White Privilege - MET Police

No not guilty until proven innocent VS. She was suspected of not paying because she refused to produce the evidence that proved she had, despite being asked three times to do so.

Yet, it was in her hand

Does that not concern you?

I mean, I would lose my ticket in seconds being me, would I expect that level of manhandling over a ticket for a few quid?

No

Yep, they were doing their job. If you don't produce a ticket/pass when asked, they do what they do.

Whoever it is.

It's turned out to be a non story.🙄

If it's fine for a young black woman, it is fine for anyone right?

Manhandling vulnerable, disabled, elderly over £2 when they bought and paid for a ticket?

Do we produce links when asked?

Well if I had lost my ticket I would explain calmly and politely that I had. I wouldn’t start screaming and ranting.

She caused the trouble, upset her child and wasted police time. She obviously didn’t accept that she had to show her ticket upon request. If everyone had such a sense of entitlement there wouldn’t a train or bus service. Just comply and be on your way. It’s not difficult - unless you want it to be.

Where was she screaming apart from when her arm was twisted?

No ranting either

Can we not discuss in line with the evidence we actually have?

It's now a non-story. We can all speculate, but there's no longer an issue.

But still no link Diamondlily

Strange discussion this

We must believe your word when you say something but we don't believe a black woman saying "I've done nothing wrong" with a ticket in her hand

Manhandling vulnerable, disabled, elderly over £2 when they bought and paid for a ticket?

Well, I'm a pensioner, disabled, and maybe classed as vulnerable.

I've never been manhandled.

Because I produce my ticket/pass when requested.

It's all very easy.

But no links when requested Diamondlily

If there isn't one for any reason, maybe just ask for your comment to be deleted so it doesn't confuse other participants expecting to see a news update or wasting time looking for one

Presumably if you'd lost your ticket VS when asked to produce it you would explain and perhaps apologise, or would you ignore whoever was asking and walk away?

I don't know if links are being produced when asked, but I asked you for evidence to support the claim on twitter you referred too earlier that this woman had been singled out, and you haven't produced any.

Exactly. That why we buy tickets and passes as evidence of paying, until mind reading is an exact science that’s how it works.

And no evidence when requested VS.

According to Twitter, or X as it is now known

She was singled out to show the bus ticket

Claims she was abusive by ticket staff have been withdrawn

And then you have people like this utter joy to behold (sarcasm) saying she is a criminal and must be a drug addict

Yay UK?

I stated according to Twitter X, not according to an investigation or news article I can easily share

Yes, you were able to share what Lord Kaley put on social media VS. Was that not on twitter?

Perhaps DL isn't able to provide a link or can easily share where she came across the information she provided.

You want photos of other people saying things on Twitter?

Happy to go find them again but they are only people like Lord Kaley?

Serious question, you want me to go through my feed and screenshot random people saying things?

No, no one expects you to do anything. People still have their jobs, no one has made a formal complaint. And, no, I haven't got a link, but I do know this.

I haven't got a clue who Lord Kaley is.

What do you expect to happen?

If someone actually involved makes a formal complaint, then I'm sure someone will investigate it.

Meanwhile, it's a non story.

Right

So no link then, pure conjecture

DiamondLily

The transport inspectors and LT police have been cleared of any inappropriate behaviour.

End of story. 🙄

Here is what you said

And also I was aware there was an investigation on going so was waiting for the outcome

Here is a link that shows it is being investigating

Very confusing day on this thread when it needn't be

“Non-story”, “end of”, just because you say so then, DiamondLily?

No, but until, and if, there is a resolution, there isn't a story.

But, carry on.

Diamondlily I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve but you have the wrong information from somewhere
