But it's ok because...

Avon and Somerset police are:

Commissioning an independent review of the force’s approach to stun gun use, which is being carried out by another police force

Brilliant!

Yes he’s a black Rastafarian and they all look the same don’t they.

But the copper didn't say that did they? What was actually said was 'you look famliliar', exactly what you typed. So it is you that is jumping to snap decisions based upon you own likes and dislikes rather than the copper. This plod made a mahoosive error, don't tar them all with the same brush.

Like all groups of people / jobs, some are great, some are awful, most are mediocre. I've had a few runs ins with the police in my life and almost all have been absolutely fine. But then I'm a white bloke so don't get stopped randomly for little reason - although I did a bit as a youngster. It didn't bother me then, as I understood that there was a bit of a Cold War between the local police and the teenagers trying to entertain themselves (even if that meant breaking into a school playground at night and noisily playing basketball).

I did get followed by the police once, as I drove home from a mates place at about it midnight. After about 15 miles they eventually pulled me over and were immediately aggressive - I wound my window down and the officer (early 20's, as I was) shouted in my face "why are you driving like a ****ing idiot". It just went downhill from there. They eventually let me off with a verbal warning not to speed. Obviously, having seen them behind me the entire time, i had travelled at exactly the speed limit or below. Took me bloody ages to get home. I still wonder what they were trying to achieve - they didn't breathalyse me.

A Police car, and later a helicopter, followed a vehicle from just outside Worthing to Crawley, late on a Friday. When they eventually pulled the car over, the Police discovered my 75 year old parents on their way back from the Theatre in Chichester, and not the housebreakers they were looking for.

Tar brush ? Very good.

Whether they are racist or not is moot, what they clearly were is stupid. Taser should be a last resort to prevent the policeperson from being injured not the go to weapon for belligerent old men who get stroppy...

That’s absolutely ridiculous. Surely they should have turned off at Slindon and gone up the A29 via Petworth and Horsham

why refuse to give your name? seems pointless
