UK PÖLICE STATE : why police is targeting middle classes

[BrilloPad]

Have you gelled your mohican today and ironed your Billy Bragg T-shirt ?

I voted Tory at every election - including 1997. that is 6 since I was eligible to vote.

I stand by my comments in my original post.

The middle classes i.e genrally working and having a fixed abode are an easy revenue stream as well, no point in going after some council scally who hasn't got 2 beans to rub together when you can hit people who have money and can be traced easily.

Exactly.

[Board Game Geek]

The problem with blaming the middle classes for apathy (and implying that other classes by virtue are more proactive), is that, that in itself is a wrong supposition.

Otherwise, we'd see hordes of working classes (and upper classes for that matter) converging on Downing Street calling for a revolution.

The fact that we see neither, doesn't lend credence to your belief.

I think you'll find that your gripe about the middle classes doing nothing, unless it affects them, is more widespread than just limited to one particular class.

But by all means, have a dig at the middle classes if it makes you feel better.

Oh dear, the well-to-do middle class people are bitching and whining again because the Police won't let them drive their BMWs down the motorway at 120mph

Try being black for a bit - then you'll understand what Police harassment is.

As Chris Rock says: "Not one of you white people would change places with me - and I'm RICH!"

Yup. I suspect few people would want to be anyone else, whatever colour each of them may be.

I want to be something other than middle class white English able bodied hetrosexual. At least while I live in London. Because I am fed up being a minority.

Which is the most likely cause?
Either :

• Blacks are targeted because they commit a disproportionate amount of crime
  
• Blacks are targeted because the Police force is institutionally racist

Blacks are targeted because a disproportionate amount are middle class?

Where's the "I don't believe they are targeted!" option?
