Police face racism scandal after black man records abuse

<snip>
Scotland Yard is facing a racism scandal after a black man used his mobile phone to record police officers subjecting him to a tirade of abuse in which he was told: "The problem with you is you will always be a nigger".

The recording, obtained by the Guardian, was made by the 21-year-old after he was stopped in his car, arrested and placed in a police van the day after last summer's riots.

The man, from Beckton, east London, said he was made to feel "like an animal" by police. He has also accused one officer of kneeling on his chest and strangling him.

In the recording, a police officer can be heard admitting he strangled the man because he was "a cunt". Moments later, another officer – identified by investigators as PC Alex MacFarlane – subjects the man to a succession of racist insults and adds: "You'll always have black skin. Don't hide behind your colour."

It's time to stamp out institutional racism across the globe. Who teaches the police to hate like this?

1. "Who teaches the police to hate like this?" I think for some of them, NOT all of

them, it's in them to begin with, and that's why they gravitate toward this type of work. Some of it's probably how they were raised and sometimes I think some of them are prewired for it, disposed toward it ...

And for others it's learned behavior.

And often I wonder how much stress causes some to react as they do, just fed up with some of the stuff they have to deal with and it gets to them, eventually.

Awful.
