Coventry police officer told bar staff to look out for "young black males"

A Coventry police officer has apologised after an email was sent out to nightclub owners asking them to look out for "young black males" in the wake of the Fidel Glasgow murder.

The email was sent from a Coventry police officer to a number of people, including nightclub and pub owners, as part of the Pubwatch scheme.

However, the phrasing of the email has been criticised by the Equality and Human Rights Commission and a community activist.

The email asked Pubwatch to be aware of the heightened level of surveillance that police require from everyone on the doors, so there was no 'repeat of the violence'.

However it particularly asked people to look out for "problems, tensions, gatherings of young black males who may be intent on reprisals".

It also said: "Any problems or large gatherings of young black males who look as though they are intent on committing disorder should be rung in on either 999s if an incident is occurring or 101."

Now police say they will be speaking to the officer in question - who is said to be "upset and sorry".

There is also a senior officer (not local) currently under suspension for saying "... we must be whiter than white..."

This stupidity is going to come back and bite them on the arse at some point.

The victim was black, the suspect was black, what was the police officer supposed to say? "Look out for a white gang"?

Perhaps they want us to become like London and let them all to it.
They can't win if the police done nothing they would be accused of racisium.
I just hope our police can do the same when our kids are at risk of being followed in fear of abduction instead of saying we have nt enough police . .
