Just saw this list resurrected, wondered what the outcome was if the boy arrested.
Garajo, I feel the same about a black youngster dying in police custody at as a white boy. The inference from you is that most of us are racists.
If you look at the figures of those convicted of a criminal act and serving time in prison that are black you will see how proportionally high that percentage is.
The black people I know are law abiding.
It's so easy to print these emotive headline without knowing the facts and I hope the whole episode was filmed, it should be.. Being black hasn't stopped the mother of this boy getting on in life. I believe in equality not preferential treatment. If you have been in these shops, struggling to survive being descended on by students milling around openly taking things they are hardly little victims, black and white just the sane..The shop assistants have to stand by and do nothing as they would get hurt, they are doing a job and it's not policing shoplifters. A man in our local H and M walked out the door carrying loads of clothes in his arms , there were no security guards and one slip of a girl on the till, customers told the girl, but what could she do? I'm on the side of justice, I wouldn't want my girl tackling such people and risk abuse. If one of mine broke the law he or she would be in hot water from me.
