Rejected petition Tackle institutionally racism and police brutality within the police force
The macpherson report highlighted institutional racism within the uk police force. Since then not much has change, we need to fully tackle this issue, with better leadership, better training to deal with people with mental health issues, racial bias testing and zero tolerance on "canteen culture"
More details
There is hundreds if not thousands of cases of racial profiling many recorded by members of public and so much more where there are no witnesses to the unfair treatment and practices of the police force. Police brutality is also a major issue that needs to be tackled which is now not just effecting ethnic minorities, this has to stop!!!
