Why are they strip searching kids and why are they doing it in public?

    Because it's about dehumanizing and terrorizing marginalized groups. That's it. No other reason.

    Also cops are usually republicans and republicans are pedophiles

    In the UK too the coppers tend to be rightwing (not just the "mild" Far-Right Tory but actually the extreme Far -Right Reform) and judging by all the Brits that were involved with the Epstein, the pedophilia thing might also apply.

    Certainly in my personal experience they mainly act as willful minions of the very rich and are very Racist.

    Because sometimes kids carry illegal shit, and because they're fuckers, respectively.

    I thought you were saying kids are fuckers but then reread and think you mean the cops doing strip searches. You can pat someone down and empty pockets to see what someone is carrying. Strip searches impose an unnecessary burden on people. Forcing someone to be naked in public seems like a disservice to everyone.

    Yeah I mean the police.

    Sometimes people hide stuff in their arsecrack and you won't find that with a pat down. And because gang leaders are also fuckers, they'll get kids to do that too.

    There is never any reason to do it in public. British police also should not force someone undergoing a strip search to be naked at any point,.in public or otherwise; they should put their top back on before taking bottoms off.
