Here are what some police have to say:

And the critical bit at the end.

Chief Constable Garry Forsyth from Bedfordshire Police in a statement says racism has no place in policing and it is an issue that is close to his heart that he is determined to tackle.

He states: "It is important that these former officers have spoken out about being subjected to racism while working for Bedfordshire Police and I'm sorry there was not suitable support in place to encourage them to stay within our organisation and continue their careers with the force."

The Chief Constable goes on to say as a force they are working hard to put new processes in place to support police officers from all backgrounds including appointing a new Chief Superintendent to look at recruitment, retention and progression but and admits there is still more to be done.

The Chief Constable says there is still more to be done. That doesn't sound like there's no problem to me.

I mean, does it not occur to you that you're scraping the barrel here?

Someone saying "there's a problem" is not evidence there's a problem. Your idea of proving there's racism in the UK police is to show the courts might be racist in their sentencing, and then quoting a cop who says "yeah there's a problem".

I'm yet to see actual police racism, just people saying it's a problem.

Don't know what to tell you. Open your eyes.

So you don't have any evidence other than "obviously"?

Where is the evidence to support your claims of equality?

Here's some more not-evidence for you.

From the top link:

Sean died at Brixton police station in 2008, after police officers used ‘unsuitable force’ while he was being ‘restrained in the prone position’. No police officers have ever been held accountable for his death – just as they haven’t for the other 642 men and women in England and Wales who died in the custody of police officers from 1996 to 2011. Indeed, no police officer has been convicted for a death in the UK since 1971.

Wow no convictions of police for a death in the last 50 years.


Oh, and look, if you don't tell the court the guards are hate-mongering racists, they don't get convicted!

Or ‘Justice for Jimmy Mubenga!’ That last one certainly should have been familiar, given that at the time of the protest three G4S security guards were on trial for his manslaughter, Mubenga having died in their custody while being deported from the UK. His last words, like Eric Garner’s, were ‘I can’t breathe’. The verdict? Not guilty, after evidence of two of the guards’ virulent racism was ruled inadmissible.

Looks like those regulators are doing a top job.
