isn’t there another film on here where the Yank campus cops tasered some black guy in a university for not producing a valid library card when requested?
arab, not black. he was a registered student at the university, but didn’t ahve ID with him and refused to leave the library as he was busy studying
a Saudi mate of mine is a youth worker and took a group of young people (who were excluded from school) to the swimming pool. he was standing at the side of the pool talking into his mobile to his wife, who was pregnant and in SA, due to give birth any day. some kind by-stander called the cops and said that there was a terrorist in the pool. the cops arrived, and arrested him based on no evidence, cuffed him while he was still in his trunks and while he was responsible for 15 under-16 year olds
he was kept in the cells for 48 hours, without clothes and without access to a solicitor or phone call. the cops came into his cell periodically and told him that there had been bombs going off all over the city he was from (all untrue, but he had no way of verifying this)
by this stage he was in total panic, worried sick about his family
his wife gave birth to their first child while he was in a police cell in exeter (he had been due to fly home the night of his arrest)
is this country any better or worse than the countries that are demonised in our press?
