Black bank manager to sue Metropolitan Police for racial discrimination after 26-month nightmare
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 май 2024
- The Metropolitan Police have told us they will fully investigate allegations made by Dale Semper, a black bank manager, who says he was wrongfully targeted by officers, and faced accusations of money laundering, terrorism and trafficking in an investigation which lasted more than two years before being dropped with no apology. In this exclusive report, he told Channel 4 News, it has devastated his life.

140k to defend himself against false accusations. Now imagine if he didn't have this money he would certainly be in jail for a crime he didn't commit.
Which is the case for a lot of black people in jail. They were innocent but couldn’t afford proper defense.
They would have sent him packing to Jamaica... Where isn't from... wickedness
Absolutely shocking
The humanlited this brother for nothing because is black and had good job living a great life through his hard work what if, has been pink man they won't even bat an eyelid whoever's tried to ruin this brother career will get what he or she deserves.
This man needs to call upon the ancestors real quick. Bless those wicked people with their wrath. His wife from Jam too, they know.
Since he's clearly innocent, charges need to be brought against his accuser(s), these are malicious accusations.
I agree.
Absolutely without a shadow of a doubt!!!
it's his racist neighbours call the police on him
@@quickcrypto3689 might be. do you have any proof

Yes quite possible. People do suffer from envy
This is disgraceful! It sounds like they initially acted on false information or mistaken identity (give benefit of doubt); but when they found no evidence, instead of just dropping it and apologising, they doubled down and added every charge they could think of to justify their continued harrassment, including falsely claiming he's in the country illegally.
This happens more often, and in more places, than we could possibly realize. I met a woman who was sentenced to prison after a false tip to police. While the "tip" was groundless, the woman was convicted of using money from one of her businesses to pay the bills of another business she owned.
"Look at his skin colour, of course he's guilty", is the official position of the Met -- even if they won't say it out loud.
I pray he gets justice & gets compensated for what he's lost but the truth of the matter is the mental anguish that's been done will never leave him & that's just devastating!!!! My heart goes out to him & his family & they will all be in my prayers!!! So sorry they've gone through this!!!!! This behaviour by police & investigators needs to stop!!!!
*The person(s) who "tipped off" the police are the ones who need to be investigated, along with the officers, themselves. SHAMEFUL!*
I think this is work related. I'm thinking someone from work filed a false report for him to get in trouble. Should check who gets to benefit from him getting arrested.
@@kingkinit8120 That person (or persons), too. What a horrible thing to happen to a hardworking, upright young man! I wonder if there will be any follow-up?
From top to bottom
@@kingkinit8120 The police should be of a high enough standard to have deduced that this character was straight within a fairly short time. Rather than that they let their racism run. Those involved should be thrown out of the service and lose their pensions.
Pretty sure they were jealous, properly even worked at the same bank and were upset & wanted to see him successful and made a false report.
To ask him how he could afford the things in his home allows me to realize that racism and jealousy go hand in hand. 😔
No it didn't. racisme exacerbate when the people you discriminated against do better than you.
But for racism to reality grow you need to have and keep that groupe/race/gender/ whatever.. under you socially, that way you can sell the narrative that you are better than them.
You don't born a racist the environment you grow with make you one. Most of the time this environment is poverty and hopelessness. When you are there you need someone to blame. It either a group weaker than you or the government.
The problem start when a political party fuel this fear or rage against said group in order to gain the power and the government.
People or party willing to do anything in order to stay or be in power didn't deserve to be call leader
It's a common question, the amount of drug dealers in the UK is crazy.
@@pierreblaise9433 I think you missed my point.
This is beyond racism. There was something much deeper going on here. Not saying racism wasn't involved just there there was most likely something else going on here.
At the end of the day racism is another form of evil and evil always breeds other evils.
Not just with jealousy but also pride.
Why do they always assume that we're indulging in illegal activities just because we're living comfortably. This is scary that someone could accuse me and I end up waking to someone kicking in my door based on some trumped up lies by someone jealous of what I have.
True! It’s not just the Police but some other Races and our own fall for this stereotype also.
It's frightening how easy it is for corrupt police to destroy someone's life!!
As soon as the cops realized there is no gun. It turns into a "find anything to charge him with" happens all the time.
Happens in the USA all the time, too. And if a case goes to trial, and the person is convicted and sentenced to years or life in prison or the death penalty, they may be found innocent years later, and eventually released. They may even get some kind of settlement from the state, depending on the state. but They almost never get an apology. And what’s worse, the prosecutors, almost without fail, claim that they still believe they got the right person. I would like all of those prosecutors to go through what the man in this video went through.
