Sister of man who died in police custody says Scotland is a racist country

in which two Indian nationals were detained.

"And the answer still today is pretty much zero. It hasn't changed that much in reality for the black or Asian minority ethnic community." "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Mr Bayoh, who have shown remarkable dignity and perseverance during their five-year wait for an inquiry into his death," he added.Mobile phone footage of police restraining Sheku Bayoh was obtained by BBC Panorama

According to police statements, when officers arrived he no longer had the knife, but failed to obey instructions to get down on the ground.

When my friends son was in School well living in Scotland and them they experienced as they were English unkindness treated differently by alot of Scots in Scotland.

I hear Sierra Leone is nice this time of year. They also tend to turn a blind eye to knife-wielding lunatics as well.

A violent male suffering from mental imparement through Drugs(excited delirium) who had been armed with a knife refuses Police Instructions & assaults officers. Force used to incapacitate & restrain him. Tragically he later dies from ? Drugs effect? Racism ?

Institutional racism in the Police Force certainly exists

I’d say there’s a difference between saying Scotland is racist vs there is well established racism and misogyny in the police forces of all of the UK

So being under the influence of having taken the drugs MDMA & Flakka, which was NOT mentioned in the interview nor the fact he was acting erratically while armed with a knife. He would not respond to requests from the officers? And this is the Police being racist

Here we fkn go again 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

An alcoholic racist more than like.

Why can't you BBC report exactly how the incident took place? You people will pay heavily for lying against the children of chukwu okike abiama, Biafrans.

Then leave. Her brother maybe should have tried behaving himself and maybe carrying weapons in our civilised country wasn't his best move.

They dont even like the English 🤷🏻

“Sister of a man” just say the names lol

U don’t say !

Sadly every country has the rac*sts in them

It's all very well saying Scotland is a racist country, but if he hasn't taken drugs then his 'altered behaviour' wouldn't have landed him in police custody? That's not racist - that's a fact.

They're not Racist, They Every Body...

i'am enjoying the physics elementary particle on the charm. up down top bottom strange charm. some Shakespeare's pics. Carl jung-le book helped understand the nick bottom, robin goodfellow. harm c-harm .the selfie reflecting pooh/pool. azygous azymous god bless azoth. take2 charm

BBC spread a hate 🤬🤬🤬 BBC should be shut down 🤬🤬🤬period 💩💩💩

Bolloks 🤬🤬🤬🤬

What a disgraceful headline! Despite the NWO's immigration & miscegenation agenda, Scots remain open, kind and generous. The police in many countries use discriminate profiling and some are a nasty piece of work. How dare you cast such a slur on beautiful Scotland! & I'm English.

To summarize: a man took drugs (illegal) wielded a knife (illegal) assaulted a police officer (illegal) but this is somehow racist 🤷‍♂️

The media are making people racist by making everything about race all the time

I'm sure it is

When tragedy strikes people look to blame something. Unlike parts of the USA a racist cop in the UK wouldn’t find a receptive audience only their P45. Resisting arrest is a hazardous activity for suspects & for cops. Nobody expects it to end in death but it too easily can.

Rubbish. Compared to the rest of the world the UK is not racist. Especially Scotland. We are an open multicultural welcoming country who embrace all cultures and beliefs.

Then go to where you consider safer.

I think if white people started to do what black and Asian people do we will be called racist imagine this. White music awards. White film academy. White Council. White British business awards the list goes on and on and on and on. Yet White people are racist 🤔

That’s not true, it’s a clear lie, avoid no more racist than England, in fact I would suggest less racist It’s rather arrogant of the BBC posting anti Scottish propaganda like this

Maybe she should move to England. Only then will she réalise how inclusive Scotland is.

And sectarian

He was murdered by 9 police officers who beat him on the ground till he went unconscious. Post mortem revealed he had 23 seperate injuries.

Why is it, every time a black person dies or arrested its racist.

To right. It is racist to English people.

Drugged up and brandishing a knife but she plays the race card to deflect on her brothers actions….🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Why do you make everything about race ? It’s not .

Here's a few ideas, don't overdose on drugs, don't go out waving a knife at people, and don't attack police officers! According to the coroners report, it was the drugs that ended his life.

Well that's true. They really hate the English.

