that its racism every time someone who is non white is merely looked at quite frankly is starting to royally piss me off. Hell whining screaming and shouting because someone called you a name derogatory or otherwise is pathetic. People should stop playing the victim and grow up.

So this guy was attacked by a bunch of officers. Were they right to do so? No but running around labelling it and screaming about it being racism is pathetic. Punish them for attacking an innocent man not because he is of a certain skin colour.

I think you have a point.
Undoubtedly he was treated appallingly. But why is the automatic assumption made that this was solely because he is black?
