In reality, we must thank the community manager in question for using the popular social networks of the National Police, there is nothing, to definitively clarify what had been collective suspicion: As far as Spanish football is concerned, there is racism unless it occurs in a certain placethere are racists unless they are fans of a certain team, there are no victims unless they have a certain name.
Even the error theory is defended, it would be necessary more, but if it was, it turns out that they all committed it practically at the same time: because to the famous tweet on Saturday with an image of the Metropolitano, later replaced by a van from the security force itself, it is seen that they no longer had photographs of stadiumsit is convenient to add an official black-on-white note and a video in which a police spokesperson manages in two minutes to do exactly the same thing: not mentioning the venue in which the events occurred, the club that owns it or the affiliation of the fans who shouted insults, not even mentioning the players who received them.
to what or Who are the police afraid of?Precisely the police, so verbose in other cases?
The Jupol spokesperson’s media outing is still remembered, for example. after the last derby to charge, look, against the great rival in the city of the team that now causes such amnesia.
Of course, returning to the case at hand, a good part of the media that replicated the information throughout the day did exactly the same. Copy, paste and something else. Like when Vinicius said that he has managed to put three or four people in jail and there was no one who answered truthfully: a prison sentence is not the same as going to prison, so no one is locked up for harassing the Brazilian.
Let’s remember it once and for all, this column is not going to fall into exactly what it intends to denounce: it was at the Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid’s fiefdom, where several Real Madrid fans insulted Barcelona footballers, Lamine Yamal but not only Lamine Yamal, because of their color. of his race. Of course it was a regrettable minority and We should not put all the spectators who filled the stadium that day in the same bag… but that, precisely that, is what has been done recently with those of the aforementioned Metropolitan, with those of Mestalla or with those of Son Moix. Giving names, of course.
The police are not stupid, the expression goes, so they intended to report, even if reluctantly and upon request, that three people had been arrested for the insults in question. If close precedents are to be guided by, those people would have been on the streets for days by the time the tweet, note and video came to light.but the fact is that they had to go through the police station, who knows if through the cell, after having done that to those people and in that place.
He racism the one you are telling me about…
One more time, we must refer to the great Groucho: “I think it’s very clear. Hang me if I understand it.”

And meanwhile, Antiviolencia has been watching videos for a month. It happens today, in fact, because that Classic was played on October 26. Curious, because the said Commission is made up, among others, of representatives of the National Police Corps, who could ask their colleagues about the three detainees in question (double versus simple that at the next “fortnightly” meeting a sanction will be proposed for them). Curious, because one day after the game there were televisions showing frontal shots in which the identity of those who insulted could clearly be seen. Curious, because In the end it will seem easier to identify a masked person than a person who shows his face. Curious, all curious. Too curious.
