Come on, you'll have to do better than that:
"Traditionally, the police have tried to protect the public by arresting
criminals. In London, however, the Met is experimenting with a radical
new approach.
Arresting victims, instead.
That, at least, is all I can conclude from watching an extraordinary
piece of smartphone footage, filmed in London last Saturday. In the
footage, a man wearing a kippah – a Jewish skullcap – is stopped by Met
officers in the vicinity of pro-Palestinian marchers. He is then warned
that, if he refuses to vacate the scene, he will be arrested – for
“causing a breach of the peace”. How?
By being “quite openly Jewish”.
In the words of the officers, the “presence” of this “openly Jewish”
man risks “antagonising a large group of people”. And the police “can’t
deal with all of them if they attack you”.
Let me see if I’ve understood this apparent line of thinking correctly.
These pro-Palestinian marchers are such fanatical racists that, at the
mere sight of someone Jewish, they may turn violent. Trying to arrest
these violent racists, however, would be awfully difficult. So, to save
themselves the trouble, the police would rather arrest the violent
racists’ prospective victim.
I’ve no doubt that this strategy is simpler and more convenient. For
some reason, though, I’m struggling to imagine the police trying it
with any other ethnic group. Say there were a march by thousands of
white skinheads. Would the police threaten to arrest an innocent
passerby for being “openly Muslim”, or “openly black”?
In response to public outcry over the footage, the Met has now
apologised for the use of the term “openly Jewish”. It still doesn’t
seem to have grasped, however, that the biggest problem wasn’t the
language. It was the suggestion that the blame for breaching the peace
lies not with the mob, but with the mob’s target."
