Re: Migrant beaten by cops
I refer to the comments section of the article on the migrant who got beat up, on the Times of Malta website.
Some people are saying the cops deserve our full support.
Puh-leaze.
On another note, I agree that nationalities shouldn't be mentioned when describing a criminal act as it may incite racism. A rapist is a rapist whether he's black or white.
The same goes for this situation. Stating the guy who got beat up was Sudanese can incite racism from the other side. The skin colour of a guy getting beaten to a pulp for no good reason should make no difference.
Two weights, one measure.

I agree that all cases of excess use of force by the police should always be condemned, and the nationality of the victims shouldn't even be considered to make judgments or draw conclusions.
re the nationalities not being mentioned...I have noticed that it is not only a matter of nationalities as the place where people live (within Malta) is usually provided.
If the nationality or city where the person lives,is mentioned it shouldn't incite racism, discrimination or hatred. Unfortunately discrimation is present in almost all societies (maybe all?) and even here I have heard people telling me that when they say that they are from this or that city here in Malta they are discriminated against when trying to find a job. Is this true? or is it that I am mistaken?
I wish that these things didn't happen and that because the victim is from another country a fuss about this fact (nationality) shouldn't be made and as you said, the skin colour of the victim whose rights were violated should make no difference and impunity shouldn't prevail.
