When I was 18/19 my friends and I were into smoking weed as a lot of young lads are. We would drive around in our cars, meet up in carparks or go into the hills etc. or sometimes just pull up to the side of the road on a quiet street. One night at like 3am I was with my friend sharing a joint in my car, and a police van pulled up along side us. The officers took one look at us, two white kids in Rugby jersey's, and said "Oh I'm sorry lads, I was just checking what was going on here?" We of course told the truth, we were two old mates just catching up. That was good enough for them and they left us alone. A few months later I was with another friend who is black. We were in his car which was a lot nicer than mine. It was much earlier, perhaps 9pm and still light out. We had no weed or paraphernalia on us, but we were immediately taken out of the car, breathalysed, pockets searched, car searched, and questioned rigorously about what we were doing. I will never forget the difference between those two encounters.
I had a friend in the U.S. who was riding with some friends when they got pulled over because his friend was speeding. My friend was the only black guy in the car and wasn’t even driving and yet he was the only one who got pulled out of the car and searched.
Would love to see and read more about the police from a UK perspective. I feel like it's all very US centric online and I want to know about the issues in my own country so I can help in some way.
Agree we don't understand but I've had my so-called civil rights violated and I can confirm that is indeed the worst feeling in the world. It's like being totally outcast socially and it takes all your hope away. I was lucky to win my case but I never forgot what it was like to feel so helpless and doomed.
I once got arrested for racial abuse that I didn't do. Demanded trail by jury, they dropped the case the day I was due to appear in court. Met my accuser in a pub months later, he apologised, said he was drunk and got me mixed up with someone else. What an arsehole! Nicholas was his name. Nobody needs undeserved police custody and pending court.
Thank you for sharing your experience. People are always quick to dismiss this issue and assume that the person assaulted was at fault, or that they "resisted", when in reality it's the police department that is mainly corrupt and full of racists. They abuse their power and don't even want to give you a reason for why they're assaulting you. Racial profiling is a major problem too.
@@drasta100 Yes, some auditors can be very aggressive and challenging. This guy is much more open and honest in the way he goes about it. I prefer his approach; it’s as simple as that.
This video should be shown as part of police training. It really highlights the issue of racism in the way that policing is carried out in this country.
Wouldn't change anything .racism is something implanted in their beliefs and how they were raise . ( Or how they become do to the fact they are being expose by it daily by their colleagues ) Plus it's a question of over powerment . Some cops don't realize & may think and believe they not racist but the fact over taken advantage of people ( which is the majority of times 80/100 percent people of color ) makes itself racism . because it targeting a specific group of people . ( People usually immigrants with no knowledge of the law and people in poor situations without the voice to speak for themselves nor without any power .
Plus double factor even people of color Plot & do it to their own race . Cause once again of the fact being witness of the police practices to people of color on a daily notice . #2 the sense they have to proof themselves and fit in .#3 they can't really do it to whites because of the immediate backlash they will receive from they superiors and the systematic implacement of the judicial system of systematic racism .
Im Canadian (our cops are bad too, but it is less publicly known about), white and I don't drive. So I haven't experienced any of this. I have only ever heard about police brutality online from the perspective of the United States. In Canada black boys have been murdered by white boys and were slandered by the media as a 18 or 20 year old black gang member. Who was killed because they were in a drug deal gone wrong. In reality this kid was just breaking up a fight and got stabbed because of it. I believe stop and frisk is not allowed anymore in the states and if it were I am shocked there isn't more outrage there for that. Stop and frisk without any evidence is disgusting. I am a nursing student doing a project on Racism and this helped a lot. Thank you for sharing your story!
Not sure where in Canada you're from, but in my experience growing up in Winnipeg as a white female from a middle class family, I was no stranger to racism and inequality of treatment by police and other authority figures. I knew from a very young age that my indigenous friends had to leave their bags and the front of the store and I didn't, I knew that I could get out of a speeding ticket on a good day and my friends of black or indigenous background can't. I always knew and always hated it but to say it's not talked about in my opinion is false, it's taught to us, ingrained in us, it's talked about, just not from a place of empathy and care for human lives.😢
I am also Canadian, ever since Canada became an established state, the RCMP have been mistreating indigenous peoples forever. Yes, we cannot change colonization, but we can change how we treat people nowadays the RCMP are severely lacking in that.
As an American, I'm...so deeply saddened that at the end of the day? The US and the UK are so alike in so many truly messed up ways - I would have thought that without guns, maybe their police would be less likely to kill people? But no. It's just the same: "I can't breathe"... and no one bats an eyelash as young, black boys are brutally murdered in the streets. I'm so sorry to know it's just as bad there, as it is here. We, as humans, have a long ways to go, yet.
Is it really that hard to think "if I were this person, how would I feel in this situation, what's a fair way to be treated?" Be it a police officer thinking about how he's treating a *potential* suspect (someone who hasn't done anything wrong) to even stupid things like "how should I treat this fast food employee" since in America, some people will threaten violence or pull out a firearm because someone forgot to add pickles to a burger(this is not hyperbole, it actually happens) Treating a human like a human seems to be a saintly act these days... This comment isn't to downplay police racism... Just to point out that it shouldn't be hard to see another person as *human* and treat them as such...
To play devil's advocate here, for people born into families where white supremacy is a problem, like in Evangelical Christian homes and areas, growing out of racist cultural beliefs, means potentially losing friends and family. It's one of the things that keep people trapped. But racist beliefs prevent people making new friends. So it can be hard for people fed a diet of "Fox News" or "The Daily Mail" in the UK to not see brown skinned people as dangerous threats. So the people that are helped to grow beyond their earlier racist pasts, have done something hard, and should be accepted, even if they have a slip up or use the language or phases drummed into them, that they haven't grown out of yet. Vaush and also the Muckrake Podcast and here in the UK, Novara Media are entertaining, great news sources and have been effective at deradicalising people out of racism.
In the 21st century everyone runs their life in statistics. In work, life and social. It's not surprising that police officers see statics like 80% of criminal will be black it's hardly a surprise and in all honestly stupid of police to treat everyone exactly the same.
That’s not how police are trained though. They are taught that they must be respected automatically and everyone is a suspect. It’s a us versus them mentality instilled in them.
@@nooneisrightallthetime-zv7hs trained they must be respected? I seriously never thought of it like that, even as a kid I didn't trust or respect the police because I was taught "they're the good guys, or they're owed you're respect" I was taught (by family n friends) "don't EVER involve police for anything, don't ever tell them anything about anything, unless someone is robbed, hurt or something that's terrible, always tell them "I didn't really see anything, I'm not sure, I was thinking about schoolwork" etc.. as a kid.. and the respect they get is the same as anyone else who might have a pistol.. ignore them, they'll ignore you Granted I grew up in a large city (or of the top 10-20 largest US metro areas) That their pistol gets respect (in the "every gun is given respect and treated loaded etc and everyone with one is given that "person possessing firearm respect (same as I would when hunting or at range)" but that until that particular officer earns it, he gets "random regular person respect " at best, and usually to treat them with suspicion, as even at 10, I'd had more bad encounters with police than good "oh group of kids playing basketball at park, better annoy them and ask if they're in a gang, or that the courts reserved (when no one else is around) " type of interactions... I really am either that nieve, or was taught what people would riot about later, that the police think "I'm better than you because I'm police, and whatever I do is 1,000,000% justified" Attitude... But I'm also American so... It could be different if I was born British, or of a different race, or not having English spoken as one of my primary languages Because a gun and a title/job does not earn you respect IMO But the police are also 50% the same race as me, and 200% the amount of dbag as me at my worst IMO
I hear this guy so much. I find the UK such a weird contradiction. London is by far the richest city in the UK no cap but I've felt the most unsafe in the poorer neighbourhoods than in cities like Birmingham or Manchester as a black person. Even the style of policing is different.
Good point you made. Different Cities/ areas have different styles of policing. I felt more stress and had more occasional non friendly contact with the police when living in London but when I lived in Coventry for 3 years, I never had any contact with police, and it was far less stressful than London.
I’ve come to feel that 3 types of people join the police. People who genuinely want to do their best to protect, serve, help and change the institution from within, those who want a job, and those who actively want power and legal protection to oppress and abuse others. Unfortunately it seems the first group gets hounded out pretty quickly, and the second group starts to drift real close to the third after a bit of time in that culture that rewards them… Thanks for sharing, I’m in the UK but not London, and my appearance, bearing and accent have kept me from any trouble. It’s harrowing to learn about what’s happening to our fellow man, but it’s important we know to try and do what we can to prevent it.
