Black bank manager says arrest was motivated by race

- An award winning Black bank manager who was wrongly accused of a string of serious crimes says promises by the Metropolitan Police Commissioner to end discrimination in the force, are meaningless. Dale Semper complained to the Met almost immediately, after he was first arrested in August 2017. The Met have only now responded to the complaint five and a half years later - rejecting his claim that he would never have been arrested were it not for the colour of his skin.
This is Dale Semper's story.

I followed this case 5 years ago, I'm appalled to see it hasn't been settled. Don't give up Mr & Mrs Semper, keep going, they must be held accountable or there will never be change
It will never happen
Targeted due to jealousy by someone at his job who has friends in the police... Needs a proper independent investigation. People seem to be taking this lightly, but this was gestapo tactics. There was no legality in the police actions and as an innocent person, that would be terrorism.
The Met is often used by people who have bought many officers to do their dirty work.
Exactly what I thought. One of his co-workers initiated this
It goes to show how corrupt the law can be
Don't forget undercover Police even married activists simply to spy & disrupt.
Law abiding citizens.
My respect for police after viewing this video 📈
@@kingofracism you respect an institutionally Racist Police force.
@@dan32113 yes because they are racist 📈
and the problem here is that this poor fellow could be right but at this moment with so many cheaters using the race card with out merit or worst using the race card when you know you are menace to society, people no longer believe or have feeling about stories like this sorry his problem.
I bet Piers Morgan won't talk about this.
@@P_Dimingos Hahahaha, I bet you have been dying to counter my assertion.
Here’s the thing about Piers Morgan: I used to think he was one of these right-wing, sexist intolerant bigots (based mainly on the mainstream media reactions), but having regularly watched his programme on Talk TV, it turns out he’s simply a free-speech liberal and I find myself in tune with the bulk of his ideas.
@titteryenot4524 you need prayers...Piers is poor propaganda. Just another one. And he loves Meghan, that's all
Straight out of the gangster playbook of "law enforcement" in the United States.
Who do you think they learned it from
Straight from it
Gang gang 🤝🏻✊🏻💯👍🏻
Of course, racism does not exist in Britain.
United States is formed on Slavery & Genocide.
Join the dots
Crazy story!! I remember seeing this.
I’m not shocked at all!!! That the police investigated themselves and cleared themselves
'We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing' lol
That’s the madness yes they were evil and then they cleared themselves
Mayor khan's London police abduct and torture a man in Essex and when he was released Sussex police torture him and battered and poisoned him in Sussex for Albanian mafia again over weekend using mental health act. Racist fascists. Sack all the police and close down NHS as they're hijacked by gangsters in UK stealing organs homes money towns and running operation Costello making people fall down as police keep knocking them down sick ai bots with no compassion
This is the part I can't understand how can the same people investigate their self?🕵️😳 Are you telling me their is know law higher than the police force to give people justice when they brake the laws to please their EGOS
Sounds like Dale had bigger enemies than the police, someone was jealous and used the police for revenge
Exactly!!! Was thinking the same.
That's correct, which is why I say that this Dale guy is a character. He knows exactly or has a very good idea as to who this person is that set him up. It's probably a friend who is a criminal who wanted him to commit some kind of bank fraud since he is a bank manager. I'll bet my Laker tickets on this.
Yes, but if the police can be used like this, then it is rotten.
We stand with Dale.
I was shocked and outraged when i had watched this a couple of years back. It is still so present in my understanding of racism.
@@kevinb9830shut up! it’s racism simple as that stop trying to be ignorant

@@kevinb9830 "I did. I repeat the question." How often do you think white bank managers are arrested on false charges of possessing a firearm, money-laundering and arranging a sham marriage? You would have to be an utter moron to imagine there wasn't a racial component here.
@@paxundpeace9970 "You never watched the video." Agreed. If they had tried to lynch the guy whilst holding torches wearing white hoods you would still get someone questioning whether it was racist.
The Met has a dark culture that is beyond imagination
@JaredNovel,
Hear! HEAR!!!
devastating for this man! the police should be fined as a whole! the police should apologize openly for this crime.
