Suffolk police stop a black couple for "driving a motor vehicle on a road"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVYmbELMasQ (ITV News Youtube)

Unbelievable.

More of the footage can be seen here (Apologies, it's the Telegraph Youtube channel):

One wonders how many other times this happens in the UK but isn't recorded.

They were staying at Mrs Antoine-Oniyoke's mother's house while their own house was renovated.

Quote...The female officer tells them "You have turned something irate that shouldn't be. You are just jumping on the bandwagon – that's not okay".

The officer appeared to be referring to the Black Lives Matter protests.

The male officer then tells Mr Oniyoke and Mrs Antoine-Oniyoke "you look suspicious".

He continued: "You can argue and you can say 'why, why, why the whole time'."

Mrs Antoine-Oniyoke tells them "this is disgusting" while her husband says "this is profiling".

"You can laugh and shake your head as much as you want," Mrs Antoine-Oniyoke says...Her parents had only been to the garage to collect her mother's car and had "glanced" at the police car parked in the quiet street as they returned.

The two officers only left when her father showed them ID.

Great charge, there. Not The Nine O' Clock News' " Constable Savage" sketch celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.

Shit Good Nose

On the plus side at least they weren't in the States.  They'd probably have been shot dead for having a momentary glance at a police car.

The officer looks like he's just stepped off the Sons Of Anarchy set.  Sorry, was I unfairly prejudging him on his appearance by saying that?    Yes.

I really fucking hate it when people drive motor vehicles on roads.

Bastards.

For anybody who hasn't seen that wonderful piece of genuinely-satirical comedy:

(Sorry it's such a crap copy, but seems to be the best available.  Weird, given that it was on the DVDs and that other NTNOCN DVD-ripped sketches are available on YouTube.)

For anyone confused by the main punchline: click here.  For anyone confused by the secondary punchline: you need to watch more Not the Nine O'Clock News. :-)

I feel sorry for the police to be honest. They've got their pictures all over the Internet, their careers are probably down the shitter and all because they made the simple mistake of being massively racist.

What sort of country is it where you can't be massively racist anymore?

Fuck, this is so, so bad:

Guilty of being wealthy while being black.

I also can't get over just how much the copper in the original story looks like both James "God's Cop" Anderton, and Grange Hill's Mr. Baxter.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

I wonder how many white buy to let landlords would be treated that way.

The piece raises a good point in that you can't even be the neoliberal's sweetheart, a rent seeking parasitic buy to let landlord and escape the pervasive profiling and shitty attempts to retroactively justify the witch hunting that you attract as a black person.

Change the system.



Flouncer

I can't quite believe she's so brazen as to say, "You're jumping on a bandwagon," to a black person! I mean, you can see them thinking that and saying so later in private, but to actually say it to the person you've just obviously profiled, at a time like this, when there are protests going on as we speak? While you're being filmed as well?!? It just goes to show that these fucking bacon breaths are as thick as they are racist. What a shower of bastards.

It's a bit like saying "I've been a racist for ages, actually, since before it was uncool."

Especially as 'being a massive racist' would've been a prerequisite for joining the police at the time.  Talk about shifting the goalposts.

BAME former and current UK police tell about their experiences of racism within the police

Pretty grim reading

That's interesting reading but what it doesn't mention is that all that behaviour contravenes workplace equality legislation.

Young black guy with no previous in nice car (garage courtesy car while his own even nicer car is in for a service) gets pulled by TSG for a strip search because when the pigs turned up nothing, they used the excuse that he was in possession of Vaseline.

I'm not going to link to any of the pile-on of semi-anonymous police accounts and their boot-fellating catamites tying themselves in knots trying to defend the indefensible, but on Tuesday I will be stealing a whole tub of McVities Family Circle from the police station. #reparations

How are we supposed to enjoy post-racist 'ironic' 00s comedy guilt free when black people keep insisting on proving that systematic institutional racism and racist harassment didnt end in 1979?  Let's take a moment to remember the real victims here.

I had to Google "TSG" to be reminded that that's what they rebranded the SPG as.  Some great info about their past and recent activities in this thread:

Btw, what's the problem with Vaseline?  Best I can make out from the threads is that it can be used to hide drugs in some way, but I'm buggered if I can work out how without it ruining them...
