It's racial. How can a guy in a cast be trying to case a shop?

Why should they handcuff someone during questioning? Bullshit if you ask me - it was definitely racial.
Let them handcuff Gerrard and Carragher that way first. angry


Definately and there is just no justification for it, They won't dare try it to British Black Footballers. Funny enough, if he was on the wrong side of the law, the police would have recognised him straight away. Why they didn't recognise him first time buffles me.

Imagine what would have happened if it was an ordinary citizen like me or you? nxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxa

I do man, but that thing in me just feel they over reacted based on what the fellas looked like

Spate of robberies in Chesire my ass!

If i was some white middle aged looking aristocrat with a classy lady by my side, looking in the mirror of a jeweller at Knutsford, will i nicked?

NAH!

If they knew it was Anichebe, they prolly wont jump on them straightaway, but the sensors in them triggered bleeping NIGGAS, GET EM

My family friend's boy who is only ten was followed as he walked on the street in London by two police men, the little boy got scared, ran, they followed him, stopped him and started questioning him - can you imagine - a ten year old??

It's hard being black out there. Come back to Naija where your respect will be fully guaranteed.

aloy.emeka, yes o, some years ago when Ariel Sharon was PM of Israel and there was a percieved wave of anti-semitism in France, the man called on all Jews in France to come back to Israel and the French govt. was pissssssed. They had to condemn the man. For African man, wetin he fit do than to stay kampe and swallow the maltreatment. Can't you see what goes on in China or other parts of Europe to blacks.

Re: Police Arrest Black Footballer Victor Anichebe For "window Shopping Jewellery" by JustGood(m): 11:28am On Mar 13, 2009
Its the worst thing to be a black man in UK (especially scotland) and some parts of America.

The police would have immediately ascertained Anichebe's identity yet he was arrested and taken to the police station. It says a lot.

Is any black man mad enough to trust the police in the UK?

You guys are painting a false picture here.

I will defend the UK cos I'm from the UK.

I have travelled extensively to almost all continents and the UK is the most tolerant country to live in.

If you dress like a hoodie or chav and have a bad attitude or a complex, what the hell do you expect?

Before yarning dust, guys should name a more tolerant country outside Black Africa.

vey wrong comparison. The Nigeria Police just dont know how to treat human beings. Its different from the british Police who treat you different simply because of the colour of your skin.

I don't think it's a wrong comparison.One would expect to be safe with his own kith & kin but alas this is not the case.U don't expect to b harrased everyday by the police in the UK,i blv Anichebe's case is a one-off, though unfortunate is not a regular feature of the UK police.

You still dont get it? It's completely different - Nigeria Police are just incompetetent and a reflection of the Nigerian rot. The Police in the UK only treat you that way if you're black. . . you still dont get it?

Was Gerard falsely arrested? Was Bellamy falsely arrested?

This was not just about a wrongful arrest. It's easy to work out that the police would have known Anichebe as soon as they spoke with him at the point when they accosted him and his pal. . . they still got them to the police station.

Some people dont realise that the police is a reflection of the society (not always totally) and if the society is racist, there will be racist police officers as well. there are officers who will harrass a black guy and go away to have a laugh about how scared the guy was and such things. I know what I'm saying but there's no need to go into too much here

mmmmmmmm is that really true? some white boys get worse deal from the police as you must know.

there are tribalist police in nigeria too. if you were a british police knowing how most black boys his age behave what would you do? why do some of you always call white people racist whereas you inflict worse prejudice on your own kind in the name tribal or ethnic differences.

most of us need to heed what john howard of australia said to the moslem brigade
"If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted."

there are laws of the land. if you choose to behave suspiciously any where in this land the law enforcement agents have rights to question you. if we dont like it the airports are open 24/7.

First off, the fact that you quote the well known racist John Howard tells me something

Could you answer the question Anichebe put to the officers please:
I asked the officers if they would have taken the action they did had I been white rather than black


Does the fact that there are tribalist within the Nigeria Police make it right for the British Police to be racist na wa o

So if Anichebe was white, would he have got the same deal for window shopping?

you bet he would. you know very well people who rob those types of shops always do window shopping before doing the robbery. you dont know how to police the streets better than the police so stop complaining. we get more harased by the nigerian police than this. it is not the end of the world.

i worked in the west end for 18yrs. i saw white peole being stop and searched almost weekly. why must seperate laws be put in place for black people and nigerians for that matter?

This coming even after the police have issued an apology and admitted that the cuffing and stuff was unnecessary 

No wonder they say we will never truly be liberated. We must always find a way to escuse the inexcusable as long as it is a black man that is the victim.

you know the politically correct race money money making lobby will push any button and sadly in this day and age you have to apologize for calling a black man black. so apology is not admission of guilt.

i shall leave you to continue indulging yourself. have a good weekend

I have no problem with them going for whitey or mulatos, but the problem is how they treat the babes, meanwhile they would have maltreated some sisters if they ever have one, i guess it is all about inferiority.