Duncan I understood wazza mc’s comment just fine. And by the way, I’ve had ADHD almost my whole life. But I managed to graduate from college, anyway. Incidentally, ADHD is NOT a learning disability. The last D stands for “disorder”, asshole. But it doesn’t matter, because all your comments here are just personal attacks. Not one mention of the issue in the video. So you don’t like people with learning disabilities, although I think wazza mc was kidding. And you trashed me because I made comparisons to the US justice system, which is obviously far from perfect and full of discrimination and double standards at every stage, and everybody knows it. Which leads me to believe that you are a bigoted little troll. And a willfully ignorant, blind nationalist who probably thinks that the de facto apartheid perpetuated in the US, even today, is a fine idea.
Ijust wish not only should he sue them, but for the sake of his own mental health and career prospects, he should move to another job.
Disagree to a point, uk police will do the least work humanly possible - I should know, I work with a lot of them. They also don't want to be raiding a black guys house, even if he's clearly guilty without lots and lots of evidence. Generally speaking 30 pieces of evidence is required for a warrant. Obviously the accuser(s) have gone to town, and are racist/jealous of a hardworking individual, so they say they saw the guy with a gun. There you go, plenty of 'evidence' and a witness willing to go to court over allegedly seeing a gun, this allows a 'covert' operation and a warrant. I wouldn't be surprised if the cops just followed him for a few days prior to the warrant - but I can't officially comment on this, because every force does it differently. Anyway, they enter said property and find no gun. Well conveniently the accuser has said he's a drug dealer, so if you find cash and no drugs, that's money laundering. I've been apart of many warrants that have disappointingly found nothing, despite the people being ex-con, known dealers etc, we just try again in the future. All races and walks of life. Also arresting him for ML allows the police to get more resources to investigate this properly, before the warrant it's basically just words albeit a lot of words, but after a warrant they can do this properly. If the police were a lot better funded, they could investigate properly before a warrant, and use the warrant to seize known items, and arrest, rather than using it in hopes of getting something. And yes, this was just me having a go at the Gov for lack of funding.
That's how they operate. 🐖
His job should have backed him up and paid for the defense. The bank should also be sued for demoting him as well.
Not how financial institutions work. They have to wait on the verdict
Dude is a Keyon. A keyon watches a crime go on won't call the police no matter what until there is a law suit.A keyon just watched his son get attacked and never called the cops and now he is working the law suit angle.Now it is all racist when the cops check out a bank, and the keyon did nothing for 26 months.
@@doctormcgoveran2194?? I don't understand... What is a keyon please??
@@barbaracook7142 it is the opposite of a karen. A karen sees a tiny law broken around her kid, and is on the phone to the cops. A keyon has the right to call the cops and won't just hangs back and waits to sue. Latest thing there was a keyon and his kid was attacked he did not step in the attack and stop the attacker he had a phone in his hand and did not dial 911 he watched the attacker and filmed the attack and now he is testifying under oath that he filmed an attack against his son a million dollars worth of damage and did not call the cops.This bank manager was sitting on a gold mine before he said anything to anybody.He could say "I run a legal clean bank, I operated under a microscope for two years.He is an in an industry that investigates everybody, customers employees owners constantly.They got money for lawyers,they have them on retainer.26 months?

They should sue for damages too.

i know a lot of people that the same has happeed if its wrong information it will all be dropped
@@english3542 it depends. Just wrong intel is one thing deliberate false information or false accusations (even in person of a police officer another)
This bank should be called out for demoteing an innocent man.
what kind of bank is that?? they must be sued, dawg!!
I don’t even understand the actions made by his employer not supporting him all throughout the ordeal. They should’ve supported their employee especially that he has no wrong-doings or what not in their company. They even added to the suffering of this innocent man.
@@tambot10 it's wrong that he's gotta work his way back to where he was' so wrong.
@@tambot10 Same, my place backed me up with the full legal force of an instution that normally goes to bat over legal issues worth billions, over an allegation of evading a 40p bus fare, so I'm shocked his place just dropped him and left him on his own.
@@dylanthomas9089 In the USA they get a lot wrong but one thing they have RIGHT is the idea of being "put right", if you are wronged they have to make you right and pay you for everything you lost but in the fact and that you didn't get that you WOULD have gotten, and if he's lost his shot at being a high flying director, well ...that's a lot of money.
As a white British person I am so ashamed and disgusted of how this poor family has been treated with such disrespect. The fact that there was no evidence or proof should have stopped it the first time, but to keep happening is unreasonable.
I hope he gets an apology and sues the Met Police for all they have, because they should be ashamed of themselves for how they’ve treated him!
I don't think racist have any shame. Even when they get exposed.
