I've watched & read about a lot of homicides over the years. Mostly use of lethal force in self defence or defence of others but many other types of cases also. I read a lot about the police killings of unarmed black men in the USA actually before George Floyd was killed, because there had been several contentious cases even before that. Also school shootings. I read a fair bit about Columbine, Sandy Hook, & Virginia Tech which was a particularly nasty one. In the USA they publish a lot more police reports & bodycam so it's easier to research. Anyway, the hype over police officers killing black men is a false narrative when you study many of the case details & take everything into account. Obviously there have been instances of killings which were completely unjust but as I explained the other day, disparity in arrest rates can be explained by many factors that don't add up to police in general going out & targeting black people. But, the US has been taken over by critical race theory now where everything is viewed from the perspective that black people are being deliberately persecuted. Critical race theory has now made it to the UK as we found out from the hearing into Valdo Calocane. The fact that the NHS are more concerned with the optics of sectioning black men, even though they are 3-5 times likely to develop schizophrenia, than keeping violent dangerous psychopaths off of our streets is appalling & should be cause for concern for any right thinking member of the public, & this links back to Henry Nowak where he was instantly presumed racist. His killer even knew he could trick the officer if he cried racism. The government & police are also concerned with the number of young black men in prison. So we can probably look forward to lighter sentencing for young black criminals soon. Anyway. This is the current state of the UK.