The MET needs huge ranging reform for sure and apologies could be much more forthcoming, but it doesn't own wealth - fining it and or any other policing body in the UK would literally just be fining the British public.
Reminds me of the black kid who got tasered when he did nothing wrong…fell and got PARALYZED…and STILL they didn’t admit ANY wrongdoing!!! Pure nasty !!!
I can’t imagine the embarrassment and humiliation this man and family went through at work and with the neighbours over this unwarranted police attention. They need to get their cheque book out asap and write a hefty cheque also some heads need to roll. There needs to be more structural accountability and improvements if you want the public’s support and trust.
"a combination of incompetence and institutional racism".....very true.
Wow, kudos to C4 for covering something of real value that deserves to be highlighted
Which police officer or which random person accused him of all these false claims? Some people have nothing better to do!
Exactly what I was thinking! Someone ("friend" or colleague) has set him up. Probably someone at his own branch and/or someone jealous of him winning Best Bank Manager 6x
Him being black would have raised their suspicions I guess.
@zen7349That is completely idiotic. He's rich and successful. He gains nothing from this kind of scheme and getting arrested could have ruined his whole career. There are plenty of companies that would fire you for being arrested, whether you are actually charged or not.
@@richardtbrown756 You hit the nail on the head here. But he's being a fool by trying to make this look as if it's the fault of the Police and his lawyers are to blame for this. It's funny how his lawyers keep avoiding this clear fact.
Happened to a friend of mine. Pulled for driving offence, they put him in lock up for 48 hours. Searched his house. Frightened his kids. They found 400 quid, he's a tattooist, it's a cash business most of the time. That was last year. He still hasn't been discharged, still hasn't been charged and no money returned. His surname is Malone. I think what we have here is racism, classism and every damn ism you can think of. It's the police with their us and them mentality but they have all the power. The Met is rotten! I've never been in trouble in my life, but I keep my distance from met police.
Isn't Malone an Italian name?
400 quid ?? that is verrrry suspicious ..........
Mind Begs the Question:
Anti Semitism - Sternly dealt with
Racism,Islamophobia - If not Equally Sternly dealt with
Equality,Elitist?
The police will always treat black people differently because on average they commit more crimes. I'm not saying any single black person did commit a crime but the police finds it a reason to become agitated and harass black people as a frustrated attempt to protect the community.
1:33 He's a bank manager, of course he's gonna have cash. Who's gonna borrow from a bank with no money!? 🤣
My advise to Dale and his partner is go to James O'Brien and let him speak to the Mayor. You will surely get a response from the useless Head Of Met. I am livid on your behalf because this is surely a dent in one's well being and daily life. The MET is racist, lets not kid ourselves and it needs a lot of overhaul.
Not surprising since you don’t need much education to work for the police
I feel pain for them they had to deal with this years ago and at first I thought why is C4 repeating this it’s an old story …but no…in the UK 🇬🇧 where we hold ourselves in high regard for our freedom since the Magna Carta such evil persists tearing at the mental peace and life blood of this beautiful couple ….there must be accountability …the race card isn’t even relevant it’s just outrageous but it could happen to any of us I’m sure if that regardless of color
The MET is hopeless , not racist , 76% of their officers have failed to make an arrest in the past year , while London becomes the crime cesspit of the world

@@HumanBeingsRThinkingBeings since most racism is carried out by Middle east / Asian Muslims on blacks , why do you think they are one homogenous group ?
But isn't being corrupt and racist an essential "quality" that The Met looks for in its recruitment process?
looooooooooooool
🤣🤣🤣 That's hilarious
@@richardtbrown756 but strangely the Met were found to be institutionally corrupt & racist.
The system enables right-wing racist applicants.
There can be no other reason, for such an unaccountable corrupt system.
One of the Murderers of Steven Lawrence avoided justice for years because his Dad was connected as an informant to the Met Police
Yes, they don't want to *vet properly.*
No MRI imagery at all, let alone executed on a regular basis, no regular drugs testing, no deep background investigation including the interviewing of those from past intimate (family/romantic/sexual/platonic) relationships.
