  • A Racist Force (1999): In 1999 a report condemned British Police as 'institutionally racist.' We asked if anything had changed after a year.

    "The killers are at large… simply because, here in Britain, police think black life is cheap." This is the feeling of Sukhdev Reel, mother of murdered black teenager Ricky Reel whose death has never been resolved. The increasing hostility between the police and Britain's black population culminated in a very public showdown after a bungled investigation into the murder of black teenager Stephen Lawrence. In 1993 Lawrence was fatally stabbed by a gang of racist white youths. The investigations were so flawed that despite witness accounts none of his killers have ever been brought to justice. A public Inquiry into the Lawrence case concluded in February 1999 that the British Police were 'institutionally racist'. Now, one year on, the Metropolitan Police have a new Commissioner. He gives us his word that the police are changing. In the meantime, the McGowan family of Telford have lost both son Errol and his nephew Jason. They were both found hanging in similar circumstances after Errol spoke of his terror of a white gang. The deaths have been classified as suicide and again the family feel let down. "We want justice!" They feel the same as Ricky's mother; "If my son were white, his killers would be behind bars."

    This is 22 years out of date. Worth having in an online library but why re-post it now?

      @@shookoneldn300 22 years at the time of airing, yes. The further you go back towards the 60's they were even worse and more corrupt than now. I think that's why the "Flying Squad" was disbanded.
      For sure there will always be that element in the Met and the fuzz in general. But they've also gotten more "woke" and arresting people over speech that "causes anxiety" and unpopular opinions on social media posts.

    No. Although there may be individuals. Certainly not institutionally racist

    It is possible to interpret this differently, although the result is the same; snobbery.
    It can be just as difficult to get the police interested in poor working class or underclass white youths and children, hence the disinterest in underclass children being raped in Rotherham.
    Same often applies to other minorities like lgbt's