It's very disturbing to hear what has happened to this young man. I would sue everyone involved and hold my head up high .Because you are a Black man and work hard for what you have. People are jealous and it's very very sad and disheartening. I wish you the best of luck on your future endeavors and have faith and trust in God. Everything will work itself out.🙏🙏🙏
The police 'investigating' the police is a total joke
I agree 100%. It's like asking the devil to prove he is not the devil.
We need a police investigation bureau
Where the investigators can't be police
Exactly! Put the fox in charge of the chicken House! 🤨
Are we becoming American now. I mean the authorities can totally destroy your life and get away with it without even paying back damages? Granted they made a mistake but a mistake of this magnitude must have consequences. Absolute disgrace that he is having to sue them with his own money to set things right.
One of the most Un-British things I have ever seen.
This type of thing starts out as being bad just for people in the minority (or others perceived as being weak) but really it is an infringement of all our basic human rights. If the people involved are not sacked or forced to resign this sort of thing will just carry on.
Police investigating, means we will do nothing about it.Never gonna fix the black and white problem between people as long as these morons are out there picking on people.racial profiling..
2:49 There you go, another honest black man guilty of being successful.
Exactly
They can't get more pathetic than that..
he can blame the baddies for giving bad reputation
@@english3542 what about the fact that the police had no reason to stop him in the first place?? Always looking in the wrong direction
english you are a moron and one of the reasons racism will never end
This makes me sick!
I'm so sorry to this family that has been violated in so many ways. This is what needs to be changed. 💔 why can't the public officials get it right? What kind of training do these clowns have? Really make us all lose faith in the justice system.
Incompetence! And no Integrity! Nobody's safe with people like this on the job.
All of this is very really odd and strange.....
Can't believe my tax money pays for this sort of behaviour from the police.
Stop paying tax, it's illegal to fund terrorism
I can and do believe it....it's just a fukin shame.
@@christophertucker4917 and risk prison?
Mate, the dude it happened to (the black bank manager) probably pays more tax than you and it happened to him.
Thing is, you're not the only one paying; and unfortunately, for some people.... that's exactly what they're paying for.
He should sue his job. They found nothing but he was still demoted.
As the man said, he was and still is so effected mentally by the whole thing, I can imagine his performance would suffer under it. He seems like a strong person, I think (and truly, truly) hope he will get back to the top and leave this all behind him
My thought exactly, he’s a black man moving up the ladder a bit too quick and it was their way of holding him back. The police did not just turn up there the bank sent them there in false allegations. That’s where the allegations came from and I’m hoping he some how figure it out.
26 months of trying to make something stick is mad, I'd love to punch up a policeman
Yes, great point! How does that even happen?
Job should be sued ofcourse, they knew who he was for years
"We investigated ourselves, and discovered we did nothing wrong."
Ugh people are so horrible to each other..
English people. Cops took my devices and made lies about me and words not from my mouth when detained before interview (in a report when asking for update) just because I stood up their ignoring evidence of assault on me from someone familiar. They think because they are English everyone will believe them. Dangerous culture of men.
exactly they know it every night and they know it when they look at the white women I'm an ambassador of on my devices every time they find time for it. they also know they age faster and get hungrier more and more and more and depressed more , the great anglo depression cloud will take over them. it doesn't matter if you are a white, black or pike you are 100% right.
It's wrong for the bank not to give him his position back, after the charges have supposedly been dropped. The police need to publicly apologize to him, his wife, mother, and father.
The bank are the ones who did it so of course they wouldn’t hire him back
Not happening
You never know...it could be someone in the bank for true...someone jealous of his success and even someone in a senior role who just doesn't like his success.
A black brother informer did this out of jealousy this alway the case.
He needs to sue both police and the bank.

Every single cop involved in this should be jailed for a minimum of 10 years and ALL their assets seized so their family members suffer as an example about what happens to DIRTY COPS!!!
He actually accepted a position lower than his previous position at the bank? I would have resigned if I had been in his place. Such nonsense.
Imagine if he wasn’t well off and had no way to defend himself legally. They could have pinned anything on him and got away with it.
It happens all the time especially our people
Wrong
Imagine the other people who haven’t abs able to prove them self
If he wasn't well off, he likely wouldn't have been accused of the things he was accused of. It's sad and pathetic.
@@OaklandsFinest1 Happens to anyone that don't look like them
How did his employer (bank) 're-instate' him at a lower grade???!! His employer discriminated against Dale as well!!
@Chris Dollery innocent until proven guilty in the USA don't know about the uk
@Chris Dollery not talking about whats ok for prisoners. Its what's ok for cops to do too innocent citizens 🙄.
@Chris Dollery well all you have to do is post bail so?
@Chris Dollery
The UK and USA work on the premise, no punishment without law, so they simply create a law to hold you pending further investigations.