All one must need to be is a racist, casteist, misogynoirist, misogynist, queerphobe, nationalist, Anti-Social personality disordered, cruel thug gang member.
I was gonna add a history of domestic violence and animal abuse also gets you fast tracked to met I believe haha
That police force needs to be investigated.
Baroness Casey’s down-to-earth assessment of police behaviour was heart-warmingly brilliant. It gives us some real hope for change.
Oh please
Change? Hahahaha. Remember Stephen Lawrence? Things got worse, if anything.
The met investigating itself said it did nothing wrong. No conflict of interest here!
absolutely outrageous situation
😂😂😂😂
@@kingofracismshut up!
Should sue the Met for a lot of money. Not that they would care, it's not their money. Same with their amazing pensions and overtime. Police have become so incompetent and so entitled at the same time.
The absolute gall of the Met trying to claim they’re not racist
When dealing with institutions like the police and a case like this, filing a complaint is just following the process to get to your next course of action which is taking them to court. Get your lawyers set on these guys and go for maximum damage claim.
Couldn’t agree more! I hope he gets the ball rolling with civil action ASAP as he only has 6 years and the police have already wasted 5 and a half of them.
@@nocommentuk but he did it , there is just not enough evidence to prosecute.
@@bigbinji6145 Innocent until proven guilty. He wasn’t even charged with anything. You say he did “it”, but what exactly is “it”? He was arrested for firearms but police didn’t find any, then it changed to money laundering after finding not even £2k in his safe at home, which he was able to account for. So what are you accusing him of and what is your evidence?
@@nocommentuk yes, the criminal classes love their new human rights , ie get away with murder as police struggle to solve crime due to a barrowload of 'rights' for vile and digusting law breakers
Yes but most people can’t make a claim against these rats , you need 6 figures
I am white foreigner married to African man, having two kids, and trust me I have experienced racism not only for myself but my kids and husband has been targeted by natives.
I am white and have experienced racism. Bl a ck kids in a car shouting out the window saying it was a night out for the Hitler youth. Racism comes in all colours. 🙃
Someone had it out for this man.
This is what happens when you allow public institutions who can only answer to themselves or flawed cabinet appointees.
Why isn't this front page news everywhere? This is outrageous
As a black person living in London I can say clearly that I do not have confidence in the MET!
When the same issues keep recurring at some point we have to look at the organisation, it’s structure and it’s leadership.
To perpetuate racism is a choice and at this point the choices the MET is making are evident!!
Move to Japan much easier life broski
As a white person living in England, I don't have ANY confidence in ANY police force.
The Met are an embarrassment
@@Kushprincess66The police will always be on edge with black people because they see them as a risk of comiting more crime, which sadly is true, so even if there is an innocent person they will always treat them with suspicion and maybe harass them.
try moving to Saudi , you'll discover what real racism is when the Arab boys unload
3 years ago my cousin snitched on me, and made my life chaos, 3 years they have not found evidence of what he said to the police. Now the police do not reply to my email calls nothing.
I lost my university I have ptsd no sleep at all.
Yesterday they called me said your case is dropped and sent email confirmation.
Then I called back to check again, they said no your case still ongoing.
They are playing with my head.
I ask god to penetrate them.
I feel you Dale brother keep going.
I was thinking that it was probably a spiteful person who initiated all of this by making false claims. Sorry to hear about your situation.
Boy , black people from the Caribbean need to vote and put cameras everywhere they can, lawfully of course. Vote and get involved in organisations that help keeping you safe.
How about other non carribean black people?
Of course it’s racist to state that he is from Africa or Jamaica when he has told them that he is not from those places and they have no proof whatsoever that he is from anywhere other than Montserrat. The whole attitude they showed this couple was racist. Outrageous and disgusting behaviour on the part of the police. No wonder so many people detest them.
