Ex-Cop Says Sorry Over Chelsea Racism Incident

[n2doc]

A former policeman accused of being involved in an alleged racist incident with Chelsea football fans on the Paris Metro has apologised.

Richard Barklie, who was one of three men police sought after a black man was allegedly pushed off the train by chanting football supporters, has insisted he is not a racist.

Video posted online showed commuter Souleymane Sylla being pushed back onto the platform as some of those on the train chanted "we're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it".

Mr Barklie, 50, who was a member of the Royal Ulster Constabulary and a Police Service of Northern Ireland officer, is currently a director of the World Human Rights Forum.

Fugg him.

3. There is "context and circumstances," but he apologized to the victim.

World Human Rights Forum may need to rethink their support and Mr. Barklie needs sensitivity training. I really do not give a flying fuck how many humanitarian missions he's been involved with. Do-gooding doesn't preclude racism.