What I would suggest that the Detective Constable who stands in front of a Judge and on oath states he believes he can provide the evidence to convict the accused in order to get him remanded in custody, but fails to get the conviction should do the same time in prison that the lawfully proved innocent man did while awaiting trial.
I know for a fact that many cops haven't a clue that they can provide the evidence to convict but just say the usual old tosh to get the accused put on remand and out of circulation for a while.
Sounds like my previous employer. They try to keep the position open for as long as possible but when it takes too long they fill the position. At least they’ve recognised his years of service and provided him with a job.
He had a right to sue sounds like another hate crime.
I feel sorry for the man and his family just a complete nightmare he’s going through, same thing happens here in the US it’s sad
He needs to sue the bank , why would they demote if he didn't break law or do anything
I agree, the bank should be sued.
I live in a 3rd world country and even here what the bank did is illegal.
I think this is work related. I'm thinking someone from work filed a false report for him to get in trouble. Always check who gets to benefit from him getting arrested.
I agree
Very good point.
If they'd fired him, maybe he'd have a case for constructive dismissal.
Bad publicity they don't want the publicity of a possible Thief being a bank manager being in charge of your money so even if he's innocent they'll move him to a position where he's not in charge of the money so that their customers can feel safer even though he did nothing wrong trust me it happens all the time you could have done nothing at all wrong and people will fire you or try to push you to the side for some preconceived bad press that you might bring
Somebody at his bank job betrayed him. He was clearly betrayed by his competitive co-workers..
I totally agree
I'm not sure betrayal is the right word, but his workplace has a whiff to it that's for sure.
Agree.
I think this is work related. I'm thinking someone from work filed a false report for him to get in trouble. Always check who gets to benefit from him getting arrested.
Also the bank should be sued. He should not have been demoted.
Jealous neighbor.
Makes sense
Some people are born evil...
He should file lawsuit for extreme large compensation against the city.
This sounds like a deliberate attempt to get him out of his job, maybe by some jealous coworker.
Yep
I told him the same thing!!!
Didn’t think of that but you could be write!!!
Thought so myself
Some jealous co worker wanted his job. This sound like a set up.
Absolutely ridiculous. And possibly the worst thing is that no apology was given when it became clear that Mr Semper was COMPLETELY innocent.
Apologize with money not with words
Don't hold your breath for an apology.
They haven't even apologise for slavery
He should get an apology but police do have a duty to follow up serious alligations.. People making false accusations should receive the same punishment as the alleged criminal would have faced... Maybe this guy upset a work colleague or something but racially motivated??? We don't have the technology to read people's minds yet thank good!!
Maguire Fire cops are supposed to investigate before they arrest someone especially when it’s someone with no previous convictions. it’s clear as day it’s racial profiling
Please sue them for money to take care of your great grandchildren you don't have as yet
They are aweful to mess up your life like that. The good cops always gets hurt but the bad one are always around to hurt people
Praying for you and the family.
If this happens to a rich black person imagine what happens to poor black men. But mister bank manager gets media attention and sympathy. Poor black men in estates don't get this kind of attention. It's fucling sickening how class oriented the media is. My support to all invisible black men suffering from way worse police abuse than this man has. No justice, no peace, F the police.
May the evil person who tried to drag him down reap the pain 10 fold
This is what institutional racism looks like hope this man rebuild his life after this kmt
I'm from America, and though I didn't know racism was that bad in the UK, it sounds to me more like a JEALOUS COWORKER made that complaint. Too much said about things that ONLY a coworker would've known.
@@TerryReedMiss I think you're spot on correct. Someone told the police a pack of lies and they bought it.
@@TerryReedMiss I hear you but unfortunately this is regular occurrence in the UK. The police seen to have a issue with black people driving particular cars and wearing expensive jewellery...
@A1 How did black people get to the west...They built the west check THE history!
@@TerryReedMiss You're skirting the issue because you're afraid of calling it what it is: RACISM. How often do people call police on their white coworkers out of jealousy? How would that even go, "Oh...yes police, he has a GLK"? You know damn well that wouldn't happen because it's expected that white people work hard for these things.
Someone in the bank wanted his position and that person is friend to the police. I wonder who is in his position at the bank? Look no further.
Definitely, it is obvious he was unstoppable in exelling
Sue the police department and the police involved separately and sue the bank also
I agree with you...some jealous white TP in the bank played dirty games with corrupt stupid cops in this case. They should be sued individually...
A higher bank manager did this too him. Thats soooo bait!!!!
Yasssssss…..
The officers involved need to be arrested & removed from their jobs as they clearly should not be in the police. The senior officer in the Met in charge of those officers needs to held accountable as well. The bank needs to give this man his original position back.
