According to people who were there and if you listen to the video attentively you will understand the guy broke a law by not paying the train fare, and when the police approached him, he should have obeyed and lay on the ground so he can be cuffed which is standard procedure instead he resisted being cuffed and offered to follow them , did he actually think he is still in nigeria?

The British transport police asked him to lay down so he can be cuffed but he resisted and by not being cuffed he posed a threat to them and himself thereby resulting to the video we just saw. Nigerians need to realise that each country has its own law even here in naija you no fit do that to a police officer, it's either you lose a body part or you lose your life.

I watched the video and to be fair, the guy disobeyed and held his ground instead of following them to know why he is being frisked ..


I wish you could see how a group of policemen used *talk true* baton and the butt of a gun to beat craze comot for one hawker today ..

..but then, how are we sure he is a Nigerian

Just read what you wrote and how you keep contradicting yourself......... just to argue for argument sake!

Excuzeme:


Ofcourse, that never happened, he was "resisting arrest"! ...unfortunately, we live in an era of 'phone-to-video'.




We all saw the Video and we know he never touched the officers....yet he is being charged for Assault and occasioning bodily harm (to the officers!)

See, it sis not only Naija Police that can lie, British Police sef too lie against darky people!

He just needs to get a good Lawyer and counter-sue them so that both cases are heard simultaneously.
Video evidence is there.

adeyinka1985:
This is not racism or maltreatment of a Nigerian
1. In the UK you cannot say whether or not you are handcuffed. Handcuffing protects the officers from spontaneous attacks.
2. He was aggressive, confrontational and loud. If a white man acted in the same way he would have been subject to the same [s]treatment. P.S. It took three officers to handcuff him
3. He undermined their authority in public place
4. Refusing arrest is a crime thus his ITK made him a criminal

In conclusion black people should stop playing the racecard. If the colour of your skin is your only claim to fame you should submit to the oppressions of your race and do so quietly[/s]

ttmacoy:
You cannot base your argument on the video as it was obviously not the start of the situation.

Some eye witness accounts said they were struggling earlier and one of the officers fell down. Now I agree he did not hit the officer but that's what can happen when you are resisting arrest, any small thing out of the struggle can be attributed to being violent and body harm to the officers.

Before the police would have been called he must have been arguing with train staff about not paying a fine. If he was a fare dodger as stated then he should have calmly accepted the 20 pound fine, but he probably tried to do the Nigerian agboju and it escalated to that point.

Excuzeme:



He was loud, Yes....

but Aggressive? Confrontational?
likely you dont even know the meaning of those words sef!

Demented self-hater!

Excuzeme:


Maybe something happened not cuaght on video...CCTV will show that one.

But you have made a lot of "suppositions" ...and used it to crucify the man!

Its either it happened, ...or it didn't happen. It can be "May be" it happened.

Please stop being silly!

By asking you for your "I.D", the Cop has already given you a reason for Stopping you.... even without you asking!
That is good Policing.

Now imagine if you were just taking a walk and he shouted "Lie down,..Lie down,...l say lie down.."
I am sure the first word that will come out of your mouth is "Officer, WHY"?
That is you asking for a "reason".


It is natural.... except one has become a human being without any shred of Dignity...... which might be a reflections of one's position in the "food chain".

tpascal:
Too bad. The worst of it we blacks are not ready to help ourselves.
Injury to one should be injury to all.
We have to wake up and challenge racism.

Siena:


I have no issues sticking up for anyone, regardless of race IF there is something to actually defend. In this case, there was none.

Whatever came this guy's way, whatever indignities he suffered were as a result of his attitude. Resisting arrest IS an offense, regardless of why you are being arrested.

This was NOT a racist issue. This guy failed to purchase a valid ticket, failed to pay the fine, disobeyed direct instruction from a police officer, resisted arrest. What exactly are you defending? You need to see Caucasian's resisting arrest for what was originally a minor offense. They get treated even worse than this guy did, some end up with black eyes. Is this racism too?

This guy was the architect of his own misfortune.
