Two years after the London Metropolitan Police were publicly accused of racism in a case that at the time led to an investigation as well as apologies only to your girlfriendPortuguese sprinter Ricardo dos Santos returned this weekend to complain about the discriminatory behavior of the London authorities. On social media, the 27-year-old Portuguese athlete, who will represent Portugal at the European Championships in Munich, has shared a series of videos taken from his car, showing the entire police operation he was the target of.
“It doesn’t surprise me that I went through it again. [madrugada de domingo] On my way home, I was stopped by seven armed police officers who thought I was using a mobile phone while driving. At their request, I stopped. [o carro] when it was safe,” began with the explanation of the Benfica athlete, who, despite representing Portugal and the Eagles, lived in London for several years with sprinter Bianca Williams.
He continued, “After stopping, the two agents ran to both sides of the car. One of them hit the window with his clenched fist and tried to open the car door. Since he was frustrated and did not know how to use the Tesla, he took out his club and I was ready to break the glass. It saddens me that two years later, nothing has changed. Why do you need seven cops when I was alone? sportsman.
The London Metropolitan Police have already responded in an official statement, emphasizing that they are aware of the videos shared on social media explaining the incident. “At about 4:00 am on Sunday, August 14, armed agents patrolled a police car. They saw the car on the A40 Westway and became concerned that the driver might be using a cell phone while driving. the order was not carried out and reinforcements were called. The driver stopped after five minutes, after which the agents explained why they had asked to stop. After this conversation, the car was allowed to continue its journey. We have contacted the owner via Twitter to discuss the matter with us if necessary.”
It should be noted that this “tweet” deserved a short reply from Ricardo dos Santos. “Yes, I only showed part of it, because my lawyer has the rest. Not to mention why it took a little longer to stop.”
Annoyed that nothing has changed in 2 years but they still manage to run the police… why do 7 armed officers have to be present when I was alone. 2 or 3 maximums would be enough. 3/3 pic.twitter.com/fol46XxKPR
