Oh so they just stop any random black person and threaten with a Taser and thats ok.

Police being **** and being over zealous. Are we surprised?

Staggering. So if the victim had said white person on a bike would they immediately have been wrestling every white bike rider to the ground?

Arrested and assaulted for being a black cyclist – seems about right.

If my 13 year old son had been thrown into a bush by a copper for the crime of riding his bike id have been furious too.

I understand it’s a tough job, but wtf was the copper thinking?

Why didn’t his colleagues immediately apologize ?

Why didn’t his colleagues immediately apologize ?

Because that is an admission of guilt and as soon as you apologize that means you have something to apologize for.