They should pursue a civil case against them
i hve been following this story since it broke, absolutely gross behaviour by the Police
NO, It's gross behavior by his lawyers and him for not telling the real truth about this story. Dale knows exactly what's going on and he is lying
I just don't understand why they can not admit they were wrong! The relationship between the police and the public is built on distrust. If they own up to their mistake then maybe the public won't be as hostile when dealing with the police, leading to better interactions and actually a solution to the situation. Instead the Mets' lies are damaging to society especially to black people and people living in poverty.
They won't admit to racial profiling because it isn't a case of racial profiling. The police has both an obligation and a right to investigate people they suspect of being involved in crime. We don't know the reasons why the investigation was launched.
@andrewsmith3613 Absolutely but they still made a mistake. Left the man without a job, PTSD. Let's be honest too they would not have investigated this much into a white bank manager. Whatever their motivate was, it is clear that they hurt this family and so a proper investigation and apology from the Met shouldn't have to be this jarring. It shows they were wrong
@@saimbot99 Why do you think they would not have investigated a white bank manager with equal vigour? Many of the investigating officers were themselves likely black.
Then they would have to admit that it was all down to racism and they want to keep pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes.
Ppl from Montserrat carry British Passport the same as ppl from Hong-Kong. Black ppl been used & abused for far too long in this system. 5yrs to respond, man if this was in America Dale would of gotten atleast 10mill from a lawsuit
Another great piece of journalism by C4. I hope Mr. Semper finds the justice he deserves. The Met we can see clearly what is happening here.
Who can you trust if you can't trust the law to look out for you. Maybe a jealous racist colleague started this or someone else who took a dislike to him!
This is an old story and I am shocked their problems are not resolved yet😮
I thought it was solved as well.
It's unlikely this man would get any justice. MET Police are known to contain racist far right scum in thier ranks. The whole system is corrupt and racist. MET Police needs to be disbanded and new and better force needs to be trained.
We stand with you.
Still don't wait for it to change if change can't get achieved.
Put your own life first.
I really hope they get their day in court!!!!
I wish the man in the video all the blessing may he live a life of peace, harmony, and blessings in this life and all his generations....May all your hard work pay off... Gods watchjng and will bless you.
Dale, sometimes iam ashamed to be British..I wish you well.
This is why I love channel 4. It brings out the normal public and gives them a voice. And damn right the police is institutionally racist 💯
Channel 4 is making serious advertising revenue on this story. They don't care
@willowwale2000 your right they are. And they are bias so. I need to take that comment off
Vile behaviour from the met. Disgusting
the met needs to be defunded
It's not easy to be à black person
And the met did nothing regarding the criminals in Downing Street
Is anyone in the UK surprised?
Thank you for the update on this case. Have any other news outlets covered it? C4News is the only channel to have done a thorough job.
It’s somebody in the bank not the police who are responsible
That's my thoughts.
No, a bad actor in the bank or one of his neighbours got jealous or upset about him & his position/possessions. Then they used the police & their twisted ways, to try to ruin him..
People who have got learning difficulties they are being stopped checked out.
If you're not coloured and live in the UK, this is what we have to deal with on a daily basis. Yes we don't get arrested but prejudice is there right their on people's faces. Its the subtle backhanded comments.
What are you referring to ? Please could you explain what you mean
Evidence - or the lack of it - is the name of the game. No doubt this man's lawyer can obtain details.
Crazy man! Shed a tear for this family.
Stop it 😂
I TRULEY FEEL for YOU- BE STRONG, THE GOOD LORD WILL BLESS YOU BOTH!!!
'Malicious' complaints... Basically they say that the public are lying and bulllying them... boo hoo.
It's the logic of calculation. 72K How to buy 14 properties. If the police thought he got 14 properties, they can check in Land registry.
They could also have easily checked on his birth certificate, passport, citizenship and employment status. They didn’t want to check because it would have meant they would have had to stop harassing him for no damn reason.
Woow how can this happen so racist!!!! They ruined a large part of his life
Its not just racism its an overall incompitence of the police. I'm shocked that the police officer involved couldn't be pursued.
Good luck to you both, I hope you get justice, closure
I sincerely hope this beautiful couple get the justice they deserve, and those racist demons are sacked.
