Equality in the police? Well, roughly 1 in 7 cops are BAME. Also, roughly 1 in 7 people in the UK are BAME. There's equality.


Also, the police did that ridiculous knee thing. They wanted to demonstrate that they are not racist. I guess taking the knee is something racist people do to pretend they're not racist, right?


Besides, it's not as binary as you seem to think. Equality is not the polar opposite of racism. You can think all races are equal while being sexist. You can be racist while promoting equality between sexes.


Your first link is too long for me to bother reading. I scanned until I got to De Menzes, a Brazilian who was shot by cops. That's murky as fuck and we don't know why he was shot. Officially, he was misindentified, but he was apparently running from cops. To say he was shot because of racism is as valid as saying he was shot because he knew something that the state did not want him to disclose. It's pure speculation based on no evidence whatsoever. The facts of this incident were covered up. I didn't read beyond that


The second link is an Independent article which provides only speculation, such as "we strongly believe..." and "non-white people may have been given more fines...", and you proudly quote someone's opinion as though it's evidence.

Serious question. Did you real all that first article that you linked? Do you expect me to? Is there any direct evidence of racism? Or is it yet more speculation?
