Indeed, no police officer has been convicted for a death in the UK since 1971.
Wow no convictions of police for a death in the last 50 years.
Oh, and look, if you don't tell the court the guards are hate-mongering racists, they don't get convicted!
Or ‘Justice for Jimmy Mubenga!’ That last one certainly should have been familiar, given that at the time of the protest three G4S security guards were on trial for his manslaughter, Mubenga having died in their custody while being deported from the UK. His last words, like Eric Garner’s, were ‘I can’t breathe’. The verdict? Not guilty, after evidence of two of the guards’ virulent racism was ruled inadmissible.
Looks like those regulators are doing a top job.
