    It looks like I'm of a similar mindset as the former head and founder of the Campaign for Racial Equality that spawned a lot of the movements we see today.

    These stabbings one hears of in London and some our biggest cities - do we have any indications of the culprits?

    If so, one would hope the police would act appropriately to apprehend them.

    I'd guess it's 1,999 more people than you've polled for your view. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    It's called profiling and for some reason it's become a bad thing these days.

    It could be called utilizing your limited resources where they will be most effective.

    And 2000 more than you have. My poll is irrelevent. You seem to think the poll you posted from the Guardian is. Go down the pub tonight and poll your mate and claim statistical proof.

    It was one article, I also posted an interview with Trevor Phillips. Neither are the sole root of my understanding. Your response explains why I ignored your previous demand.

    Demand?

    Your Phillips clip came immediately after you Guardian post.
    Why would I possibly bother to read a potentially garbage piece of analysis? Relevent or not to the subject at hand.

    Andy Robertson is playing well tonight.

    People who think racism and police brutality is a uniquely American problem need to get a grip. And the attitude of 'they've had their little protests and kneeling, now they should stop and know their place' is exactly why they should keep protesting and kneeling.

    Stopping those most likely to have committed a crime is fair enough, stopping twice as many wouldn’t really surprise anyone, but nineteen times?

    Would be nice if the poppy was a simple reminder of the millions of lives wasted in war instead of making it into some ridiculous jingoistic spectacle.

    Trevor Phillips probably has more experience in this area than most, and he says it's already well past the point of being of value, and is now simply a form of tokenism that is detracting from other attempts to investigate and resolve any issues found.

    I guess you could argue that footballers kneeling is a pointless platitude at this point, so the alternative would be direct action for change. But when there were mass protests, riots and the tearing down of statues, the pearl-clutchers didn't like that either. Some people think racism will magically go away if we stop making a fuss about it but a riot is the language of the unheard.

    So they are either getting stopped because the police think they may get a bust or the police are just picking on them because of their ethnicity.

    Knife and gun crime in London is a growing thing, stopping stop and search claiming it's racist won't help reduce that.
