Armed police officers who stopped and searched a group of innocent black men at gunpoint on a UK street have called their actions 'justified' after horrified members of the public slammed them for being 'racist'.
Merseyside Police came under intense fire after a shocking video of cops armed with guns, performed a stop and search on two young men on a street in Toxteth, Liverpool, Merseyside.
The clip shows officers stood behind the doors of two police cars as they hold large black rifles aimed at the men, who are seen standing on the pavement with their arms in the air.
