'They acted like animals,' says officer attacked: UK

July 18 2008

A policeman who was bitten, kicked and punched by a 30-strong mob after asking a 15-year-old girl to pick up her litter today spoke of how he feared for his life and had to call for emergency backup...

The two male officers, aged 34 and 29, were on patrol in Northend, a pedestrianised street in the centre of Croydon, when they saw a teenage girl drop a piece of litter. They asked her to pick it up, which she did, but immediately dropped it on the ground again...

Officers believe five young women were involved at the start of the incident. They were joined by a number of men in their 30s and 40s. Investigators believe a number of older women also joined in. All of those involved were black.

Unfortunately, lot of blacks do have a reason. They hate whites. And it has nothing to do with anything whites have done to them in the past. Even if there had never been slavery and Jim Crow, the racial differences between whites and blacks, particularly the vast gap in intellectual abilities and behavior that lead to whites being far more successful and well-off than blacks, would lead, in any white-and-black society, to a decisive number of blacks seeing whites as their racially hostile oppressors.
