Police issue CCTV pictures in racist abuse hunt

Police issue CCTV pictures in racist abuse hunt
DETECTIVES hunting a man who hurled racist abuse at a Southampton security guard have released CCTV images in a bid to catch him.
Police want to speak to the man shown in the images captured on camera at the 99p shop in Bitterne Precinct in connection with two verbal attacks on the store's security guard.
Officers were called after the second incident when a man, who had been in the shop with a woman pushing a child in a pushchair, left the store before coming straight back in and threatening to assault the guard and hurling racist abuse at him.
It came a month after he threatened the same security guard when asked to remove his hood in line with the shop policy.
Police have released CCTV of both incidents, the second of which happened at around 10.20am on January 16.
Anyone who recognises the man in the pictures or has any information about the incident should call PC Rory Stuart at Bitterne Police Station on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

If you have read, and more importantly, understand the news item, you would be aware that he, the Male, had previously been in the shop with a Female, so the odds are that the Female in the photograph, is accompanied by the Male in question.
I appreciate that the written word can, at times, be confusing but do hope that this explanation is sufficient for you to understand.

Why is the picture quality so poor? It looks like it's been printed with an empty ink cartridge and then scanned?

Racist insults are not just White on Black/Asian. I have witnessed aggression and insults from our ethnic friends too. Never reported in the media in this manner though.
Have you considered the fact that white people make up the vast majority of this countries population? Obviously not, because if you did, you would then realise that statistically, most race crimes are going to be perpetuated by the majority on the minority. It's a simple fact.

Have you considered the fact that racism knows no colour. That it is a bigger problem in some countries where there is no difference in colour? Obviously not, because if you did, you would realise that by singling out part of society whether the white majority or not, you are in fact being racist and failing to recognise that the problem exists universally.

As for the rest of your comment, I've read it 5 times over and I'm sorry mate, but I cant work out what you are trying to say. It appears that you are suggesting that I'm racist because I pointed out the indisputable fact that the majority of the UK is white?

Racial abuse ie name calling, does not physically hurt a person, but when they react, that is when violence occurs and people get hurt.
Usually it is a group of people who verbally abuse a person or persons of another group - usually when they are part of a smaller group.

Hopefully our laws will stop resentment around the world as any person, black, white, Asian, French, Polish, German can be brought before the courts for abusing or discriminating against another on racial grounds.Justice is possible.