Cops can make any excuse they want at anytime. I love the "it smells like drugs. Or it smells like alcohol" and "your eyes look droopy and your walking strange" literally anything they can make up and use as an excuse to stop and search someone
Why doesn't this have more views??? What is the RU-vid algorithm doing when it comes to important videos that spread awareness and expose injustices???
I was thinking the same thing. It's a brilliant video on an important topic. I guess videos on drugs, guns, and other crime stuff is more exciting for most.
I was wondering the same thing too. I was watching the video in the middle of the night (insomnia) and I had to open my eyes and confirm those numbers. I was expecting over a million. Alas.
I lived in London for 30 years and in America for the last 20 years. I am very pro police when they behave professionally, and I don't have a criminal record. London - I remember to this day being lined up with my friends, facing a wall being searched for no reason (under the Sus laws) after playing football in the Herne Hill area of south London. I don't remember many incidents while driving connected to the police because I used to take the bus/ train to and from work. There were riots in London I remember because of the 'stop upon suspicion' laws at the time. America - Many prisons are privately owned and the powers that be wanting to fill them up with as many brothers as possible. A traffic stop in America can easily lead to death or being taken to jail depending on the officer who could be professional or be on a power trip with a badge/ gun. I have had many negative experiences with traffic police over here. Basically, racial profiling is very common and has created the term ' driving while black'.
@@NithinJune Yes I am most definitely pro police because we need law and order in any country. We need the law to be enforced in a non-biased fair way and that is the problem. some police are fair and do a good job and some do not. I'm not going to say all police are bad because I would be lying but at the same time there are bad cops around who are protected by the system. I'm actually wondering if some undercover members or supporters of the BNP/ National Front can become a policeman?
with those witnesses you should have made a private prosecution against the officer... that would totally embarass the CPS and got you justice... (note: judges might throw the case out they are a problem too)
I don't even know what "dressed like a criminal" is supposed to mean. I can only guess that it means he was wearing clothes. Which I'm sure most criminals do. But then again, so does everyone else.
it means wearing the clothes that are fashionable with black teenagers. White teenagers wearing varying fashions don't get stopped and searched anyway near as often. My teenage Goth/ Metal offspring in London never gets sopped. Half the boys she goes to school do all the time.
I’m black and I’ve never been stopped and searched but it’s quite sad in our community that’s some people genuinely think it’s inevitable to happen when it shouldn’t br
All this stuff happened to me my whole childhood and I’m white until you ask my name didn’t stop cops from “offering me a ride home” all the time and of course it’s not an offer and they have to search you before you get in and you’re probably not going home
@@nothanks9503 WRONG , WRONG , WRONG . How many stories do you hear of White boys being confronted like this by police officers ? It does not happen because if it did there would be huge public outrage . The British police are evil and they need to clear house and get their $hit together .
this is also a self fulfilling prophecy. If you treat a group of people like that, you put people in lists that prevent them from getting jobs, you have them harassed and accused of crimes by the state, is it surprising if they turn to crime?
the irony is no one will believe their wonky slander nonsense they used to steal my devices in fact it will only make their pea nests smaller when looking at My Women.
Nice work my brother massive respect.. I've recently had a nightmare with an Asian cop in Essex who refused to charge an Asian suspect for deliberately running me over in Broad daylight. I've had to file complaints and victims right to review to try and get any justice the case continues.... keep up the good work 👍 if only we would come together in unity.

It’s interesting how policing policies and practices throughout the African diaspora are parallel/similar worldwide. His experiences are mirrored and hauntingly familiar though he is on the other side of the world. He seems to be doing great work. I would love to meet him and compare stories.
The Black Eyed Peas sum it up best "But if you only have love for your own race Then you only leave space to discriminate And to discriminate only generates hate And when you hate, then you're bound to get irate, yeah"
some people may never know. some people don't think outside themselves. dealing with the local authorities feel like a person is one moment away from death.
You are an inspiration, Mr Lewis ! I myself am, what would now be regarded as an 'Old' white guy, but I have no doubt that people from within the Black comunity routinely face discrimination from the police in general, and I think that's all part and parcel of the lack of respect exibited by far too many police officers toards prety much all members of the public, most of them don't even appear to have the requsite skills to be able to approach members of the public in anything resembling a professional maner, so I'm quite sure that we can safely say that many of those who are serving as police officers right now, are simply not fit nor proper people to be doing the job. So it's really great to see you doing something positive about all of this. Therefore, I take my hat off to you. Bravo !
