@Jasonel1970@LBC@ShelaghFogarty Exactly. By its nature, harassment is subjective. How a person feels is what separates harassment from acceptable/wanted attention.
@esox_lucius@suzanne_moore That last sentence is pretty ironic, given that’s exactly the opposite of what you are doing! My whole point is that we should all ‘establish facts first’ then draw conclusions. You have barely any facts, and have filled in the blanks with assumptions.
@esox_lucius@suzanne_moore And people need to be more honest with themselves about their own motivations. Anyone who gets more angry about injustice towards one group of people than another doesn’t care about justice. That goes for BLM and the bellends rioting last week.
@esox_lucius@suzanne_moore What makes you think I believe the Sikhs should be entitled to different rights??? Seriously, you make a lot of assumptions. My point is simply that we should all grow up a bit and use a bit more intelligence, rather than looking for the first answer we like the sound of
@esox_lucius@suzanne_moore They obviously need to look at why it happened. And if there is any suggestion that the police are being trained to behave like that then it’s obviously a massive issue. We aren’t ina position to draw that conclusion yet
@esox_lucius@suzanne_moore You obviously have no interest in knowing what actually happened or how to stop it happening again. Fine. But I’ll wait until I know more and use my own judgement rather than swallowing what some politicians and activists tell me to think.
@esox_lucius@suzanne_moore Why is not ‘probably’ more likely it was a failing of the copper? If it’s the training, why aren’t all coopers doing that? Where’s the body of evidence to indicate it’s the training?
@esox_lucius@suzanne_moore Top of my list would be that a) he was a shit copper b) he was responding to a report of racial assault so he obviously initially assumed the person reporting the crime is telling the truth. If you phone the police you expect them to initially assume you’re the victim
