*** Youtube/Video thread ***

I believe the 1st rule of posting a YT video is to start with "Hi Guys" and end with "Don't forget to hit the Like button, share this video and subscribe. Follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram... 'til next time...peace".
:rolleyes:

So do I. When someone is being told to leave somewhere by someone whose job includes doing that and they reply with the "you can't touch me" line, I'm inclined to think it's not harassment.

Exactly. I can't help but think Mo was being a bit naughty and they didn't like it. These are some if the most proffessional security in the world, they've got far more important things to look out for than some guy standing in an area that says "don't stand here" or whatever he was doing.

Did Mo play the race card? I'm sure I read somewhere that he did on social media somewhere. If so that's pretty weak.
 
had heard the same on R4/R5
n a statement issued to MailOnline, a spokesman for the German police said: 'On the way to his flight, Sir Mo Farah had to pass the security check in Terminal 2 at Munich Airport.

'Security checks at Munich Airport are carried out by a private security company on behalf of the State of Bavaria. It seems that Sir Mo Farah did not agree with this passenger security check performed on him and blamed this check a racist measure. Obviously he was very upset.

'As Farah didn't want to leave the security check point, security staff asked the Federal Police officer seen in the video for support.

'In co-operation with the security staff's supervisor the officer tried to explain this routine measure to Sir Mo Farah and to calm him down. Unfortunately that didn't work.

'Then the officer asked him to leave the security check point because he was blocking the area. Farah got more and more upset. He continued arguing and blaming security staff and the Federal Police officer of being racist

'At that point, Farah started filming the sensible security check point area which is now allowed. The officer asked him to stop recording.

'As Farah ignored this police order the officer asked him to leave the security control area and proceed to his departure gate.

'Farah persistently ignored this second police order so the officer slightly touched him and tried to direct him away from the security check point area to the shopping and gate section what you can see in the video.

'Finally, the federal police officer was properly carrying out his duty. I cannot see any indications of racial harassment by the federal police officer at all.'

A spokesperson for Mo Farah said: 'Mo stands by his statement and has lodged a formal complaint with Munich Airport and the German Federal Police.'

Hopefully the officer he accused will lodge a formal complaint against him. I think the officer would have a good case for libel, given the seriousness of the offence he has been very publically accused of and the total lack of any evidence that he's guilty of it. It's certainly something that should be contested in court, under legal rules, and not on social media where all that matters is power.

It probably won't happen, but I think it should.