Unless the child is literally charged with murder they should NEVER be stripped searched. And never ever without a lawyer present. It’s state sponsored child sexual assault by another name.
Had my fingerprints collected by police when I was about 10 years old, I was playing outside with my brother and white friend around my estate, Hamstead road, Camden. Two officers collected my brother and my fingerprints and not my friends. We had no idea what was going on at the time, and we didn't even tell our parents when we got home because we were taught that the police were good and heroes. We are of caribbean heritage. Only realised the problem when I got a lot older. Our parents never talked about racism with us and taught us to always respect everyone. I learned through my own experiences unfortunately and was not really prepared for it.
Very happy that you have a platform to speak on this. Police racism is reinforced by racism coming from everywhere, including this comment section. Every educated person knows crime rates are skewed because of over policing and historical socioeconomic disadvantages, but people just want to talk smack to put people down on the basis of race.
No accountability for actions based on a persons race… good for you. That attitude is promoting stabbings gangs and drug dealing. You’re right Police should just ignore them and let them do what they want because they’re black.
I'm a white guy, and I was strip searched by the police when I was 18 and arrested for cannabis possession. It was very traumatic and it took me a long time to recover. Police should not be traumatising people with strip searches, especially children. A pat down on the clothing should be enough to check for weapons, but only there's a valid reason, not simply because of police seeing a black or minority person. What's worse is that the police have decriminalised rape and sexual assaults, but think it's okay to arrest or search people for drugs. We should all have freedom in this country, and be able to walk or drive without being afraid of being stopped and searched.
I commend this young man for giving an insight into his experience with the Police. Why is it that with the power that Police hold to uphold the law, they are able to police themselves if incidences happen and complaints are made about an officers misconduct. This is where the mistrust begins and then they going into self righteousness mode and they begin to act like bullies. For me, it seems as if across the globe, most of the police sing from the same hymn sheet of not upholding the law but their interpretation of it. The amount of times that you hear offices in videos giving their so called account of what happened as opposed to the body cam video that shows exactly what really happened. I like the work that he is doing to help repair the fractured relationship between police and the public.
This was an accurate description of the Met police after experiencing stop and search as a schoolboy. However, it is not just the Met Police; it's also the Kent Police, which is why I chose to leave the UK and live in Europe. That is not to say where I live today does not have racial issues, but I've never experienced racism elsewhere in the world like I have in the UK
I don't understand the point of the video... I'm skimming through it to see keypoints but I'm failing to understand what the issue is? I'm a black male.. late 20s in my early teens I was stopped and searched several times. I live in east London never committed any crimes, used to dress like a rug rat hoodlum, never had a bad attitude, never been assaulted by police just doing their job, in my early 20s I was stopped several times by police whilst driving, I was stopped by armed police, undercover, petrol, bully van you name it... never had any issues or fail play there.. in my late 20s now I don't get stopped by police, I dress maturely, act maturely and ultimately attain the same attitude as I did before, only now i UNDERSTAND profiling without the racial attached to it. you guys figure it out for yourselves, dress like a clown act like a clown the circus will follow you.
Sadly some people are too emotional, can’t think logically. This guys whole personality is built around him being a victim. He did this to himself not police. At the end of the day when his son gets stabbed by some youth that could’ve been prevented by a search it’ll be his own fault
Being 70, lifelong learning, understanding, observation, experience and re-examination 247 365. For the last 35 to 40 years this 'British Isles' has morphed from a failing democracy into what I call 'Velvet Fascism'. Legalised crime, corruption (the quid pro quo rule) and the secrecy of professional liars in the private and public domain, and yet incredibly created and acted out in full view with impunity thereby anaesthetising the majority of an innocently ignorant population into an apathetic bliss. The pure roots of this began in the postwar (ww2) era, and now the hubris of certainty and stability prophesied by the 'leadership' of those early days has begun to eat away from within. Love always
How about we just let criminals do whatever they want? That’s a great idea. What should we tell the parents of the hundreds of children who are being murdered every year? “Sorry your son’s dead, but at least nobody was offended”..? How about the next time police are attending a group of lads with machetes, what’s the solution? Maybe you should go instead mate and sort it out. I’m sure it will end well. Or maybe go to a different neighbourhood with high knife crime, walk the street at night there, see how safe you are…. Honestly. Wake up. There definitely will be learning points in this interview, however there seems to be a lot of one sided arguments spoken from a point of view that doesn’t have any real solutions, just complaining.
