Found not guilty
odd conclusion for me. If you call someone an idiot then you think they are an idiot - call someone (insert skin colour here) Idiot then for me you introduce a race element

Swap the word white for black or other such words and she would be found guilty. How on earth has she been found not guilty?

Might be not guilty but she will always be a ugly ****.
She wasn't on trial for mentioning race. She was on trial for racially aggravated harassment. Clearly the jury didn't believe the cop involved when he said he felt "shocked, upset and humiliated". I have to say, regardless of what kind of person I think Sam Kerr is, I don't don't believe that policeman felt that way either.odd conclusion for me.

Guarantee she would think it was racism if someone in the crowd was using similar language towards her
Sounds a right cow

Can you have a workable law based on the sensitivities of the victim rather than the offence?She wasn't on trial for mentioning race. She was on trial for racially aggravated harassment.

Quite right knew she would get away with it!!! If the shoe was on the other foot no chance!!!soft left judge and I am sure our dear politicians were involved on getting her off!!The word she seemed to love throwing around "privilege."

Evidently not. The CPS originally said the case didn't meet the threshold for prosecution and then changed their mind 10 months after event when the officer made a second statement where he made those claims.

When you say something racist there's no excuse. I thought anyway.
I can understand she was saying "you are white hence priveleged" but that defence has set a precedent that will be exploited. Fkin idiots, just making it worse down the line, for all.

May have been found Not Guilty but the whole case was a PR disaster - came across as very self entitled and generally a right nasty piece of work.

Not a good look for a supposed role model of Australian sport. She may have been found not guilty in the eyes of the law but does not come out of this smelling of roses.May have been found Not Guilty but the whole case was a PR disaster - came across as very self entitled and generally a right nasty piece of work.

She doesn't but life won't change drastically for her, if at all, I'd imagineNot a good look for a supposed role model of Australian sport. She may have been found not guilty in the eyes of the law but does not come out of this smelling of roses.

She's hardly covered herself in glory but it's a bigger PR disaster for the Met in my opinion. Terrible policing from start to finish. Lies told in aftermath, decisions taken that escalated the situation and decisions taken that put civilians in the way of harm.

I think it was the "and" that saved her in the eyes of the jury.

I’m trying to think what the outcome would be if I went out later, found someone of a different colour skin to me and said what she said, with that persons skin colour at the end of the sentence.
