Hi,
I'm refering to the meeting at Walton Lane Police Station, yesterday, where
it
was agreed that I should e-mail you some documents regarding the case we
were discussing in the meeting.
There are quite a few documents, so I'm going to be sending you several
e-mails.
When I'm finished sending you all of the documents, then I'll send an e-mail
with an overview of which documents I have been sending you.
While I was at your Police Station yesterday, it seemed like I was harassed
in
the reception.
First I rang the bell.
Then a blond PC in her 30's, I think, showed up, and asked me what it was
regarding.
Then she stopped listening to me.
And started speaking with an African gentleman, who was sitting waiting in
your
waiting-area.
Then she went to the back-office.
Then she got back, and helped the gentleman.
Then she asked me again what my visit was regarding.
This seemed odd and harassing to me, because she shouldn't have switched her
attention away from me, after first asking me to tell her what my visit
there was
regarding.
I don't want to speculate, but I was wondering if this could some way that
the
Merseyside Police wanted to see if I was a racist, and wanted to check if
I was politically correct enough to het help.
It could seem a bit like this to me now, so I was wondering how I should go
forward
with reporting this.
Also, I didn't mention it yesterday in the meeting, I remember I felt
'stupid'/looked
down on, while I was waiting, while the PC went back to the back office.
But I needed some time to think through the situation, before I knew how to
present it.
And yesterday, I was also so focused on preparing for the meeting, so I
didn't use
that much time to think about this spesific situation.
But after I got back home again, I have had the oppertunity, to think more
about this,
and thats why I'm writing about this to you now.
To get advice on how I should go forward, with reporting this.
Because like I told you in the meeting yesterday, I don't think PC's and
Police Officers,
should act inaproperatly or unrepresentatlively, (regardless of the
circomstances), so
that's why I think I should report about harassment-situations like this.
Hope that this is alright!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog
