Shabna Begum, head of the Runnymede Trust, a race equality think tank, said political exploitation of murders is not new, “but the febrile context in which it is currently advanced makes it exceptionally dangerous”.

“The knee-jerk reaction of police leaders and politicians hurriedly committing to reviewing anti-racism guidance betrays the fact that decades of inquiries and reports have found that these efforts have made little to no difference to the over-policing of communities of colour – especially young Black men. Black people are seven times more likely to die following police restraint in Britain. There is two-tier policing – but not one that favours communities of colour,” she said.

As usual, completely ignoring the obvious fact that young black men are much more likely to be involved in crime than the average, which is why they end up restrained, so why they're more likely to die as a result.

It's not exploitation, it's discussion of facts. The official police guidelines are racist against white people, this case highlights that.

As ever, politicians over-compensated for wrongs in the past - the Steven Laurence case should have ensured neutrality, instead it went the other way.

They are more likely to be arrested and imprisoned due to systemic racism.
Criminologists and official reviews emphasize this overrepresentation reflects a complex mix of socioeconomic disparities, geographic location, and systemic biases within the criminal justice system.

It's your ardent racism influencing your decision to interpret urban mythology as facts.

Same as hand guns, self loading shot guns etc. One or two nutcases go on a shooting spree and they get banned for everyone. IMO it's time to end the religious exemption for bladed articles. They should be free to carry a symbolic knife.

The human race can survive without guns, even thrive. Some of the earliest tools known to man are cutting tools.

Absolute rubbish. You're letting idealism rule over reality.

They do more wrong stuff. Police can end up targeting them because they're more likely to be involved.

You're muddling up cause and effect.

Or are you suggesting that they get upset due to all the nasty racism, and their mental state makes them do bad stuff?!
