Why not move on from what was reported in the 70s and look at what's happening now. Remember, there are a lot more Asian police officers now... are you accusing them of being racist too?

1. Lessons from history can be learnt; you don't move on from them
2. I don't think you understand the massively detrimental effect indiscriminate (ie nowt to do with suspicion) had at the time.
3. A lot more Asian police officers? Still rare as rocking horse sh*t (and I live in Greater Manchester where the police's record, by their own admission and widespread evidence, is hardly a bastion of race-neutral policing).
