But he's probably right (and he's certainly the most qualified to comment on this incident). I'm pretty sure if I had walked up and said, "Is everything all right? I'm a medical doctor in case you need a hand with anything." the situation would have gone much differently.

Furthermore, even if he isn't right, there is plenty of evidence of a growing white nationalism/racism in this country that the article wouldn't be any less relevant if you could somehow prove that these four particular officers are not racist.

But he didn't identify himself as a doctor. I can't help feel the encounter may have gone differently if he had.

Not that the behaviour is any more acceptable if he was just a random passer by.
