  • Good man Ben631 for putting your point of view. If any other section of the community

    Black

    Muslim

    Were treated with such rabid generalisations as the Police on this forum, there would be uproar.

    This reminds me of the type of argument that equates people with 'ginger hair' with 'black' people, the argument usually follows a 'ginger' joke, perhaps on the radio ( . . ."What's the difference between a ginger and a brick? Bricks can get laid" . . .etc) - the proponent then goes on to ask you 'would you be so ready to take the piss out of someone for being black' - the argument, of course, conveniently ignores 200 years of violent oppression, torture, murder and enslavement.

    The police have not suffered in the same way as some of these minorities have (often at the hand of the police), to equate the two is silly.

    There are good and bad in any section of society, and most of the Police officers I know are there for the finest of reasons and are not corrupt, power crazed morons.

    How many police officers do you know ?

    I don't think anyone has seriously put forward the idea that all police officers are corrupt, power crazed morons.
