Two Liverpool fans were taken to court after police allegedly deemed their chants of “Yanks Out” against the club’s controversial owners as “racist.” The fans were hauled off the streets by officers during a peaceful protest against the American multi-millionaires Tom Hicks and George Gillett before the Liverpool game against Arsenal at Anfield in mid-December.
They were taken to a police station, kept for six hours, before being charged with “an offence of public order.” A month later, at court the Crown Prosecution Service immediately withdrew their case due to a perceived lack of evidence.