I am genuinely shocked and annoyed that that any police force can treat a family like this although I suppose I should not be surprised as it was perpetrated by the notorious Met. Truly shocking!
The British police don't need guns to destroy black men in Britain.
not only him everyone
@sandy sand If you look up the figures, as the BBC did, you'll find black men are treated no differently than any other racial group. In fact you'll find that white people are 25% more likely to die in custody than any other ethnic group.

So true
I am asking family to support your young black men they are at war with the racist system
How's having £2,000 money laundering? I've held that much and more in my home at times. It's called hard work not money laundering.
Depends how he obtained it.... I once remember there was a bank manager who used to hold large money transfers one additional day and then filter of the additional interest - doesn't sound alot for one day but it soon adds up
He also owns buy to lets. Could be rent.
@@kogikashakunin4683 No dude, no bank can get away with demoting an individual when no crime was committed so there is something and as usual the Left Wing Press do not report all. There is no way the police would waste money on a 26 month case if there was nothing to follow.
Also even if he is innocent - What makes this a Race Issue - Because a person of colour was arrested for a crime he says he did not commit? Sorry, if there is no truth to the allegations then the worst this is is a story of a wrongful arrest! I have been stopped by the police due to the car I drive and guess what I am white, i have also been stopped and searched because I fitted a description...
You people need to stop looking for racism because like the story of the priest looking for a fictitious black cat in a dark room with the lights out - If you believe hard enough in your ideology you will find what you are looking for whether it is there or not!
@@sharpes_rifles8971 Rates of stop and search disagree with you're assessment. I'm not trying to be "left wing". Just basing this on stats. Also plenty of times the police have admitted that they stop and search people for just being black.

They just ruined their lives on false allegations and no evidence. Jealousy, racial biases. It never should have gone that far. Their lives will never be the same.
I remember this case very well as it was widely discussed in the judicial community. God bless him and his family 🌻
Why is the bank punishing him!??? This is insane! Such racism, such hate! Those cruel sick police officers! He should have been fully reinstated to his role on the bank. Clearly the bank is as racist as the police!!
My heart goes out to this family.
When ppl want to be in a position they will try any and everything to dig a ditch for ppl, but those are the same ones who falls in that ditch!!
When you are removed from a position, the business has to fill it with someone else. There is no guarantee that you can or will get it back especially after time has passed. Also, there is reputation to consider, not just his own but also the bank’s reputation. A simple google search could show this scandal and having that in leadership is not good for business.
@@MalikEmmanuel Sounds like usual. Businesses don't want to be in a position of having to explain things. No false accusations, rumors, etc then nothing to explain.
They lost him his job, so he should be compensated for all the lost wages up to his retirement. Probably a few million.
@@davidpeppers551 the problem is that he would have to prove that he was guaranteed to hit those figures or guaranteed to hit those career markers.
I hope to hear about his story again someday, with a much happier ending.
@@MalikEmmanuel Don't think so. Reasonable probability should be enough for a good portion of it. The false accusation already cist a lot of time and expense. In US your supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.
If a person was gonna die, does that mean the murder wasn't murder? Do you have to prove the victim was going to live another day?
The guy having been reinstated in a demoted position righr after this has nothing to do with the false accusation? That is an unreasonable conclusion.
No apology? Quite outrageous... unbelievable!
I guess they didn't want to apologize as it will be straight out admitting they fucked up. It is ridiculous, I know, but the police is used to be treated differently when it comes to justice. They expect to get away with it.
someone want this guy out of the picture you need to find who it is before they try again
How are they able to do this? His employer couldn't assist him??? Instead they suspended him. SMH
The one(s) who provided the information should be sacked and prosecuted along the whole team behind
sent to prison
Either his neighbours or his office colleagues. that's for sure
Some times it's a covetous and hateful neighbor who thinks they have the right to destroy people home by their evil heart.

This is a dam shame. No person shoule be subjected to this kind of treatment.
TIP for cops: ALWAYS find out WHERE a suspect’s MOTHER works for the last 20 YEARS …BEFORE arresting him!!!!
Never ending racism with the police
They should pay him millions of pounds for ruining his career and the stress caused

You would imagine that accusing someone of crimes would require evidence. Apparently not. It seems it just requires accusations.
Sounds like someone in the bank knows someone in the police. Someone he knows has done this. This amount of accusations dont 'just' happen. He needs to sue for loss of earnings and damages.

Well, they have done this sort of bullying to white people too so I am not sure it is racist. I think it is just nasty police officers thinking they can bully and intimidate somebody. They get away with it too often.
@@littlenan3576 yeh you're either white or willfully ignorant if you think this isn't racist. Probably both. You're part of the problem, British police are clearly institutionally racist.
