You can argue about the relative merits of this incident all you like. For me, it looks like a case of over zealous policing while subduing a bam, who wouldn’t have come into contact with the police if she hadn’t been smashing up someone’s car while pished out of her tits.
An unfortunate incident certainly, but one that repeats itself hundreds of times over every weekend throughout the nation I would imagine.
The sickening aspect of this case for me is the way that certain bodies have engaged in cheap political point scoring off the back of what happened.
Liberty have chimed in with their usual useless, unhelpful remarks and local “race relations manager” Ruggie Johnson has been doing his best to turn the incident into Britain’s answer to the Rodney King affair.
Trying to engineer something like this into a race issue is downright despicable.
This was clearly not a racially motivated incident. The girl was not arrested for being black, she was arrested for being a bam.
Whether for his own ends of out of some misguided concern for the local community, Mr Johnson and other in positions of influence should really stop acting as legitimising advocates for people who engage in recreational crime simply as a matter of course.
Kids from poor communities have it tough, but most manage to get through the weekend without wrecking other folk’s stuff.
Or perhaps Mr Johnson plans to organise a million bam march, after which they can be addressed by Louis Farrabam?