Yeah right, so one incerdent and everyone in Scotland is racist, utter bull

She no longer feels safe being black in Scotland? Maybe she she look up which 'community' is commiting most of the stabbings and violent crime.

That's what she said what was the legal approach?

They also don't like people threatening others with knives or was it OK for her brother to do that.

FunkMan05

Well she would wouldn’t she nothing about he was a wrongen I bet

Go to China and you’ll witness racism. Go to America and you’ll witness racism. Go to afirca and you’ll witness racism. Basically go to anywhere in the world where you are different than the majority and you’ll witness racism.

I once was in Scotland and was walking by a pub, one of the locals said 'these n-words are ruining our country' his friends agreed while they continued to drink their beer

Rubbish

Got to take the award for the cheapest headline ever.

Probably true

Oh no, a knife wielding drug fueled criminal was stopped by the police. Next...

If you want to see a REAL racist country, then try looking in Europe, Asia or Africa. Why does and other organisations keep perpetuating this garbage, that 1 opinion, and not “NEWS” in any way. Both U.K. & USA are probably the 2 most diverse countries on the planet.

It certainly is

Its common knowledge

Condemning everyone over a tragic incident is disproportionate!

And I thought they were only anti English

Perhaps they should move to another country away from Europe .

I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t have batted an eyelid had it been a white man, high on drugs carry a knife that died at the hands of the police. Race didn’t play a part in his death, heavy handed police officers did!

Mr Anwar will have all the answers…

Racists , everywhere , anyone, institutional racism forbidden by law, isn’t it?

This inquiry will bring out the true events of that awful night.....nothing to do with race, simply a drug fuelled and violently out of control individual.

No surprise there at all then... They hate everyone

Not everyone in Scotland is racist but Scotland has a sectarianism and nationalism problem which can facilitate racist discrimination and behaviour.

Yet again don’t like it go home

Black on Black shootings totalling 10 dead - in Milwaukee and Baltimore not reported by scared media .

That statement in it's self is racist. Most racists arent white. Most of the world isnt white. The most racist, sexist, homophobic intolerant undiverse countries aren't western/white. Made worse by westerners with a western-centric view of the world that doesn't put it in context

Scotland is racist to straight white BRITISH men. 👊🇬🇧

Did she say anything about her brother carrying a knife, being high on drugs, punching a female police officer and refusing to comply with police officers?

Makes a change from the English I suppose

Describing me as white is not racist, describing you as a black person it's racist. People of colour are the biggest racist. With all due respect..

Boycott irn bru!

Its very difficult, for people who are not white fit in a country particularly and predominantly white be accepted into their society.

Scotland, being a country, is a landmass indicated by borders and geography. Therefore it cannot consciously be racist, or sexist, etc. If she said ‘Scottish people’ that would be better, and equally ridiculous and libellous towards millions of non-racist Scots.

If the UK is soo racist then why do they all keep coming? 🙃

She'll be heading home to Africa where she'll be safer?

Everywhere and anywhere is racist......to people of color. It will never end.

The whites hate the whites up there, they haven't even started on the ethnics.

Forget to mention carrying a knife... Don't think he was buttering bread 🔪🍞🔪🍞..

True.

They're campaigning for racism. They want appointments based on skin colour rather than competence.

Please tell that all those poor soles setting off in rubber boats risking their lives fleeing war torn France

Well they are not too keen on the Englisjh either, does that count?

Is the whole family seeking millions of £££’s of dosh.?

Tragic for this man's family. Condolences. If this isn't headline click bait or a family's words, misconstrued. Then, no ✋🏻 Scotland isn't ✋🏻 Scottish People are some of the Most Friendly Welcoming people, you'll ever meet Easy Going. Great Craic I'm a non white person btw

I know they don’t like the English either.

Tell her to piss off to China or the Middle East then, I hear they really love black people there.

Former firearms officers says £1m payout will not make up for painA former officer who was victimised while working for Police Scotland says she was failed by the force. Without questioning the verdict this amount of compensation is grossly excessive. We can only hope the Daily Mail etc keep tabs on this person and continue to report on her life, which will no doubt become a train wreck I'm sure the good people of Scotland will be happy to cough up a cool million for her hurt feelings There is not much mentioned about this 'pain', someone made a comment, what else? No support? Well that happens everywhere.
