Sorry, it's another 'racist' one...

A "racist" e-mail has resulted in 100 Hertfordshire police officers and civilian staff being disciplined.

And for balance:

I think I know the video / picture in question, chap with railing through the neck, jumped over a wall, got impaled... until now I've never considered it could be racist in any way and even with the "don't run from the police" title I still can't. Offensive yes, a bit sick for sure but racist?

Perhaps the text that went along with it made it racist but you would have expected that to be pointed out in the articles I've linked to.

Had it been a Chinese chap or a Hispanic would there still have been the same reaction?

Best add this to "post 18" with my others Imi

Why oh why? This was in no way racist. He WAS running from the police?!?!?!?!?

Imi, what are your fair and balanced views on this mate?

I thought that particular picture/email was shown to be a fake on snoop or whatever it's called.

snoop or whatever it's called.

Snuff.

Snuff.

The website is called snuff? No I don't think it is.

Snuff pictures and snuff movies, thats what they are called I thought thats what you meant, my error.

Snuff.

I think she did mean Snoop.

From what I read in those articles, I would not class that as racist. It's a gross over-reaction IMO.

http://www.snopes.com

I think this is a video but restrictions in the office mean I can't hunt it down.

Snuff pictures and snuff movies, thats what it is called when it is fake, It's just your post did not mention anything about a website.

I said it was shown to be a fake on 'snoop' or whatever the website is called which shows up emails/pictures to be fakes. Ok?

Snuff pictures and snuff movies. I thought thats what you meant

:rlol: Thats the funniest thing ive heard all day!! lol, snuff movies are movies showing people getting killed for real for the enjoyment of sick individuals!

Anyways back on topic, I don't think it was racist, sick maybe.

I said it was shown to be a fake on 'snoop' or whatever the website is called which shows up emails/pictures to be fakes. Ok?

I edited my previous post as was distracted and misread it but you were to quick. Ok

If it had been a white guy there would have been no questions asked. To be honest I've seen that video and it's horrific!!.

Oh and if it was fake it would take some doing to make a dummy run across a motorway and for his head to land exactly on a spike form the same camera angle.

Either way it's another way of causing shit between races for no apparent reason. I mean who gives a shit about skin colour?

H.

WTF ??, how can any of that write up be seen as racist ?, thats crazy.

My gob is smacked once again.

This is my point - I've seen the vid / pictures and never once thought "crikey look at that black chap on the fence" - it's just another human in my eyes, the same as all the others in the world, sadly the media / society / organisations seem keen to try and force us to think in a racist way in order to stop racism... it's all very odd.

So to summarise, it's ok to forward a video of someone being decapitated, as long as that person is white

It's a fake anyway so they're even more stupid than that.

Where's Jake when you need him, he revealed the link to snopes originally I think.

(* Sits down, grabs some .. and a and waits for Imi - to come up with some attempt to make out that this -in some way- is racist. *)

I swear that looks fake, look at his facial expression, surely he would have been screaming on the way down.