I've been following this story for years. Finally...
What are the chances that the officers involved read the Daily Mail, watch GB "news" and voted for brexit?
Probably vote for UKIP or Reclaim political party as well.
This is one of the many reasons why the Met needs to be completely disbanded and rebuilt from the ground.

Hmmm. Nope.
Five and a half years???
Why doesn’t he sue them?
From my experience Notts police is also racist.
My respect for notts police 📈📈📈📈
Hard working black man is still being treated like a criminal by the Metropolitan Police in London.
i know blacked / mixed people in my warehouse who told me they got picked on roads by police, they wait for that right or quiet or cowardly moment so they can act or get leverage by sin around them to do whatever foul plan they want.
It's a pity the met aren't so quick at going after rapist fellow officers
Wow, wrote to the commisioner twice and received no reply...after what his force have done to them?
Thank you so much BARONESS CASEY OF BLACKSTOCK for pointing out A very true point all none white families have to teach our children due to the fact were classed as guilty for just being Black and we always have to keep our evidence just in case as we are accused.
There is absolutely no genuine intent from the Metropolitan police in the Slightest. To genuinely attempt to operate under true law and order.
exactly the only reason compensation was given to the man was because it picked up media pace and limelight. the evil quantum effect or consciousness and forceof them acting when being observed.
Commiserations to this poor bloke. With the benefit of hindsight, I sincerely hope that lessons will be learned this time and racial profiling procedures will be reviewed thoroughly and vigorously to ensure that this doesn't occur again on UK soil. Resolve and meaningful dialogue, not the usual lip service given by opportunistic career politicians or useless Mayors
My respect for police 📈

“ until we all wake up…”
Perhaps Dame Casey should address her words above to the Home Secretary- famous for her anti- woke rant.
Plausible deniability is alive and well.
After five and a half years, the awful truth is that this is just another sinister example of the closing of ranks among the policing fraternity to protect their officers from prosecution and imprisonment.
At some stage perhaps the bank might care to tell the public how their bank manager ends up being treated this way….
Lesson: The police hate it when you have more than them..
Where is his million pound compensation
It's racism and jealousy. Corruption 😮 is written all over.
The Met should be ashamed of themselves.Jus because they are hard working good black people they can't take it .
Lies lies lies
Big up to this couple stay brave
Peace and love
The Case produced no evidence to support the alleged criminal behaviour, case drop totally. The life that he built for himself honestly and fairly was taken away and not restored. So sad...
I hope he sues the heck out of the police. All police officers involved should be fired.
Totally incorrect. Neither you nor I know the initial reason why the investigation was launched. The investigation was carried out and no charges were brought. End of. It's a complete non-story.
@@andrewsmith3613
Wrong - the police acted out of order & his career got damaged by it..
Was there an update? May have missed it.
I keep seeing met police 👮♂️ in bad state on UK news. I believe race played factor in this situation.
I have also had an accusation of owning firearms made about me, based on a Facebook comment I wrote about American gun laws. I've never even held a gun. I know nothing about cleaning or maintaining or using them. Added to which I'm disabled by severe arthritis. I've taken TWO court cases relating to this situation, in the civil courts and won, but the police harassment just continues, they lied that they lost my entire records! I really don't know what to do about it, The Met seem unstoppable when they get the bit between their teeth about someone. From the records I've had, they seem convinced that I am not really ill. Its so frustrating. They make accusations about my mental health too, which is very frustrating given that everything I have said was happening HAS actually happened and eventually gets proven. They have destroyed my reputation, and all for revenge over putting a social worker's name online.
... MOST HIGH bless you brother...
Probably came from a racist neighbour calling the police.
He was suspended from his respected bank manager for 15 months!
It's just God and time. Our God is working it out for Dale & Denise. Keep the FAITH.....
It's horrible !! I'm in shock watching it.
This stinks to high heaven.
This is Great Britain…. The story continues as long as you’re black…. Sad….. Jealousy is written all over it. Don’t trust anybody.
