I mean, it's dreadful.

I think what it's trying to say and what it should be getting at is...

We're all different.

We all, you know, bring to a situation different life experiences.

Some of it is born of racism and some of it may be born of vulnerability.

We may have mental health problems.

We, you know, we've all got different experiences and we respond and react in different ways and we deal with different situations differently.

So use your common sense.

That's really, I think, what it's trying to say or should be saying, but it's dressed up in this language.

And I can understand now why police officers, A, are confused and B, they might overcorrect and deal with allegations of racism or race hate in a way that's perhaps over the top.

I think for some police officers, that's probably very true.

I think for others, they will respond more differently perhaps and they've got more confidence.

But I know back in 2020, I did a Radio 4 documentary looking at racism in the police.

And one of the things that's very striking is, and I think it's probably still the case, that black officers, black members of police staff and ethnic minorities broadly are overrepresented in the police misconduct system.

compared to their white counterparts.

And one of the reasons that was put forward for that, and there've been all sorts of reports to try and understand why, is because when a black or ethnic minority officer is accused of, you know, perhaps some minor misdemeanor or some minor misconduct, rather than deal with it informally,

Their managers and superiors are so scared of, you know, of the repercussions of that, that they say, right, well, I'll play everything by the book.

So they they escalate it into a misconduct process rather than.

You know, come in and have a chat.

This was not the way to pay.