@@andersbylund2753 The Sweden has 80% women cops claim, is a sign of racist propaganda brain rot. The only source I found was a reddit article of a white supremacist video showing, 3 Swedish women police officers struggling to arrest a Muslim immigrant. White supremacists like posting videos showing black people doing crimes, because it gives the false idea that black people as a group are violent criminals. That's why Fox News viewers shoot black teenagers, they're terrified of brown skinned people, because they're repeatedly shown videos that terrify them. It's so sad.
There is a very simple way to stop police from abusing the stop and search and traffic stops. Force them to specify the exact reason for the stop on their bodycam before they conduct the stop or approach the subject of the stop. Then they are only allowed to charge the person for that reason and not anything else. If someone is stopped for suspected knife carrying, then they cannot be held for small amounts of drugs or bold tyres on their car. I hope we can promote this idea into law.
@@spiralrose yes, fruit of the poisonous tree...If a police officer searches my home illegally and finds evidence of a crime, courts refuse to admit not only that evidence but evidence found legally if it was ultimately derived from the search. This doctrine is known as the “fruit of the poisonous tree.”
The algorithm started recommending these Insider videos a few days ago. The ones they've recommended have 900k views and more. This one has 77k views. Not shocking.
Racists don't like being told that racism exists, that's why the dislikes and also the comments about, "blacks are violent criminals, that's why the police target them". Also racism is flat out wrong, stupid, and regressive, not "divisive" or a noble fight against "wokeness" or "cancel culture".
And when they murder, the police should get prison for life with no parole. Also if there's no evidence, because they wipe the CCTV footage in the cells, then everyone at that station at the time should get found guilty of tampering with a murder investigation, and lose their jobs. It's better to hold the threat of collective punishment for police departments that kill people, than to have the current system, where murdering cops go free from lack of evidence.
Which would you rather? An "institutionally racist" police force that actively and successfully pursued criminals without fear or favour, regardless of what community they came from? Or a police force that focussed on not being "institutionally racist" that focussed on community relations? I know that people will argue it isn't either or, and that a police force that wasn't "institutionally racist" would be more successful at investigating and prosecuting crime. But these are the same people that argue against stop and search, who supported BLM, complain about any law to increase public order and who supported marches (in the UK!) to defund the police. If "institutionally racist" means that the police focus on communities from which crime emanates, I don't give a hoot. I don't even give that much of a hoot if there are individual instances of prejudice in the police force (though they should be cracked down on). The police force has a core task: public order and the reduction of crime. Everything else is secondary.
I understand the sentiment and realities of the issues we face but our people need to stop committing crimes at the levels that mean many of us law abiding people of same shade are not tarred with the same brush. In the same breath, our people only remember they are black when they face some form of bigotry and reality bites. When they're with the "in" crowd, they ignore their people's social issues. No offence, therapy talk is utter garbage, the Black family should revert to the traditional family structure, father - mother- two parent household not this state orchestrated, incentivised single-mother households with women raising boys they can't control 🤯🤯🤯 Enough of the excuses, we must do our part as a people😡😡😡
West Mercia police sexually assaulted and assaulted a female. They declined her medical treatment and assessment by medical staff and SARC. She was treated so inhumane. One officer was really opposed to the mistreatment, we have a statement. Whilst detained she was denied toiletries, running water to wash and flush the toilet,food and medical care for her seizures and FND. She was spoken to disgustingly and disregarded. She was detained without a solicitor for 15.5 hours. They then slammed a charge of perverting the course of justice. She has scars from what they did to her- two officers
It's so bad when police abuse the public. It's not surprising that the police do this, but the trauma from injustice by authorities, really shakes people to their core.
This was super hard to watch..part of me wants to think that its only America thats affected by this and older societies have done better... Oppression is an evil force that is far reaching with fallout everywhere...Good will overcome in the end. May God Bless you all as a community. My heart goes out to you and this fight.❤️
That's very well put. It makes a person feel less than human. I have seen it first hand more than once and it's a very crushing experience that changes your world view. Every human should have the right feel comfortable in their own skin. Here in the states it's part of our constitutional 4th amendment rights.
