Witnessed something shocking in London today
Right next to Big Ben, a Black teenager snatched an iPhone from a tourist
The tourist chased him, caught him and started punching
I was shocked seeing this violence
"Don't worry mate, we're in the UK" said the British man next to me, sipping his tea
The police arrived in under 90 seconds
They arrested the tourist for assault
A nice officer helped the thief and apologized for this racist, distressing experience
"Here, take the phone. It's the least we can do" they told him
The Black guy nodded and drove away on his bike towards the nearest KFC
I felt completely safe for the rest of the trip knowing British police has zero tolerance for racist aggression
Say what you want about Brexit, but the British never lost their European values
