The pros and the cons have both been argued about and I can see both sides but when you have police officers not doing there job correctly and forgetting, or should I say, "choosing to dismiss the fundamental training they have been given" it leads me to think that, in order for stop and search to work, the number one thing there needs to be is a common respect between each party.
Each party needs to feel that a job is being done for a purpose and not just based on the colour of someone's skin, the clothes that they are wearing or the number of people they are walking with.

Daily Mail headline using the words "attack" and "terrified". |

Several media publications ran with the visuals of this video and described it as an 'Attack On Police' or 'Police Beaten Whilst Doing Their Job'.