This is outrageous. I am so sorry for this family. How do the police get it so wrong ?? They should receive an apology and some form of compensation.
The police investigating the police, how reassuring.
im a 55 year old white male and have lived my life the way i wanted to. i have been arrested more times than i can remember because of choices i made. im not ashamed of it, it was just me at the time and i have grown up and out of that kind of behaviour. however, dale semper never chose that life but instead got his head down and made something of himself. he was respected in his field of work, certainly by those above him. he worked hard to get to where he was able to afford the luxury and spent his money wisely and on what he wanted. but then for the met to come into his life and almost completely ruin it, that goes beyond words. they refused to listen to an innocent person and instead dragged him through the mud as well as his close family. yet at NO TIME have they ever apologised.
he was completely innocent, they likely knew that within the first month but carried on as if the truth didnt matter. the question is, WHY. and i think the answer is very simple. they refused to believe they were wrong. having caused such an upheaval right from the off, they doubled down by closing off any source of funding available to him, having him suspended from his job and continuing to harass this man and his family because they could. because dale semper was black (in their words) he couldnt afford the lifestyle he had so it was obvious that he was dealing in drugs! in all honesty, i hope he sues them into the ground and gets whatever he can. he deserves it after the way he has been treated for over 2 years. all i have left to say is "good luck dale semper."
Exactly this. Well said!
he was driving a car that had been involved in serious crime, a flagged car
@@ScoopDogg ok so i just watched this video again as it had been awhile since. could you point out where it says this chaps car
"had been involved in serious crime, a flagged car."
because in this video there is nothing about his car being involved in a serious crime. and also lets not forget that it was a brand new car, meaning HE was the only person to have driven it. you get that, right? no-one but Dale Semper had driven that car. maybe his partner might have driven it perhaps but no-one else! but you have an explanation, dont you @ScoopDogg?
do you have a link to save e some time?
@@ScoopDogg did you delete your other message Scoop Dogg?
Someone in that bank wanted him out. The rest was just discriminatory toying on part of the MET.
Thats just the bitter truth.....
And whoever gave the tip off knew how to weaponise his colour against him and that by the time we sift through the rights and wrongs, he would have already lost - and has done.
Repuation, career and life destroyed.
That's what i was thinking
That's the truth jeliousy and racism
@@richb5477 truly, his own job turned on him.
This is really sad. they broke this man and he really never will be the same again... Hopefully he can somehow use this to fuel his drive to do something even bigger for himself and others.
I would sue for tens of billions. Unlawful touch without consent means he could press charges against the terrorist pigs for kidnapping, attempted murder, and rape.
Dale if you are reading this please do not settle with them financially. I know you have lost money and time but I feel its important to hold these thugs to account. Refuse to settle and take this to a court room. Have every single officer detective that was involved on the stand explaining every little detail and reasoning behind why they did this. Embarrass them. That`s the only language they understand.
Easier said than done
Absolutely agree!!! Make them pay financially
Absolutely!!!
If I were him I would be very careful, those thugs have demonstrated that they are capable of anything. They have no shame and in reality there is no law to protect him. I wouldn't take it any further. He could set up his own business for example and be as discreet as possible about his earnings and profits.
Sue them for everything you can, do not settle out of court, you were wronged, and this is a fact...they should pay for it big time. I wonder if there is such a thing as 'unfair demotion' as until you are proved guilty, how in God's name can the bank demote you?
What an absolute disgrace, as a white 71 year old man I am ashamed that this could happen in this country. I hope this man and his family can get through this and I wish them all the best.
... nah that many charges someone who knows them definitely made that up that person needs to be found
I'm 70 and I feel the same as you. And disgusted that this is happening in the 21st century. That it's the Met doing it is not a surprise. They are the most corrupt police _service_ in the UK.
Thanks for your concern, truly. but you shouldnt be surprised.
Yea, I was surprised this happened in the UK. I'm American, and that's how the US criminal justice system operates.
@@blastphantomgames6369 doesn't matter who made the charges, the job of the police is to investigate it fairly and in this case they did not, they treated him as if he was guilty from the get go and then started adding on to anything they thought could get him. I mean his nationally was easily provable but they did not, took them almost two years of torturing this man mentally and the only thing that saved them was their money to get legal representation, a poorer person would have gone down for this pent-up charges.
He will get millions in compensation, the damages are tremendous!!!
Yup!
They deserve a nice huge lawsuit!
They are begging for it.
Even as a law abiding black man with a good job and clean sheet, the police still managed to ruin his life. This is what we have to go through..
It may happen to non-white people proportionately more than to white British but it also happens to white British - quite often. There are decent police but best to play safe and assume they are rotten and record everything
Its crazy that they never checked his finances. Everything on paper and everything legal... Jealous Police or blackmailing
Envious police indeed
@Scott Vaughan if you’re sick of it why don’t you leave?