I agree dehumanisation is a problem, but I often find these types of activists talk about police in a dehumanising way. This guy is fairly reasonable in his language, but a lot of the anti-police crowd are terrible for it. Before people pile in, I'm not particularly in favour of police having lots of power, but I do think they hold a valuable place in public life.
I agree with you Cedric their needs to be police accountability and reform. But if there were no police there would only be vigilante justice. Then instead of some people not getting due process such as black people absolutely no one would.
Searching for missing people, arresting tax avoiders, investigating burglaries, fraud, and sexual assaults, those are all valid reasons for policing. But hassling people for what drugs they use, when the police don't investigate rapes. That shows the police have their priorities wrong. So much reform is needed to turn the police into a service that protects the public, instead of just another gang who only care about protecting their pensions and the wealth hoarding ruling class.
I find police more suspicious than actual people, now I can say I've been stopped by police many not as many times as a black person but whenever I'm dressed in sportswear they give me funny looks they ask me questions like "why you hanging out in this area that's known for dealing drugs" when I'm literally waiting for the bus it's absurd and sad tbh its a shame not much has changed in decades.

Oh, sounds not so much different for any police anywhere - if you stand out in any way, they would make you sorry just because they can. And of course they will have a reason, even if it is a pile of BS. What they lose is trust - after such a treatment I'd ask them to speak to my lawyer if they asked me for time.
This is obviously a very difficult subject and i feel for anyone who has been targeted by police, who was completely innocent and was only targeted for the colour of their skin. However there is also another side of this. In London, the vast majority of young criminals are minorities. The gangs robbing people on scooters, the endless stabbings, muggings etc are mostly carried out by minorities. How are police supposed to tackle this without singling out minorities? There is also the problem that, since George Floyd, every black person who is arrested and resist, screams "i cant breathe" whilst being forceable arrested. There are certainly bad apples amongst the police, and the met are the least trusted force in the country. Living more rurally in the UK, it was young white boys around the council estates who were targeted by the police, and rightly so. We were typically up to no good on any given day. I guess because i am of the majority ethnicity in this country, i never thought about skin colour being a factor, but my social class was obviously a factor. This guy clearly has justified grievances, but i think he is only seeing one side of the issue.

Dont use reported statistics as a defence. Anybody that spends a moment to think about it will know it's not accurate. Another example, which is quite silly, would say you have one testicle. And one boob. As statistically people have one testicle and one breast capable of feeding offspring. Wooo, statistics! Such a great source!

Then they come to people ‘sheep’ and put this out to the heard. So you can go in you mind, those people, not all, but a majority, are bad. I was heavy on that myself, due to the news, more open conversations on social platforms and your more into the real world. Luckily I meet nice people from all races, all the time. The news and police are here to divide, so many articles I have read from people who are able to get in those high places are caucasian.

I agree with everything said here and it is a massive problem. The only thing im worried about is why would people want to join the police anymore due to being hated by so many people. There is going to be a shortage of workers as all of the good ones have left or didnt join in the first place
Perhaps that's because the police are too busy battering black people, whilst their own are being robbed!!!! Suck it up buttercup, RACISM AFFECTS EVERYONE!!!!!!! one way or another
@@Overyvonne black community’s filled with stabbings gangs and drugs. Police try to uphold the law reduce crime and make it civilised and safe. Black people call them racist for it..
Sorry but I'm not won over. The unprovoked assault was outrageous and the perpetrator should have been caught and jailed. As for the database. Sorry, but yeh if your family members are known gang members it stands to reason that you should be monitored. Not criminalised but monitored. If you're in an area that's ridden by crime and you fit the profile of a criminal - searches can make the area safer. Surely you want crime to be clamped down on in your area as it affects you? As long as the search is done non violently.
so telling and so sad that this is the least watch video in this series, yet may be the most important. im so sorry your story is not being heard by more people, you matter. we matter. our peoples trauma matters
This is how Policing under Capitalism is DESIGNED to work. Policing is there to protect private property and to suppress the political power/agency of the Labour classes. Capitalism needs unemployed to keep wages down and it needs unskilled labour to do the shitjobs for as little pay as possible. POLICE are there to keep those people oppressed, demoralised and in conflict with their own community. Police are used to prevent the working classes from unifying and gaining political power with which they can challenge the rule of capital/investment classes. Look at the First UK Police used to break up the Chartist Movement and how Thatcher used the Police to smash the Unions.
