Three Black women: ‘Mocked with monkey chants, called slaves’ and then prosecuted for ‘self-defence’

In the last week rioters, right wing conspiracy theorists and Reform MPs have been pushing a claim that police are treating white people more harshly than people from ethnic minorities.

This has been angrily denied by police chiefs and the Prime Minister as absolute nonsense. And people from minorities have been pointing at the evidence that if anything, the criminal justice system has been unfair towards them.

Take the experience of three Black women who were accused of assaulting a white woman at a London underground station last year. They said they'd in fact been defending themselves after a violent racist attack. And eventually the case against them was suddenly dropped just as the trial was about to start.

They've spoken for the first time about the experience to us.

The irony that the one making the monkey chants acted like the real animal biting a person.

[wilsonmanch]

Sorry to say. Racists will never ceased to exist. We need to always stand up for ourselves and never let bullying continue. Stop it at the first instance of bullying.

[AuntyKarena]

File a civil lawsuit and a personal injury lawsuit against the “animal “ who bit you.

[marionmclean]

Does a bite on the arm mean nothing? Forensic investigation could prove that she did that! Shocking.

[Byzantine_Orthodox_Christian]

Damn the British propaganda machine is in full effect

[nickandrew]

Still no arrests for Manchester Airport thugs and no arrests Birmingham when guy tried to slash reporters tyres. Is this guy on drugs

[MaryQueenHeavyIsTheCrown]

Absolutely disgusting that officer shouldn’t get away with it.

My kid has been bullied at school since he started by a gang of kids. He knows what happens if he fights back. The school wont' touch the situation, unless it's my son who says something back.

Where's the footage from the train?

[michaelkealy]

Why is there no video evidence of anything ?

[shawnlivers]

Unfortunately, the person playing the victim will suffer deeply. What she doesn’t t realize is that when the evil you do comes back to you, it comes back with more severe consequences. May she have a change of heart.

[majorskies]

you dont choose how you are born... why did that lady hurt them just because they have different skin colour, it hurts so much...

[phillipdavies]

A classic case of "he said, she said".
What is needed is for any independent witnesses to step forward and give a statement.

[simon_a.j.]

It's surprising that nobody pulled their phone out and recorded the incident

[rat]

why is there video evidence of their night out but not of the racial abuse?

[lilliankeane]

The law doesn’t like a victim to defend themselves! It’s absurd!

[MichaelPerkins-pm]

One person attacked 3 on a crowded train with no video?

[yomiwilliams]

This is the country Piers Morgan says is the most tolerant country against racism 😂😂😂

[SHEK]

And racism doesn’t exist in this country apparently, according to some

This reminds me of when male abusers try to claim abuse when the women they are mistreating stand up for themselves. Thank goodness they have each other and were together, makes it harder to gaslight.
