A racist who repeatedly abused police officers and shouted 'n*****' in a supermarket at the top of his voice has been jailed.
Ficra Udale, 27, from Stockport, has been locked up for two years after subjecting his victims to the 'most appalling abuse'.
He was also sentenced for a number of offences against a former girlfriend.
The court heard that Udale was taken into care aged 13 and 'went wild' committing almost 100 offences in the following years, often fuelled by drink or drugs.
A Manchester Crown Court sentencing hearing heard that the first offence happened on May 7 last year, as he was being detained by door staff at the New York New York club in the Gay Village.
Police were called and Udale was racially abusive to officers, who were both of Asian ethnicity, prosecutor Alistair Reid said.
"You little p*** b*******," he told the two officers.
His tirade of abuse continued after being put in the police van, where officers said he used the word 'p***' at least 10 times.
After arriving at the station, he threatened to spit at the officers and 'knock them out', saying 'I will knock you out cold in one punch, take off my cuffs'.
One of the officers said they had been racially abused before during their 10 year police career, but that on that one night they had suffered more racial abuse than in the rest of their service previously.

In an interview with police, he admitted the language he used was 'disgusting' and said some members of his own family were of an Asian ethnic background.
He said it was out of character, and added: "I can promise I will never do it again."
However, months later Udale was racially abusing people again.
At about 8.45am he was lay apparently comatose on a table in the adjoining McDonald's at Asda in Hulme.
Staff called for an ambulance but he roused himself as walked off.
Udale, who appeared to be drunk, was then seen in Asda trying to steal a sandwich.
After being challenged, he was racially abusive and started shouting 'n*****' at the top of his voice.
When the police arrived, he spat at a police officer and called him a 'p*** b******'.
Between those two incidents, Udale had also been abusive towards a woman who he had spent three months in a relationship with.
The relationship was said to be violent, during which she was regularly called a 'slag' or 'sket', the court heard.
In October last year she was called by Udale, who threatened to smash her car up and burn down her mother's home.
The following day she spotted him as she drove away from her home.
Udale ran after the car and caught up. In a moment of panic she got out of the car and ran away.
He then drove her car, following her and shouting abuse.
He got out and she was then able to drive off to safety.
Udale was also sentenced for two offences of breaching a restraining order by making two phone calls, which he was banned from doing.
On one occasion he threatened to kill her and burn her mother's house down, and he then subsequently demanded that she 'retract the f******' statement' she had given to police about his behaviour.
In a victim statement, she said: "He has made me scared to leave my flat. I have had enough of this man."
The court heard that Udale has 50 previous convictions, for 96 offences.
Defending, Martin Sharpe said Udale became 'out of control' at the age of 13 and went into care.
He said Udale 'doesn't think before he does something', has 'serious behavioural problems' and is 'incredibly immature'.
"He (Udale) is a young man who desperately needs help," Mr Sharpe added.
Sentencing, Judge Martin Rudland said his offending was 'the result of uncontrolled behaviour largely fuelled by alcohol or controlled drugs'.
"You went wild and committed many offences over the years," the judge said.
The judge described the incident in Asda as 'disgraceful'.
"You subjected him in public to the most appalling abuse, referring to his black ethnicity, using the word n***** at the top of your voice," Judge Rudland said.
"That is just simply not acceptable.
"That particular store serves people who live peacefully together who are from very different ethnic backgrounds.
Udale, of Goldsmith Road, Reddish, was sentenced for three counts of using racially aggravated public order offences, one public order offence, one count of assaulting an emergency worker, an offence of taking a vehicle without the owner's consent, an malicious communications offence and two counts of breaching a restraining order.
