The trouble with racism firstly it's completely WRONG and secondly people working in the public sectors give their colleagues a really bad name, just by association. Whoever you are out there who carries this deadly disease, you are passing it onto another generation and so the wheel goes round and round....STOP IT, STAMP IT OUT and LET IT BECOME EXTINCT!!!
A Scotland Yard police officer is to be charged with racially abusing a suspect during the summer riots, prosecutors said today.
There is now "sufficient evidence for a realistic
prospect of conviction" of Pc Alex MacFarlane, a Crown Prosecution
Service review concluded.
Lawyers studied footage
appearing to show the officer say to a 21-year-old black man: "The
problem with you is you will always be a n*****, yeah?".
There are now 11 separate allegations under investigation, involving 10 police officers.
Alison
Saunders, chief prosecutor for London, said she had advised the
Independent Police Complaints Commission to charge Pc MacFarlane despite
the CPS's decision not to charge him in January.
"In
March, the complainant's lawyers challenged that decision and, in
accordance with standard CPS practice, Grace Ononiwu, Deputy Chief Crown
Prosecutor for CPS London, directed that the case be reviewed by a more
senior lawyer who was not previously involved.
"That
review is now complete and the conclusion, based on all the evidence
now available, is that there is sufficient evidence for a realistic
prospect of conviction to charge Pc MacFarlane with a racially
aggravated public order offence contrary to Section 4a of the Public
Order Act 1986 and Section 31 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998.
"When
a review shows a previous decision not to prosecute is wrong, it is
open to the CPS to rectify that error by bringing new proceedings."
