Unconscious bias / racism/ assumptions made maybe?

welbeck Oh dear! He's wearing a grey top and they were looking for someone wearing a blue hoodie!

Unfortunate start to any investigation really!

Aren't there laws about minors in custody?

I am sure there are. Presumably someone asked a boy in school uniform what his age was!? If not why not\? If they did then why didn't anyone contact the mother. Somehow I think he would have provided the number!!

remember not to greet your brother in the street, unless you want to be stopped and searched by police.
oh, unless you are white, that's all right.
guess some on here will say, well what did they expect, behaving like that.
they know the police will think that, so they shouldn't draw attention to themselves. ?
or something.

It would be interesting to know what the "drugs paraphernalia" was that was apparently seen in the car!! Or was that the statement no longer valid as made by the dismissed officer maybe?
