An alleged attack by two 13-year-olds on a young boy in Bradford that was filmed and viewed thousands of times online was not racially motivated, police say.
Three 13-year-old boys were arrested on Friday on suspicion of assault following a video showing a 12-year-old boy being punched and kicked. West Yorkshire Police said this weekend that two of the arrested boys have been charged with attempted robbery and assault and were released on bail to appear at Bradford Youth Court at a future date. The third boy was released on bail for further enquiries to be undertaken. Detective Chief Inspector Terry Long said: “Thankfully a member of the public has reported the Facebook video posting of the assault which occurred in early May 2015. It was not reported to the police at the time. We don’t believe the attack to be racially motived. “The police in Bradford will not tolerate incidents of this type and we will respond quickly and professionally.” The boys involved in the video are all from the Heaton area of Bradford, police said last week. not racially motivated, police say.....YEAH RIGHT |

Imagine the outcry if the kid was black..
This continual denial of racism beng anything but one way is incredible. Thankfully, after posting this, the 2 twats will get a slap. |

Agreed Slippy.
Twice the size of the boy and to say it isn't racially motivated is pure whitewashing (no pun intended) from the police. |
|
By:
There seems to be a lot of 'imagining' and 'ifs' going on. "How will the BBC report this?"...as accurately as possible, as they always do. I suppose that they will consult the police department who are in possession of the relevant details and witness statements.
The BBC can not report something as racially motivated just to please some chitchatters. The police say (apparently) that it was NOT racially motivated. What undisclosed information are the forumites keeping secret? |
|
By:
Well if it was merely robbery why a sustained attack?
|
|
By:
from the video shown it looks like
no attempt to rob the young lad or one would have held him down while the other rifled through his pockets |

Good link from broadsword. It explains how the narrative has to be followed and why the reporting will always follow the narrative. In this case racism against the white kid in the video does not fit the narrative of racism. Because the narrative of racism projected by the powers that be is always white on black. |

Are there 3 white boys left in Bradford who can go out and beat up a pakistani boy a few years younger than them?
Purely in the interest that all the news reports it will generate will surely say it's not racist. |
|
By:
That would depend entirely upon WHY they beat him up. As it always does.
|
|
By:
So if I went out tomorrow and shot dead a few non-whites, but never said a word, it's just murder, not racist murder.
|
|
By:
Depends entirely upon why you killed them. As you already know.

You're wasting your time here naydam.
The deluded old fool still fails to recognise that he is not best placed to decide on such matters. It is rather like having Jimmy Savile lecture everyone on child protection. |

Heaton used to be the classiest area in inner city Bradford, it's where my sister had her first house. Not any more it isn't now the Asians are taking it over (gradually)

WES and NAY.....you are indeed wasting your time :
To be blunt, Western efforts to assist Muslims and other minorities are futile because, by postponing or at best prolonging the process of their transition to modernity — by creating the illusion that one can hold on to tribal norms and at the same time become a successful citizen — the proponents of multiculturalism lock subsequent generations born in the West into a no-man’s-land of moral values. What comes packaged in a compassionate language of acceptance is really a cruel form of racism. And it is all the more cruel because it is expressed in sugary words of virtue. |
