The BBC article is citing "the last ten years", while citing this link... https://policeconduct.gov.uk/sites/d...es_2018_19.pdf
If we assume both are accurate, then we're making significant progress in terms of the number of people dying in police custody, and based on the last ten years, there is no reason to think that racism is a relevant factor.

Yeah, that is better.

So, if your happy the police are at least stopping themselves from killing POC I guess it's all good.

164 in ten years. Population 66 million. It's not out of the question that all of them died as a result of natural causes, drug overdose, or complications from the use of legitimate police force. 164 is a tiny, tiny number for a decade in a country like this.

And the fact these figures do not show a racial bias, I mean it's pretty much case closed for me. All you have is black people are 11x more likely to be asked what they're doing. That for me is wholly insufficient for me to think there is a problem with racism in the UK police, especially when we factor in deaths in police custody. I'm inclined to think it's a combination of multiple cultural factors.

Stop and search is a bit more intrusive than that.

And no, it's not all I have. I haven't bothered to go looking for more, but the rates of incarceration someone else posted were also concerning.

Lol, as long as they're not deliberately killing POC, anything else they do is okey dokey.

I'm inclined to think it's a combination of multiple cultural factors.

Oh yes, the proud culture of mouthing off in ways that make the police want to pat you down.
