What's your point? Are you claiming that a significant base of evidence is somehow disproven because of one incident?

  My point is that in Western Europe police is being accused of racism because they employ statistical profiling. Which is then called racist by its opponents.

    With the track records of the police forces involved, are you surprised people have a degree of scepticism?

      What track record of the Dutch police? Do you have sources? If anything, the Dutch police force is one of most docile of the world. And my feeling is this holds true for the UK as well.

        Excuse the Daily Mail link sorry and the other link is a police murder with the mayor discussing police racism. The Dutch police are very good by nearly all accounts, but it's not hard to find accounts of racism. The UK police have a very long and much worse history of racism with the Met being front and centre (less so now than 10+ years ago though). I won't post a link for them as it is extremely easy to find many many cases unfortunately. Pick you examples with them, beatings, killings, harassment, illegal searches etc. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3163974/Boy-13-handcuffed-motorcycle-police-officer-run.html www.nltimes.nl/2015/07/09/hague-mayor-admits-police-racism-chief-breaks-down-over-fatal-arrest/

  It wasn't exactly "one incident". The Rotherham thing was a systematic failure caused by intentionally engineered race/ethnicity-based policy.