@Scott Vaughan Go and eat mushy peas and tell your mum to use other seasonings apart from water to season her food
This story is more unbelievable than a Hollywood fictional film. I'm totally flabbergasted. They ruined his career. 😱
Sort of ruined his life , not just his career. He was tainted wrongfully tainted.
more that they have ruined his life
That was there intention! 🙏🏿😢😪
Now, with job applications being automated, imagine him applying for a position at another bank or firm. He'll be disqualified straight away on questions about having a record.
They just wanted to ruin this family
Just another prime example of being falsely accuse and never ever able to live your life the way it was they went out of their way to prove that they were right regardless of what the evidence showed
This video breaks my heart of this young man Dave whom I know from kindergarten age growing up to be a ambitious and honest young man. His mother Lynette was one of my staff members in one of Montserrat's leading businesses The Metropolitan Police displayed pure Racism and because he is black. No amount of money or even apology can erase the damage done to this young family. No wonder the standard of policing has fallen to its lowest ebb. Justice must be done to Dave and his family. My prayers are with them through this psychological trauma because of the colour of their skin but we are all of the Human Race and must be treated with dignity and respect at all times.
next time an englishman you are with if you still think they are relevant says "let's sit over there" on train and moves away from godly faced male like me tell him don't be racist.
The question which we now need to ask is how many other people who could not afford £140,000 pounds for legal fees are now in jail serving 10-20 years for a crime they have not committed?
I am to repost your comment, permit me..
Channel 4 need to investigate this through open journalism
This question is so right and you don't need to be Black or Successful just a victim of the Police and it's Guilty until proven Innocent
Really makes it worse when having money and status won't keep this from happening.
How many of them committed suicide when they lost all hope
Even an apology is not enough, sue all of them!
I.e the normal thing to do
@sir Lancelot he is not an African he is from Jamaica
@sir Lancelot you bring unbelivable amount shame to your username and to the UK, completely disgusting. The UK is supposed to be a place of tolerance, of togetherness, of understanding and peace. You make me sick to my core. I hope you can get the help you need to understand how disgusting your views you have spread here. The UK is the country that has fought and fights against the views you are displaying and I hope you can understand that before you are the one driven out of a country of tolerance. Anyone who reads this please do not censor his statements, people need to know that people like this exist in the UK so the vast majority of us can fight against them. To those of you who have read his comments and are judging our county if you are from here I hope you haven't came across many like this and know that the vast majority aren't and would do anything to help or at least stop people like this from thinking the way they do. I am ashamed to know that there are people like this in the UK but I am glad I know so if I can do anything about it I will.
@For Sa he's from Britain you plonker
Apology is totally unacceptable in this case, once harm has been done to someone restoration is the only way forward. Nor should it even be considered as part of the settlement to restore his reputation, loss of income, the new status as criminal in view of the bank and each time he will complete any government document. Full law suet against the police for the wrongful arrest and the bank for the mishandling of the case against this black man.
The fact that he was suspended by his bank, and then is rehired but demoted and won't receive a promotion in the future 🤔🤔🤔🤔 as a matter of fact I'd sue the police, use that money to start my own bank
Why the heck is the agency that does something horrible like this EVER allowed to be the investigators of their own wrong-doing? There always needs to be an agency outside of police that investigates police.
Institutional racism.
You think the police or the courts have never wronged white people 😂😂😂 fucking braindead moron.
@@LordCaedus-bl7wi they probably have, that's not in dispute. However, thier skin colour would not have been a motivating factor in those circumstances. Let's not play blind.
Mo Deria I guarantee they’ve done it to Asians aswell but Asians don’t cry racism the way blacks people do. Blacks people are some of the most racist people in the world it’s unbelievable how they play the victims
@@LordCaedus-bl7wi So your POV about this whole situation is that this is not racism. The victim in this encounter is the racist. All black people are just crying racism. Also, even the racism that is exposed, the victim should not make an attempt rectify it because other races experience racism.
One of his “Co Worker’s” set the police on him. The manager position suddenly became available.
I deeply think so too. But that person won't enjoy life.
Agree
This is so sad and scary. I have sons and grandsons. How do you teach and protect them in this World?
U so rright
Its outrIght JEALOUSY....
Yup!!! My first thought
Apology??? They should be arrested!!!
Im wondering - did a jealous neighbour make a malicious 'tip off' ?
This is unacceptable.The investigators, who orchestrated this, should be held accountable and at the least should lose their job.
I'm going through this right now. I sued the police and put the money in an premium investment account. The money kept growing. The pigs have lied saying I've done money laudering. This has been going on for 2 years. 1 year in limbo. The other year I've got 3 different firms private top 3 on legal 500 fighting for my innocence I will go to the media once everything is over!
Praying for you your mother and partner!
Be well and no that you will prevail!
God will redeem all that was taken from you and more!!
Never happens!
@@jaylorenzo5620 update when you can 🙏🏾
The fact that Dale was demoted is also an outrage, he should have been reinstated in his old job with a full apology from all. This is what makes me wonder if it wasn't some envious racist creep at the bank who started the whole shameful episode.
Things like this make me lose faith in humanity. Absolutely disgusting!
What humanity???? This is the reality of people of color who happens to be well off.
What do criminals and losers (who should be distrusted based on their job / company and heritage upon first impressions) look like?
1. Wayne Couzens
2. David Carrick
3. Richard Watkinson
few hundred others
etc.
Why did his bank not give him his job back as bank manager? Strange way. The police have no evidence....
He faced egregious injustice & crippling trauma, resulting in PTSD. And, his employer failed to stand by him, despite him being a recognized, loyal employee.
Yep
Absolutely. Shocking treatment of an obviously upstanding member of the community. I hope he takes the bunch of shithouse police to the cleaners.
Unless his employer is secretly behind it
They are bankers! They hold absolutely no loyalty to anyone except themselves and their company, you are expendable and replaceable, banks are THE scum of the world
I never thought this was possible in the UK. Shame on you Met police.
You just tainted your country
What you never thought this was possible in the UK! Well they you have it,this is nothing new in the UK its just hidden and not in the media! In America its in your face,but in the UK a lot of micro-agression! Check out all video's on you tube about police brutality in the UK.
@@agnes14ish ok I will do that
U dont watch enough youtube..usually its whites getting the hassle tho..
You are just not paying attention then. the U.S. gets all the bad rap only because its covered by the media better. UK is just as bad or even worse.
@@solcutta-zt9uw Are you on crack 🤣
Some one wanted him removed from that bank manager position,
So they target everything that he owned.
They expect people to be so broke that having $2K cash is considered money laundering.
I remember having to go through all this in the 70's as an Irish person. Sue them !
Oh yeah. You guys were black before black people were black. 😭😭😭
Thanks for showing solidarity. God bless you.
@@momo-cchi5978 LOL
@Chi Laida LOL
@Chi Laida Human nature. black and irish were going to fight the institution, so WS made irish legally white to divide and conquer us.
Sounds like there’s someone dirty behind all this. Probably someone at the bank with lots of money
Ya, they never did say who this reliable source was that turned in this poor man. Probably the white man that has his position now. This is all screwy. They should have to present proof, and it was all here say, the person who reported this should be named, so that he also could be sued.
That was my first thought, this all didn't materialize from a vacuum, there has to be a hand guiding it.
Somebody who wanted his position or carried a grudge or both.
Someone at the bank, set him up, yes! Think they had lot of money no. That’s why they set him up. All in the kool-aid and don’t know the flavor.
@MGazT it’s innocent till proven guilty. Innocent is the default.
He should have shamed his employers and went to another bank. It's obvious the bank wanted to get rid of him, but chose to demote him instead so they won't get sued. There's no future with that company.
Why him? Millions of people in UK
Who wanted his position at the bank? Very sad.
My heart breaks for him. He got to where he is through hard work and determination and brought down due the melanin in his skin.
Shame on the police and his employers. I hope someone else recognises his past achievements.
I get tired of hearing all this what can't we work together and start accusing people he worked hard for his money like I did when I was growing up the only difference between him and I his skin is a little darker that's all I see. The people can't leave it alone we have some dumb and stupid people in this world.
@Aiden mmm -What’s there to like, fool? They tried to destroy him for no apparent reason and you have the audacity to talk? Racism is a disease and a malignant tumor that ought to be eradicated. Jeez
Someone higher up in bank management didn't like Dale.
This is truth!
@@144k_Kingdom_Living
Seems to have begun somewhere..jealosy
You can't say for certain.
True
That’s what I think I think that somebody that he works with did this to him because they’re jealous, of what he had, his car and he was doing well and somebody wanted make sure that he has pain in his life. That happened to my son when he was working at a fast food place here, his restaurant was the third in the state and his bosses boss, was jealous and they found out how to get rid of him and they did. It’s hard being black in America and this is 2020!
It doesn't matter what they try and do. Once you lose a person's trust, they way they feel about you is never the same. And the fact that his job took his title after he was proven innocent is eve3n worse. They had absolutelly no faith knowing he was financially able to afford the things he had. Way to have your employee's back SMH
And to think they used to railroad blacks with impunity in the past knowing totally destroying lives...They are Demons!!
